Compact Actuator (DRL Series) Installation

Installing an Actuator

  • Insert the pilot located on the actuator mounting surface into the metal plate's countersunk hole or through-hole.
  • Insert the actuator to a rigid metal plate (with a thickness of 0.2 inch (5mm) or more), using mounting bolts. A mounting plate (model: PATP-) is available as an accessory.
   There are three ways of mounting an actuator to device.

Installation Conditions
Install the actuator in a place satisfying the following conditions, or the product may be damaged.
  • Inside an enclosure installed indoors (with ventilation holes provided)
  • Ambient temperature: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to +40°C) [nonfreezing]
  • Ambient humidity: 85% or less (no condensation)
  • Free of explosive, or toxis gases (sulfide gas, etc.) or liquids.
  • Not exposed to direct sunlight.
  • Not exposed to significant amounts of dust or iron powder.
  • Not exposed to water (rain, water droplets) , oil (oil droplets) or other liquids.
  • Not exposed to air having a high salt content
  • Not subject to continuous vibration or excessive shock.
  • Not subject to significant electromagnetic noise caused by welding machines, power equipment, etc.
  • Not exposed to radioactive materials, magnetic fields or vacuum conditions.
     

Anti-spin Mechanism

The moving part of the standard motor does not have an anti-spin mechanism. Always provide an external anti-spin mechanism, such as a guide for positioning operation. In addition, make sure the load is supported with a linear guide, etc.

Installing a Load

Standard Type  

1. Retract the screw shaft until it stops at the set collar

 
 

2. Holding the flat section of the screw shaft with a wrench, affix the load with a screw (or nut, in the case of the DRL28).

 
 

 

Installation Accuracy

When connecting a load, ensure the installation accuracy specified below. Poor installtion accuracy may result in a malfunction or shortened service life.

     
Guide Type    

 

1. Retract the screw shaft until it stops at the set collar.

2. Affix the load with a screw.

 
     

When using load-mounting taps on the screw-shaft side
Install the load using load-mounting taps on the L-shaped bracket and the appropriate bolts (not supplied).

 

When using load-mounting taps on the linear-guide side
Install the load using load-mounting taps on the L-shaped bracket and appropriate bolts (not supplied).

  • When installing a load to the guide type, do not disconnect the ball screw from the L-shaped bracket. This may cause an offset when assembling, resulting in malfunction.
  • Do not apply an overhung load to the L-shaped bracket of the guide type. Also, do not apply an inertial load to the L-shaped bracket of the DRL28 guide actuator. Doing so may result in a malfunction or shortened service life.
  • When transporting, remove the load installed to the actuator, or damage may be caused to the equipment.
