2.2 Installation and storage/preservation environment
Usage is possible in environments of pollution degree 2 or equivalent.
Pollution degree 2: Environment in which generally only nonconductive pollution occurs,
but temporary conductive pollution may occur due to condensation
(IEC 60664-1)
Installation Environment
The actuator should be installed in a location other than those specified below.
In general, the installation environment should be one in which an operator can work without
protective gear.
● Where the actuator receives radiant heat from strong heat sources such as heat treatment
furnaces
● Where the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 40°C
● Where the temperature changes rapidly and condensation occurs
● Where the relative humidity exceeds 85% RH
● Where the actuator receives direct sunlight
● Where the actuator is exposed to corrosive or combustible gases
● Where the ambient air contains a large amount of powder dust, salt or iron (at level exceeding
what is normally expected in an assembly plant)
● Where the actuator is subject to splashed water, oil (including oil mist or cutting fluid) or
chemical solutions
● Where the actuator receives impact or vibration
● Where the altitude is more than 2,000m
Also, provide sufficient work space for the following maintenance and inspection:
● Space to replenish grease
● Space to replace the motor
If the actuator is used in any of the following locations, provide sufficient shielding measures:
● Where noise generates due to static electricity, etc.
● Where the actuator is subject to a strong electric or magnetic field
● Where the actuator is subject to ultraviolet ray or radiation
