4. Installation and Test Running
4.1. Installation
If the installation and/or environment of the Mechatronics Cylinder are poor, the life of the actuator may
be artificially shortened, or the Mechatronics Cylinder may malfunction. Please install the
Mechatronics Cylinder with the following care:
4.1.1. The Installation Environment
The Mechatronics Cylinder is generally intended for use indoors. Please provide a place for cylinder
installation that meets the following requirements:
① Free of corrosive and/or explosive gas.
② Minimal moisture and/or dust
③ Ambient temperature between 0 ﾟ C ~ 40 ﾟ C.
④ Ambient humidity is 90%RH or less and there is no condensation.
⑤ Accessible for maintenance.
⑥ Safe from water splashing and/or oils.
4.1.2. Recommended mounting of Mechatronics Cylinder
SCN5 Model (10Kgf Type) SCN6 Model (20Kgf, 40kgf, 50Kgf Type and 60 kgf)
The Mechatronics Cylinder is intended to be mounted with a flat washer, a split washer and an M5 cap
screw at the 4 holes in the mounting Flange. Placing the flat washer before the Spring washer is
important to avoid scratching the Mounting Flange.
The recommended screw torque is 20 kg-cm for SCN5 models, 45 kg-cm for SCN6 models.
Foot mounting brackets are available.
SCL Models
Please mount the slider on a flat surface with the M6 nuts located on the bottom face slots.
4.1.3. Use of the shaft tip screw
SCN5 Model (10Kgf Type) SCN6 Model (20Kgf, 40kgf, 50Kgf Type and 60 kgf)
The Mechatronics Cylinder uses a non-rotating Linear Actuation Mechanism. However it is not
designed to withstand significant torque. Please use a wrench to hold the shaft flats while the nut is
tightened onto the rod tip threads.
The recommended nut tightening torque is 30 kg-cm for SCN5 models, 45 kg-cm for SCN6 models.
If the rotary moment load is big and/or the backlash of the rotary direction is critical, please use an
anti-rotating mechanism.
4.1.4. Load installation accuracy
SCN5 Model (10Kgf Type) SCN6 Model (20Kgf, 40kgf, 50Kgf Type and 60 kgf)
Please ensure your guide is parallel to the rod of the
Mechatronics Cylinder to within 0.1mm along the entire
length of stroke. A simple way to check this dimension
is to install the actuator with loose mounting screws (at
the flange), then move the shaft through its stroke. If the
back of the Mechatronics Cylinder moves less than 0.1mm,
it is acceptable.
