 EMC Directive
EMC of SPRKhas been measured in combination with a linear motion controller. Be sure to measure EMC
of the applicable equipment after installing this product, by referring to “Installing and wiring in compliance
with EMC Directives” in the Linear Motion Controller OPERATING MANUAL.
 Machinery Directive
Motorized linear slides is designed and manufactured for use as an internal component for general industrial
equipment, and therefore need not comply with the Machinery Directive. Nonetheless, they are evaluated
under the following standards:
Applicable Standards: EN ISO 12100-1, EN ISO 12100-2, EN 1050, EN 60204-1

3 Connection
Connect one end of the motor cable (sold separately) to the motor cable of the motorized linear slides, and
connect the other end to the motor connectors on the controller.
For the wiring of sensor cables, refer to 3.6 “Wiring the sensor I/O and user I/O” in the Linear Motion

3.1 Confirmation of controller key designation
Be sure to confirm that the motorized linear slides model shown on the controller key is the same as the
model of the motorized linear slides connected to the controller. If the two do not match, the motorized linear
slides cannot be operated according to the specification.
When you purchased a motorized linear slides only, install the supplied controller key on a controller to be
connected. For details, refer to “Controller key” in the Linear Motion Controller OPERATING MANUAL.

3.2 Connection of motor cable
Connect one end of the optional motor cable (sold separately) to the motor cable of the motorized linear
slides (SPRKand SPRAhave two connectors, while SPRConly has one connector).
Affix each connector and place a cover, etc., to prevent the connector from moving or receiving excessive
force.
Note Insert each motor cable connector until the lock lever is securely affixed.

4 Inspection
This chapter explains the maintenance items that must be performed to ensure safe, efficient operation of the
motorized linear slides.
Should you encounter any abnormality, immediately stop using the product and contact your nearest
Customer Service Center.
4.1 Inspection items and timing
Perform the inspections specified in the table below at the start of slides operation and after finishing the
operation.
Set an appropriate interval for post-operation inspection according to the utilization of the motorized linear
slides.
Inspection timing External check and cleaning Internal check
When operated for the first time ○―
After operation ○○
4.2 External check and cleaning
Check the items specified in table below.
Item What to check Action if problem is found
Motorized
linear slides
Are there any loose mounting screws? Tighten the screws securely.
Cables • Are there any damages or areas
receiving stress?
• Are there any loose connections with
the controller?
• Replace the damaged/stressed cable.
• Plug in the loose connector again.
Operating Are there any abnormal noise or
vibration from the bearings, etc.?
Check the installation of the load and
operating speed again.
• Clean the exterior surface of the motorized linear slides whenever necessary.
• Wipe off any dirt and stains using a soft cloth.
• Do not apply compressed air to prevent dust from entering through gaps.
• Do not use petroleum solvents, since they will damage the coated surface.
• To remove stubborn stains, wipe the area using a soft cloth moistened with neutral detergent.

4.3 Internal check/cleaning and greasing
Remove the frame cover to check and clean the internal parts.
Note Before removing any component, clean the exterior surface first. If dust enters the
motorized linear slides, the slides may generate noise during operation or suffer
breakdown.
1. Loosen the thin-head screws and remove the frame cover.

2. Visual check of condition inside the motorized linear slides.
Item What to check Action if problem is found
Are there any deposits of foreign
matter such as dust?
Remove the foreign matter.Ball-screw
shaft
Has the grease lost its gloss or been
consumed?
Clean the screw shaft with a soft cloth and
apply grease to the ball rolling groove.
Are there any deposits of foreign
matter such as dust?
Remove the foreign matter.Guide rail
Has the grease lost its gloss or been
consumed?
Use a soft cloth to clean the ball rolling
groove on both sides of the guide rail, and
apply grease to the ball rolling grooves.
Even if grease has turned brown, you need not add grease as long as the traveling surface looks slick.
