For "Standard load coefficient fws", "Load coefficient fw" and "Mounting coefficient fα",
refer to the contents below for configuration and selection.
[Standard load coefficient fws]
For ELECYLINDERs described in this manual, calculate with fws = 1.2.
[Load coefficient fw]
This coefficient allows consideration of the effects on life due to operating conditions.

[Mounting coefficient fα]
This coefficient allows consideration of the effects on life due to ELECYLINDER
mounting status.

● The actuator used in the explanatory figures above is not the ELECYLINDER.
Replace with ELECYLINDER and select the mounting coefficient.
● Even when seated over the total length of the product, select 1.2 or 1.5 for
the mounting coefficient depending on the position of screw fixing and not
"fixing over the entire surface".
● Various mounting methods are available for the ELECYLINDER.
"Fixing over the entire surface" is considered to be the case only when fixing
with the T-slot and square nut provided on the mounting surface.
