Handling Precautions
1. Do not set a speed or acceleration/deceleration exceeding the applicable rating.
Do not set a speed or acceleration/deceleration exceeding the applicable rating. Doing so may result in vibration,
failure or shorter life. If an acceleration/deceleration exceeding the rating is set, creep may occur or the coupling
may slip.
2. Oil film of grease may run out if short-distance reciprocating operation is
performed.
When performing continuous reciprocating operation of a distance of 20 mm or shorter, oil film of grease may
run out. To recover oil film, perform approximately five cycles of a distance of 50 mm or longer, every 5,000 to
10,000 cycles, as a guideline
3. Do not hit the spiral cover with tools or similar or squeeze with fingers.
The spiral cover is a thin panel rolled in spirals. Exercise caution because it is deformed if you hit the spiral cover
with tools or squeeze with fingers.
Spiral cover
4. Do not apply external force on the rod from directions other than the rod traveling
direction.
Do not apply external force (radial load) on the rod from directions other than the rod traveling direction. If force
in the perpendicular or rotating direction is applied on the rod, the actuator may be damaged or malfunction.
If external force from directions other than the traveling direction is applied, mount an actuator with guide or
external guide.
5. Do not leave the product for a long time with the work piece attached on.
6. The slider for the actuator of Lead 10 may move when the servo is OFF even if
there is no load applied on it.
7. The operation noise may get loud in some conditions of use.
-7-
8. With short (RP5N/RN5N) actuators, do not directly move the actuator rod back and
forth without using a guide.
If the rod is moved back and forth directly without using a guide, the feed screw will receive an uneven load and
may bend or cause damage to the internal mechanism.
Warning: Do not directly move the actuator rod back and forth without using a guide. The feed screw will
receive an uneven load and may cause damage to the actuator.
9. With a low-lead type (lead: 2.5 mm), do not move the actuator back and forth by
forcibly pushing or pulling the rod side.
With a low-lead type, moving the actuator from the rod side generates strong resistance.
If the actuator is forcibly moved, the load applied to the feed screw may cause malfunction or damage. Use a
rotational tool (optional), etc., from the back side to turn the rotary shaft.

3. Life
3.1 RN5N, RP5N
As a rough guide, the table below shows the life of each actuator type when operated at the maximum payload
capacity and maximum acceleration/deceleration.
It is the product life under an assumption that a guide is attached on the product so there is no radial load or
moment load applied on the rod.
3. Life
Stroke Life
50mm 5,000km or 50,000,000 times of back and forth operations
75mm 5,000km or 50,000,000 times of back and forth operations
3.2 GS5N, GD5N, SD5N
There difference for operation under the maximum acceleration and deceleration speeds may differ depending
on the radial load applied on the tip. However, the reference for the product life is as shown in the table below
even at the maximum.
Stroke Life
50mm 5,000km or 50,000,000 times of back and forth operations
75mm 5,000km or 50,000,000 times of back and forth operations
The relation between the radial load and the product life is as shown in the graph below:
