2.3.3 Attachment of the Transported Object
There are screw holes and reamed holes equipped on the slider surface of each axis in order to affix
transported objects.
For more details refer to the [Chapter 8 External Dimensions].
Tightening screws
• Use hexagonal socket head bolts for the male threads for installing the attachment.
• It is recommended to use high-tensile bolts with ISO-10.9 or more.
• Make sure to have the effective length of screw engagement described below or more for the
tightening of a bolt and a female screw.
When female screw is on steel → thread length same as nominal diameter
When female screw is on aluminum → thread length 1.8 times longer than nominal diameter
Caution: Pay special attention when selecting the bolt length. In case that an inappropriate
length of a bolt is applied, it may cause a drop in the operation accuracy or an
unexpected accident due to a damage to the tapped holes, insufficient strength
of actuator attachment or an interference with the operating area.
