8Caution in Handling1. Do not set speeds and accelerations/decelerations equal to or greater than the respectiveratings.If the actuator is operated at a speed or acceleration/deceleration exceeding the allowable value, abnormalnoise or vibration, failure, or shorter life may result.In the case of interpolated operation of combined axes, the speed and acceleration/deceleration settingsshould correspond to the minimum values among all combined axes.2. Keep the load moment within the allowable value.If the actuator is operated under a load equal to or greater than the allowable load moment, abnormal noiseor vibration, failure, or shorter life may result. In an extreme case, flaking may occur.3. Keep the overhang length to within the allowable value.If the overhang length is equal to or greater than the allowable value, vibration or abnormal noise may occur.4. Back and forth operation in a short distance may cause wear of grease.If the actuator is moved back and forth continuously over a short distance of 30 mm or less, grease film mayrun out. As a guide, move the actuator back and forth repeatedly for around 5 cycles over a distance of 50mm or more after every 5,000 to 10,000 cycles.5. A soiled, slacked or deformed stainless sheet can cause problems.x If the stainless sheet is soiled by attachment of adhesive, coating material, etc., the stainless sheet may bescratched, which may in turn generate dust to affect the required cleanliness or dirty the work part. In anextreme case, the slider may malfunction.Also exercise due caution that the stainless sheet is magnetically attracted to the side covers usingmagnets, so iron powder and other magnetic matters can attach to the stainless sheet easily.If the stainless sheet has become dirty, wipe the dirty areas using alcohol.x Do not pinch or otherwise apply force to the stainless sheet. If the stainless sheet is used while beingdeformed or slacked, the stainless sheet will break.If the stainless sheet has deformed, replace the stainless sheet. If the stainless sheet has slacked, removethe stainless sheet and then install it again.[Refer to 13, “Replacement/Adjustment Procedure for Stainless Sheet”]5. Make sure to attach the actuator properly by following this operation manual.Using the product with the actuator not being certainly retained or affixed may cause abnormal noise,vibration, malfunction or shorten the product life.
