Operating Safety Regulation:
1. While operating an actuator, don't interrupt the motor operation to avoid failures in motor or mechanical structure.
2. Please follow the directions and use the nominal voltage of actuator motor with DC voltage. The supplied DC voltage
can provide the maximum current at the maximum load.
3. If customers use power supplies and controllers themselves, please follow the current allowed for wire cross-section to
install over current protectors (such as fuse), on the output end of power supplier or the input end of actuator power and
use this over current signal to control actuators, which not only stop movement or disconnect power supply but also
ensure the extension tube of an actuator at the limit position or under the overload operation can disconnect the power
and provide appropriate control and protection.
4. Unless specially customized, the duty cycle of our actuator should be 10%. The duty cycle is defined to continuously
operate 2 minutes and pause 18 minutes. If customers operate over duty cycle (10%), please install overheat detection
and prevention devices (as a fan) and use this overheat detection signal to control actuators to stop movement or
disconnect power supply according to control requirements.

5. If customers don't purchase limit switches, please install the limit switches at the stroke positions of the extension tube
of an actuator yourself and combine that limiter for power failure on controllers and power suppliers to ensure the
power can be disconnected when the extension tube of an actuator moves to the stroke and wire position.
6. The actuator is DC driven. When the two input wires of motor power are exchanged, the extension tube of the
actuator will reversely move. Please use proper controllers and power suppliers while stop. Two input wires of motor
power are short-circuited to provide auxiliary brake. Note that the power of actuator motor should be disconnected
and then short-circuited to avoid short circuit on power supplier.
7. Don't operate up to the stroke limit if there are no limit switches and controllers have no overload protection.
8. Don't apply actuators over the maximum load indicated by the specifications.
9. If the actuator isn't water-proof, please follow the water-proof regulations.

2. Installation Guide
2.1 Please ensure that the extension tube is in the "lowest position" before installing actuators.
2.1.1 The term "lowest position" in this user's guide refers to the position such that there is no further
movement towards the DC motor while the actuator is powered on. (Please refer to the figure
below.)
2.1.2 External limit switch: For installing an external limit switch, please ensure the extension tube
is in the lowest position before installing an actuator (Please refer to the figure below.).
※If an actuator doesn't have an external limit switch installed, you must install the stroke limiter on an actuator yourself.
The distance between two actuator limit switches can't be longer than the stroke of the actuator. And then rotate the
extension tube to adjust the length of an actuator, which can meet the minimum requirements to install actuators.
※To avoid any wrong movements of actuators, there shouldn't have any magnetic materials close to external limit
switches within 30mm.

MA99UE17-1804

2.1.3 LAC1 Installation
2.2 The front and end joints of the linear actuator should be mounted onto two fixed positions on the main
chassis. Locations of these fixed positions should be chosen according to the stroke length of the linear
actuator (Users must be cautious that the two-way movement of linear actuator must be smooth and within
the stroke length after installed onto the fixed positions). Please ensure that no obstacle exists along the
travel path of the actuator.
2.3 After the fixed positions have been selected, install the fixtures onto these selected positions of the main
chassis. These fixtures are used to fix the front and end joints of linear actuator to the chassis.
2.4 Assemble the front and end joints of the linear actuator onto the two fixtures using fixture bolts. Please
ensure that the fixture bolts are able to rotate freely after this step is completed. On the other hand, users
should also make sure that the fixture bolts would not drop off either during operating or resting period.
2.5 The chassis of linear actuator should be fixed in the horizontal direction if it is going to be operated in this
direction and likewise for vertical operation.
2.6 The operation of the linear actuator should be tested manually after the installation is completed. Users
should make sure that:
The travel distance of the actuator is matching the requirement of the structural design.
The upper and lower limit switches are operated normally.
The motor stops when the extension tube reaches upper and lower limit switch positions.
If the linear actuator fails to meet any of these conditions, please repeat steps 2.2 to 2.4 until the above
mentioned clauses are met

MA99UE17-1804
10
2.7 The entire installation is finished only if steps 2.1 to 2.6 are executed successfully.
2.8 HIWIN Mikrosystem Corp. cannot take any responsibility for any injuries and/or damages caused as a
result of not complying with the clauses of this section.
3. Note:
3.1 Don't use this product to make current transient inversion. If you try to backwardly move the present
extension tube that forwardly moves, you must stop the motor and apply the reverse current to make
backward movement. On the contrary, if you want the extension tube backward moved to forward, the
way to supply current will be the same as mentioned above.
3.2 Don't use this product with a radial load (Please refer to figures and tables below.) because an actuator
more appropriately applies to take the axial load. If there is product damage, accident or personal injury
caused by improper load, we will not take any legal responsibility.
3.2.1 LA Series
3.2.2 LAC1 Series
3.3 For fixing the extension tube in this actuator on one guding mechanism, please refer to the installation guide.
