Note 1) The strokes shown in ( ) areproduced upon receipt of order.
Note 2) The speed is dependent on the workload. Check the following “Speed-workload graphs” for the selected model.
The workload is changed by the stroke and workload mounting condition. Check the following “Allowble dynamic moment graphs”
for the selected model.
Also if the cable length exceeds 5m, the speed will be reduced 10% per 5m as the maximum.
Note 3) A reference value for correcting an error in reciprocal operation.
Note 4) Impact resistance:No malfunction occurred when the actuator was tested with a drop tester in both the stroke direction and
perpendicular direction to the stroke. (The test was performed with the actuator in the initial state.)
Vibration resistance:No malfunction occurred in a test ranging between 45 to 2000 Hz, when the actuator was tested in both the
stroke direction and a perpendicular direction to the stroke. (The test was performed with the actuator in the initial state.)
Note 5) Allowable external force is the allowable resistance when mounting cable duct and so on in parallel.
Note 6) The "Power consumption" (including the controller) is for when the actuator is operating.
Note 7) The “Standby power consumption when operating” (including the controller) is for when the actuator is stopped in the set position
during operation.
Note 8) The "Momentary max. power consumption" (including the controller) is for when the actuator is operating.
This value can be used for the selection of the power supply.
Note 9) Only applies to actuators supplied with a lock.
Note10)For the actuator with lock, please add the power consumption for the lock.

and operation failure of the product.
Any damage attributed to the use beyond the specifications is not guaranteed.
2. There is a possibility of dangerous sudden action by the product if sliding parts of machinery
are twisted due to external forces etc.
In such cases, human injury may occur, such as by catching hands or feet in the machinery, or
damage to the machinery itself may occur. Design the machinery should be designed to avoid such
dangers.
3. A protective cover is recommended to minimize the risk of personal injury.
If a driven object and moving parts of the product are in close proximity, personal injury may occur.
Design the system to avoid contact with the human body.
4. Securely tighten all stationary parts and connected parts so that they will not become loose.
When the product operates with high frequency or is installed where there is a lot of vibration, ensure
that all parts remain secure.
5. Consider a possible loss of power source.
Take measures to prevent injury and equipment damage even in the case of a power source failure.
6. Consider behavior of emergency stop of whole system.
Design the system so that human injury and/or damage to machinery and equipment will not be
caused, when it is stopped by a safety device for abnormal conditions such as a power outage or a
manual emergency stop of whole system.
7. Consider the action when operation is restarted after an emergency stop or abnormal stop of
whole system.
Design the system so that human injury or equipment damage will not occur upon restart of operation
of whole system.
8. Never disassemble or modify (including additional machining) the product.
An injury or failure can result.
It will cause the loss of the product performance.
9. Do not use the stop signal, "EMG" of the controller and stop switch on the teaching box as the
emergency stop of system.
The stop signal, "EMG" of controller and the stop switch on the teaching box are for decelerating and
stopping the actuator.
Design the system with an emergency stop circuit which is applied relevant safety standard
separately.
10. When using it for vertical application, it is necessary to build in a safety device.
The table may fall due to the weight of work. The safety device should not interfere with normal
operation of the machine.
Caution
1. Operate within the limits of the maximum usable stoke.
The product will be damaged if it is used with the stroke which is over the maximum stroke. Refer to
the specifications of the product.
2. When the product repeatedly cycles with partial strokes, operate it at a full stroke at least once
a day or every 1000 strokes.
Otherwise, lubrication can run out.
3. Do not use the product in applications where excessive external force or impact force is
applied to it.
The product can be damaged. Each component that includes motor is made with accurate tolerance.
So even slightly deformed or miss-alignment of component may lead operation failure of the product.
-27-
4. Returning to origin cannot be done during the operation.
It cannot be done during positioning operation, pushing operation and pushing.
5. Refer to a common auto switch /matter (Best Pneumatics No 2) when an auto switch is built in

6. When conformity to UL is required, the electric actuator and controller should be used with a
UL1310 Class 2 power supply.
5.2 Mounting
Warning
1. Install and operate the product only after reading the Operation Manual carefully and
understanding its contents. Keep the manual in a safe place for
2. Observe the tightening torque for screws.
Unless stated otherwise, tighten the screws to the recommended torque for mounting the product.
3. Do not make any alterations to this product.
Alterations made to this product may lead to a loss of durability and damage to the product, which can
lead to human injury and damage to other equipment and machinery.
4. When using external guide, the guide axis should be parallel to the actuator axis.
There will be damage/excessive wear on the lead screw if the external guide is not parallel.
5. When an external guide is used, connect the moving parts of the product and the load in such a
way that there is no interference at any point within the stroke.
Do not scratch or dent the sliding parts of the table or mounting face etc., by striking or holding them
with other objects. The components are manufactured to precise tolerances, so that even a slight
deformation may cause faulty operation or seizure.
6. Prevent the seizure of rotating parts.
Prevent the seizure of rotating parts (pins, etc.) by applying grease.
7. Do not use the product until you verify that the equipment can be operated correctly.
After mounting or repair, connect the power supply to the product and perform appropriate functional
inspections to check it is mounted correctly.
8. Cantilever
When the actuator is operated at high speed while it is fixed at one end and free at the other end
(flange type, foot type, double clevis type, direct mount type), a bending moment may act on the
actuator due to vibration generated at the stroke end, which can damage the actuator. In such a case,
install a support bracket to suppress the vibration of the actuator body or reduce the speed so that the
actuator does not vibrate. Use a support bracket also when moving the actuator body or when a long
stroke actuator is mounted horizontally and fixed at one end.
9. When mounting the actuator or attaching to the work piece, do not apply strong impact or large
moment.
If an external force over the allowable moment is applied, it may cause looseness in the guide unit, an
increase in sliding resistance or other problems.

a. Locations where a large amount of dusts and cutting chips are airborne.
b. Locations where the ambient temperature is outside the range (refer to specifications).
c. Locations where the ambient humidity is outside the range (refer to specifications).
d. Locations where corrosive gas, flammable gas, sea water, water and steam are present.
e. Locations where strong magnetic or electric fields are generated.
f. Locations where direct vibration or impact is applied to the product.
g. Areas that are dusty, or are exposed to splashes of water and oil drops.
h. Areas exposed to direct sunlight (ultraviolet ray).
2. Do not use in an environment where the product is directly exposed to liquid, such as cutting oils.
If cutting oils, coolant or oil mist contaminates the product, failure or increased sliding resistance can result.
3. Install a protective cover when the product is used in an environment directly exposed to
foreign matters such as dust, cutting chips and spatter.
Play or increased sliding resistance can result.
4. Shade the sunlight in the place where the product is applied with direct sunshine.
5. Shield the product if there is a heat source nearby.
When there is a heat source surrounding the product, the radiated heat from the heat source can increase
the temperature of the product beyond the operating temperature range. Protect it with a cover, etc.
6. Grease oil can be decreased due to external environment and operating conditions and it
deteriorates lubrication performance to shorten the life of the product.
[Storage]
Warning
1. Do not store the product in a place in direct contact with rain or water drops or is exposed to
harmful gas or liquid.
2. Store in an area that is shaded from direct sunlight and has a temperature and humidity within
the specified range (-10°C to 60°C and 90%RH or less No condensation or freezing).
3. Do not apply vibration and impact to the product during storage.

5.5 Maintenance
Warning
1. Do not disassemble or repair the product.
Fire or electric shock can result.
Contact SMC, in case of disassembly for the maintenance.
2. Before modifying or checking the wiring, the voltage should be checked with a tester 5
minutes after the power supply is turned off.
Electrical shock can result.
Caution
1. Maintenance should be performed according to the procedure indicated in the Operating
Manual.
Incorrect handling can cause an injury, damage or malfunction of equipment and machinery.
2. Removal of product
When equipment is serviced, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent dropping of work
pieces and run-away of equipment, etc, and then cut the power supply to the system. When
machinery is restarted, check that operation is normal with actuators in the proper positions.
[Lubrication]
Caution
1. The product has been lubricated for life at manufacturer, and does not require lubrication in
service.
Contact SMC if lubrication will be applied.
5.6 Precautions for actuator with lock
Warning
1. Do not use the lock as a safety lock or a control that requires a locking force.
The lock used for the product with a lock is designed to prevent dropping of work piece.
2. Do not apply an impact load or strong vibration while the lock is activated.
If an external impact load or strong vibration is applied to the product, the lock will lose it’s holding
force and damage to the sliding part of the lock or reduced lifetime can result. The same situation will
happen when the lock slips due to a force higher than its holding force, as this will accelerate the wear
to the lock.
3. Do not apply liquid or oil and grease to the lock or its surrounding.
When liquid or oil and grease are adhered to the sliding part of the lock, its holding force will reduce
significantly. Or, lock sliding part performance and condition changes may be cause of lock release
malfunction.
4. Take “measures against drops” and check that safety is assured before mounting, adjustment
and inspection of the product.
If the lock is released with the product mounted vertically, a work piece can drop due to its weight.
5. When the actuator is operated manually (when SVRE output signal is off), supply 24DCV
to the [BK RLS] terminal of the power supply connector.
If the product is operated without releasing the lock, wearing of the lock sliding surface will be
accelerated, causing reduction in the holding force and the life of the locking mechanism.
6. Do not supply 24VDC power supply constantly to the [BK RLS(Lock release)] terminal.
Stop supplying 24VDC power supply to the [BK RLS(Lock release) terminal during normal
operation. If power is supplied to the [BK RLS] terminal continuously, the lock will be released,
and workpieces may be dropped at stop (EMG).
/Refer to the operation manual of LEC (controller) for details of wiring.

6. Electric actuators / Guide rod Slider Common precautions
6.1 Design and selection
Warning
1. Do not apply a load in excess of the actuator specification.
A product should be selected based on the maximum work load and allowable moment.
If the product is used outside of the operating specification, eccentric load applied to the guide
will become excessive and have adverse effects such as creating play in the guide, reduced
accuracy and reduced product life. And also when “With magnet / switch rail” option is selected,
Auto switch may not detect correctly by the deflection of the guide rod.
2. Do not exceed the speed limit of the actuator specification.
Select a suitable actuator by the relationship of allowable work load and speed.
Noise or reduction of accuracy may occur if the actuator is operated in excess of its specification
and could lead to reduced accuracy and reduced product file.
3. Do not use the product in applications where excessive external force or impact force is
applied to it.
This can lead to premature failure of the product.
4. Do not apply excessive external force or impact force to the motor.
Miss-alignment of the motor may lead to signal detection error, increasing internal friction or damage
to the motor.
5. When external force is applied to the table, it is necessary to add the external force to the
workload as the total carried load for the sizing.
When mounting cable duct and so on in parallel to the actuator, it is necessary to add the friction
to the workload as the total carried load for the sizing too.
6. Because of the guide mechanism type, vibration that comes from an external source may
be introduced into the work-piece during operation.
Do not use this product in a location where vibration is not allowed.
6.2 Handling
Caution
1. INP output signal
1) Positioning operation
When the product comes within the set range by step data [In positon], output signal will be
turned on. Set to [1] or higher for LEL.
2. Do not change the positioning force from initial setting.
If the positioning force is changed, it may cause a decrease in performance.
3. Do not operate by fixing the table and moving the actuator body.
An excessive load will be applied to the table, which could lead to damage to the actuator and
reduced accuracy and reduced product life.
4. This actuator cannot be used for vertically mounted applications.
5. Check the specification for the minimum speed of each actuator.
6. In the case of the belt driven actuator, vibration may occur during operation at speeds
within the actuator specification, this could be caused by the operating conditions.
Change the speed setting to a speed that does not cause vibration.

6.3 Mounting
Caution
1. Ensure flatness of the mounting surface to within 0.2mm or less.
Insufficient flatness of the work piece or the surface onto which the actuator body is to be
mounted can cause play in the guide and increased sliding resistance.
2. When mounting the workpiece or other device to the actuator tighten the fixing screws
with adequate torque within the specified torque range.
Tightening the screws with a higher torque than the maximum may cause malfunction, whilst
tightening with a lower torque can cause the displacement of the mounting position or in extreme
conditions detaching of the work piece.
Model Bolt size
tightening
Use screws with adequate length, but with length less than the maximum thread depth.
The use of screws that are to long can touch the body and cause malfunction.
3. When mounting the actuator, use screws with adequate length and tighten them to the
adequate torque. And use all mounting holes to maintain the catalogue performance.
Tightening the screws with a higher torque than recommended may cause malfunction, whilst the
tightening with lower torque can cause the displacement of mounting position or in extreme
conditions the actuator could become detached from its mounting position.
