Description Description
1 Model Selection ƔThis product has not been planned and designed for the application where high
level of safety is required, so the guarantee of the protection of human life is
impossible. Accordingly, do not use it in any of the following applications.
1) Medical equipment used to maintain, control or otherwise affect human life or
physical health.
2) Mechanisms and machinery designed for the purpose of moving or transporting
people (For vehicle, railway facility or air navigation facility)
3) Important safety parts of machinery (Safety device, etc.)
ƔDo not use the product outside the specifications. Failure to do so may
considerably shorten the life of the product.
ƔDo not use it in any of the following environments.
1) Location where there is any inflammable gas, inflammable object or explosive
2) Place with potential exposure to radiation
3) Location with the ambient temperature or relative humidity exceeding the
specification range
4) Location where radiant heat is added from direct sunlight or other large heat
source
5) Location where condensation occurs due to abrupt temperature changes
6) Location where there is any corrosive gas (sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid)
7) Location exposed to significant amount of dust, salt or iron powder
8) Location subject to direct vibration or impact
ƔFor an actuator used in vertical orientation, select a model which is equipped with a
brake. If selecting a model with no brake, the moving part may drop when the
power is turned OFF and may cause an accident such as an injury or damage on
the work piece.
2 Transportation ƔWhen carrying a heavy object, do the work with two or more persons or utilize
equipment such as crane.
ƔWhen the work is carried out with 2 or more persons, make it clear who is to be the
leader and who to be the follower(s) and communicate well with each other to
ensure the safety of the workers.
ƔWhen in transportation, consider well about the positions to hold, weight and
weight balance and pay special attention to the carried object so it would not get hit
or dropped.
ƔTransport it using an appropriate transportation measure.
The actuators available for transportation with a crane have eyebolts attached or
there are tapped holes to attach bolts. Follow the instructions in the Operation
manual for each model.
ƔDo not step or sit on the package.
ƔDo not put any heavy thing that can deform the package, on it.
ƔWhen using a crane capable of 1t or more of weight, have an operator who has
qualifications for crane operation and sling work.
ƔWhen using a crane or equivalent equipments, make sure not to hang a load that
weighs more than the equipment’s capability limit.
ƔUse a hook that is suitable for the load. Consider the safety factor of the hook in
such factors as shear strength.
ƔDo not get on the load that is hung on a crane.
ƔDo not leave a load hung up with a crane.
ƔDo not stand under the load that is hung up with a crane.
