Actuator CableThe actuator cable is the cable that extends from the rear of the actuator's motor.Secure the actuator cable in place so that it does not move, as any force exerted on the actuator cable may cause a malfunction. If the cable must support bending motion, use a motor-encoder cable, designed for robots.17. Motor-Encoder CableThe motor-encoder cable is the cable that connects the actuator and the controller.Depending on the actuator type, some models use a motor-encoder cable that is split into a separate motor cable and an encoder cable, and other models use an integrated motor-encoder cable.Moreover, there are two different specifications of this cable: The standard cable specification and the robot cable specification, which has an outstanding flex resistance.To use in a cable track, be sure to use the robot cable, using caution not to bend beyond the minimum bend radius R for the cable. (The minimum bend radius R is specified for each cable on the respective pages.)To check the cable type for each model, see "Table of Actuator-Controller Connection Cable Types" on page A-39.18. About the Splash-Proof Actuator CableAlthough the scope of protective construction of the splash-proof type includes the cable, the connector at the end of the actuator cable is not splash proof. Therefore, secure the end of the actuator cable in a place that is not prone to water spills. (For this reason, the actuator cable for a splash-proof model is 2m long)19. Service LifeThe service life of the actuator is directly related to the service life of the components that make up the actuator (guide, ball screw, motor, etc.).Moreover, the service life for these components changes significantly depending on the usage requirements. For example, each guide has an allowable load moment (see page A-5). If the guide is hypothetically used at half the moment of the allowable moment, its service life is eight times more than the specified service life.If used conservatively, it can be used for 10 years or more.Therefore, when selecting a model, it is recommended that you select a model with more head room.20. WarrantyThe warranty period expires upon elapse of one of the following periods, whichever occurs first.18 months after shipment from IAI factory in Japan 12 months after delivery to the location specified 2500 hours after start of operationIAI will repair free of charge any actuator defects due to craftsmanship or material that may occur during the above warranty period despite use under appropriate conditions. Note, however, that defects resulting from handling or use in any condition or environment not specified in the catalog, operation manual are excluded from the scope of warranty. The warranty covers only the actuator delivered by IAI or by IAI authorized distributors, and any secondary losses arising from a failure of the delivered product is excluded from the scope of warranty. The defective actuator must be sent in for repair.RoboCylinder General Catalogue Pre-44
