Precautions in Handling

1. Handling of the Packed Product
Please concern the handling of the unit so you would not hit or drop it while carrying.

• If the shipping box is to be left standing, it should be in a horizontal position.

• Do not step or sit on the package.

• Do not place on the carton any heavy object that may cause the carton to deform, or an article whose

shape allows a load to be concentrated at one point.

2. Handling of the Unpacked Product
Do not attempt to hold the cable when carrying the actuator, or pull the cables to move the unit.

Installation and Storage • Preservation Environment

1. Installation Environment
Do not use this product in the following environment.
Generally speaking, it should be an environment where a worker can work without any protective gear.
Also make sure to keep enough work space necessary for maintenance.

• Location exposed to radiant heat from a huge heat source such as the heat treatment

• Location where the surrounding air temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 40°C

• Location where condensation occurs due to abrupt temperature changes

• Location where relative humidity exceeds 85%RH

• Location exposed to direct sunlight

• Location exposed to corrosive gases or combustible gases

• Location exposed to significant amount of dust, salt or iron powder (Outside of ordinary assembly plant)

• Location where water, oil (includes oil mist and cutting fluid) or chemical is splashed

• Location where the product main body receives vibration or hit impact

When using the product in any of the locations specified below, provide a sufficient shield.

• Place subject to electrostatic noise

• Location where exposed to the influence of strong electric or magnetic field

• Location where exposed to the influence of ultraviolet or radiant rays

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
and preserved 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 and preservation temperature, the machine withstands temperatures up to 60°C for a short

time, but in the case of the storage and preservation period of 1 month or more, control the temperature to
50°C or less.

• Storage and preservation should be performed in the horizontal condition. In the case it is stored in the

packaged condition, follow the posture instruction if any displayed on the package.

[Precautions for Attachments]

No. Item Precautions

1 Attachment

• In installation posture, only vertical mount is available. Cannot be mounted
vertically, horizontally oriented on the wall or on the ceiling.

• Utilize the attachment holes provided on the attachment plate for the attachment of
the unit.

For the size of tightening screws, use M5 for counterbore type, M6 for

tapped type (option) of ST4525E, and M8 screws for ST68E and ST615E.

• For installation of the main body of ST4525E, it is available to mount from the top

for the counterbore type and from the top
and bottom, two ways, for tapped type
(option).
For installation, make sure to have the
distance from the bottom side of the pallet
to the top side of the bearing holder 3mm or
more as shown in the figures below.
Distance less than 3mm may cause
problems in stopping pallet or smooth
control of transportation.

• The ST68E and ST615E units can be
mounted in 2 ways, one from the top
surface of the attachment plate while the
other is from the bottom.

However, make sure the dimension from

the bottom surface of the pallet to the top
of the attachment plate is as shown in
the figure on the right.
Not following this may cause the pallet to
stop or the transportation may not be
carried out smoothly (by causing the
pallet to overrun or to be pushed up).

• Ensure a room for maintenance work.

2 Screws to

be used

• For the bolts to be used, a high-tensile bolt complying with ISO-10.9 or more is

• Make sure to have the effective length of screw engagement described below or more

for the tightening of a bolt and a female screw.
If female screw in steel → thread length same as nominal diameter
If female screw in aluminum→thread length 1.8 times longer than nominal diameter

[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 bend the cable in the area from the connector end inward to 150mm on both ends.
Standard cable : CB-CA-MPA□□□, CB-CAN-MPA□□□
Robot cable : CB-CA-MPA□□□-RB, CB-CAN-MPA□□□-RB

150mm 150mm

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 result 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.

• Do not let the cable flex at a single point.

Steel Strap
(Piano Wire)

Tie them up softly.

•

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.

Do not use spiral tube in any
position where cables are bent
frequently.

• Separate the I/O line, communication line and power
line from each other.
Arrange so that such lines are independently routed in
the duct.

(Flat Cable, etc.)

Follow the instructions below when using a cable track.

• If there is an indication to the cable for the space factor
in a cable track, refer to the wiring instruction given by
the supplier when storing the cable in the cable track.

• Avoid the cables to get twined or twisted in the cable
track, and also to have the cables move freely and do
not tie them up. (Avoid tension being applied when the
cables are bent.)
Do not pile up cables. It may cause faster abrasion of
the sheaths or cable breakage..
