Precautions in Handling
1. Handling of the P acked Product
Unless otherwise specified, the actuator is shipped with each axis packaged separately.
• Do not damage or drop. The package is not supplied with any special treatment that enables it to resist
an impact caused by a drop or crash.
• If the shipping box is to be left standing, it should be in a horizontal position. Follow the instruction if
there is any for the packaging condition.
• Do not step or sit on the package.
• Do not put any load that may cause a deformation or breakage of the package.
2 Handling of Rob ot without Package
• Do not carry the actuator by holding the cable, or do not move it by pulling the cable.
• When carrying the actuator, exercise caution not to bump it against nearby objects or structures.
• Do not give any excessive force to any of the sections in the actuator.
Installation Environment, Storage Environment
1. Installation Environment
An environment that satisfies the following conditions is required during installation.
• There should be no direct sunlight.
• Any radiant heat from a large heat source such as a heat treatment furnace should not be directed at
the machine main body.
• The ambient temperature should be 0 to 40°C.
• The relative humidity should be 85% or less. There should not be dew condensation.
• There should be no corrosive gas or flammable gas.
• It should be normal assembling work environment where there is not too much dust.
(Dust-proof Types RCP2W-GRSS and RCP2W-GRLS are excluded)
• Oil mist or cutting liquid should not be directed at the machine.
• An impact or vibration should not be transmitted to it.
• There should be no strong electromagnetic waves, ultraviolet rays or radiation.
• Chemical resistance specification is not considered to this product.
It is generally the environment where a worker can work without any protection gear or protection wear.
2. Storage and Preservation Environment
The storage and preservation environment should comply with the same standards as those for the
installation environment. In particular, when the machine is to be stored for a long time, pay close
attention to environmental conditions so that no dew condensation forms.
Unless specially specified, moisture absorbency protection is not included in the package when the
machine is delivered. In the case that the machine is to be stored in an environment where dew
condensation is anticipated, take the condensation preventive measures from outside of the entire
package, or directly after opening the package.
For storage temperature, the machine withstands temperatures up to 60°C for a short time, but in the
case of the storage period of 1 month or more, control the temperature to 50°C or less.

Attachment
Refer to the Instruction Manual (CD) for the attachments of the actuator and loads.
[Precautions for Attachments]
No. Item Precautions
1 Attachment Surface
• The ac tuator mounting surface and other surfaces that are used as a
datum should be flat enough with an accuracy of machining or
equivalent treatment, and the flatness of the mounting surface needs
to be ±0.05mm/m or less.
• Secure the space where maintenance work can be performed.
2 Bolts to be used
• For the bolts to be used, a high-tensile bolt complying with ISO-10.9
or more is recommended.
• If using the tapped holes , use screws with the thread length
dimension being less than the effective depth of the holes.
• In case the tapped hole is a through hole, be careful so the screw tip
does not exceed the surface of the tapped hole.
• For the actuator mounting, use a bolt with the dimension of its
effective mating length to the tapped hole size as stated below.
If tapped hole in steel → thread length same as nominal diameter
If tapped hole in aluminum → thread length 2 times longer than
nominal diameter
3 Tightening Torque • Please follow the specification values stated in the Instruction Manual
(CD) for the tightening torque.
Failure to do so may cause an operation problem.
4 Allowable Load
Moment
• Please follow the specified value stated in the Instruction Manual (CD)
for the allowable load moment. If a load beyond the range is applied, it
may shorten the product life. An extremely high load may cause
flaking.
Wiring
For the controller, only the dedicated controller manufactured by our company can be used.
Use the dedicated cable enclosed in the package when connecting the actuator and the
controller.

[Prohibited Items in the Cable Processing]
• Do not pull or bend forcibly the cable so as not to give any extra load or tension to the
cable.
• Do not process the cable for extension or shortening by means of cutting out,
combination or connecting with another cable.
• Do not let the cable flex at a single point.
• Do not let the cable bend, kink or twist.
• Do not pull the cable with a strong force.
• Do not let the cable receive a turning force at a single point.
• Do not pinch, drop a heavy object onto or cut the cable.
• When fixing the cable, provide a moderate slack and do not tension it too tight.
• Separate the I/O line, communication line and power line from each other.
Arrange so that such lines are independently routed in the duct.
• Take care of the following items using the cable carrier.
• Arrange the wiring so that there is no entanglement or kink of the cables in the cable
carrier or flexible tube, and do not bind the cables so that the cables are relatively free.
(Do not bend it at an angle of 90° or less)
• The cable track capacity for cables to put in should be 60% or less to prevent cables
from breaking. (Cable heat is not considered.)
Note:
• When the cable is connected or disconnected, make sure to turn off the power to the controller.
When the cable is connected or disconnected with the controller power turned ON, it might cause a
malfunction of the actuator and r esult in a serious injury or damage to the machinery.
• When the connector connection is not correct, it would be dangerous because of a malfunction of
the actuator. Make sure to confirm that the connector is connected correctly.
