No. Operation Precautions
2 Transportation ●When transporting heavy objects, do the work with two or more persons or
utilize equipment such as a crane.
●When working with two or more persons, make it clear who is to be in charge
and communicate well with each other to ensure safety.
●During transportation, carefully consider the carrying positions,
weight, and weight balance, and be careful to avoid collisions or dropping.
●Use appropriate transportation measures for transport.
The actuators available for transportation with a crane have eyebolts attached
or tapped holes to attach bolts. Follow the instructions in the instruction
manual for each model.
●Do not climb onto the package.
●Do not put anything heavy that could deform the package on it.
●When using a crane with capacity of 1t or more, have an operator qualified for
crane operation and sling work.
●When using a crane or equivalent equipment, make sure not to suspend loads
exceeding the equipment's rated load.
●Use a hook that is suitable for the load. Consider the safety factor of the hook
in such factors as shear strength. Also, check to make sure that the hook is
free of damage.
●Do not climb on loads suspended from cranes.
●Do not leave loads suspended from cranes for long periods.
●Do not stand under loads suspended from cranes.

chemical spray
(2) Cable wiring
●Use IAI genuine cables for connecting the actuator and controller, and for the
teaching tools.
●Do not scratch cables, bend them forcibly, pull them, coil them, snag them, or
place heavy objects on them. Otherwise, this may lead to fire, electric shock,
or abnormal operation due to leakage or conduction malfunction.
●Perform the wiring for the product after turning OFF the power to the unit, and
avoid miswiring.
●When wiring DC power (+24V), be careful with the positive/negative polarity.
Incorrect connections may lead to fire, product breakdown or abnormal
operation.
●Connect the cable connector securely so that there is no disconnection or
looseness. Otherwise, this may lead to fire, electric shock, or abnormal
operation of the product.
●Never cut or reconnect the cables supplied with the product for the purpose of
extending or shortening the cable length. Otherwise, this may lead to fire or
abnormal operation of the product.
(3) Grounding
●Grounding must be performed, in order to prevent electric shocks or
electrostatic charge, enhance noise-resistant performance and control
unnecessary electromagnetic radiation.
●For the ground terminal on the AC power cable of the controller and the
grounding plate in the control panel, be sure to use a twisted pair cable with
wire thickness 0.5mm2(AWG20 or equivalent) or more for grounding work.
For safeguard grounding, it is necessary to select an appropriate wire
diameter for the load. Perform wiring that satisfies the specifications
(electrical equipment technical standards).
●Perform Class D grounding (former Class 3 grounding, with ground resistance
100Ωor below).

does not fall under its own weight, catching the operator's hand or damaging
workpieces.
5 Teaching ●When working with two or more persons, make it clear who is to be in charge
and communicate well with each other to ensure safety.
●Perform teaching operation from outside the safety/protection fence, if
possible. If operation must be performed within the safety/protection fence,
prepare "Work Regulations" and make sure that all the workers acknowledge
and understand them well.
●When operation is to be performed inside the safety/protection fence,
operators should have emergency stop switches available at hand so that the
unit can be stopped at any time if abnormalities occur.
●When operation is to be performed inside the safety/protection fence, have a
monitor standing by in addition to the operator(s) so that the unit can be
stopped at any time if abnormalities occur. Also, keep watch on the operation
so that a third party cannot operate the switches carelessly.

5. Do not apply radial load and load moment to the rod. (For rod type)
Loads can only be applied in the axial direction matching the rod axis.
6. If return operations are continued over a short distance, they may rapidly
degrade the film of grease.
Continuous return operation within a distance less than 30mm may cause the grease film to degrade
rapidly.
As a guideline, in every 5,000 to 10,000 cycles, have approximately 5 cycles of return operation over a
50mm distance or more to regenerate the oil film. Continued use of the actuator in that state may lead
to breakdown.
In extreme cases, flaking may occur on the guide or ball screw.
7. Do not attempt to have sliders or rods collide with an obstacle at high speed.
This may damage other mechanical parts.
8. Grease has been applied to the outer periphery of the rod for the rod type.
Protect the peripheral equipment if grease adhesion negatively affects them.
9. The "Allow ** mm or more" indicated in the External Dimensions is intended to
enable wiring without excessive force applied to the cable.
Allow *** mm or more cable linearity.
