Assembly Instructions

General Warnings and Cautions
Danger (May cause serious injury or death)
•Keep water, flammables, solvents and other liquids clear from actuator.
•Never place fingers, arms, toes and other body parts near actuator during operation.
•Cut power if actuator emits strange odors or smoke.
•Keep actuator out of reach of children.
Warning (May cause injury or damage to actuator)
•Before operating, read all applicable instructions and notices found here:
http://docs.hebi.us/#quickstart-guide-x-series-actuator
•Comply with the operating temperature (-10℃to 50℃)
•Turn off power source before connecting or disconnecting actuator power.
•Do not expose the actuator to permanent and strong magnetic fields.
•The actuator must not be exposed to dusty or wet environments.
•If actuator is under load, abruptly removing the power connection can cause permanent damage.
•Do not force screws into the bottom of the actuator.
- X5: 5mm tap depth - X8: 7mm tap depth
•Use provided hardware with accessories and hand tighten as needed.
•Do not attempt to disassemble actuator, this will void the warranty and can cause permanent damage.

Wiring Notes
•Keeping wires organized will help prevent tangling and add a nice aesthetic.
•Spiral sleeving is a good accessory for organizing loose wires
•HEBI X-Series actuators have a thru bore specifically designed to fit ethernet and power connectors.
•Please pass connectors thru bore hole 1 at a time.
For more information visit: docs.hebi.us
X-Series 6-DoF Arm Assembly Instructions 14
[Spiral sleeving]
Wires that come from the
previous joint should be inserted
directly to actuator ports.
Wires that connect to the next
joint should be threaded through
the actuator’s bore hole.
Power distribution boards are included to help
daisy-chain power connections.
These fit well within the tubes between actuators.
