10. Maximum Speed
A maximum speed is specified for this product to prevent resonance of the ball screw shaft while
conforming to the speed limit of the motor. Refer to the table below to find the maximum speed of your
actuator and operate the actuator at speeds not exceeding the maximum level.
Maximum speed limits
Type Stroke Maximum speed
50 mm 85 mm/sec
100 mm 120 mm/sec
Lead 2.5 (1t)
150 mm, 200 mm 125 mm/sec
Lead 1.25 (2t) 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm 62 mm/sec
Caution: If the actuator is used at speeds beyond the maximum level, noise may increase or vibration
may generate due to resonance of the ball screw shaft, and such increased noise or vibration
may consequently reduce the service life of the product.
If each actuator is used independently, write a program conforming to the maximum speed of
the actuator (refer to the table above). If multiple actuators are used in a synchronized
operation, write a program conforming to the lowest of the maximum speeds applicable to all
synchronized actuators.
In either way, always check the maximum speed of each applicable actuator when writing a
program.
