Precautions for Installation
˜External guide fixing method
Even when parallelism of the guide and the actuator has been adjusted, incorrect fixing risks premature damage to
the actuator. See below:
Rod type
The rod type actuator cannot accept a rotational force on the rod. "Rigid fixing" of an external guide is recommended, to restrict rotation of the rod. A "floating joint" which does not restrict rotation of the rod will create force on the rotation stop during operation. This could result in premature wear on the rotation stop. (Floating joints with rotation direction restrictions are acceptable.)

Rigid fixing
Radial Cylinder
"Floating joint" is recommended for the external guide fixing method. The floating joint absorbs the misalignment between the built-in guide and external guide, making adjustment easier. With"rigid fixing," it is difficult to adjust the parallelism between the built-in guide and external guide: even a minute deviation in parallelism applies load to the guide, which may cause premature damage.
