How to detach the end cover
RANS1, 3, 8, 20
Push up the end cover to remove,
as shown in the diagram.
Sensor operation beyond the set angle
Loosen the magnet holder’s hexagon socket head bolt, as shown in
the diagram, and move the holder to the required angle for operation.
Note: If the holder has been removed, always mount it so that the magnet
end surface with the [S] marking faces toward the RAN body.
Mounting in the reverse direction could result in failure of the sensor
switch to operate.

Operation is easily accomplished
simply by inserting a flat blade
screwdriver of appropriate size
into the slot and pry it away
lightly, as shown in the diagram.

1. RANS sensors are pre-adjusted to the swing angles at shipping from the
factory. Do not attempt any unnecessary disassembly or removal.
If readjustment is required, see “Arrangement of swing angle and magnet
holder” on the next page.
2. Two magnet holders are mounted even with orders that do not have any
RANS sensors or have just 1 unit.

General precautionsSelection
Selection
1. Since thrust loads applied in the axial
direction on the vane type rotary actuator
can result in improper operation or
reductions in durability, take adequate
precautions for mounting and operating the
product.
The allowable thrust load listed in this
catalog is a reference value only, and not a
guaranteed value.
2. While radial loads perpendicular to the rod
can be considered to be static loads within
the specification values (see p.1261),
dynamic loads are limited to loads within
the allowable energy.
Moreover, since eccentric loads perpen-
dicular to the rod can result in improper
friction or damage to the sliding bearings,
use flexible couplings for connections as
much as possible.
3. During mounting, set loads or select fittings
to avoid applying stresses or loads to the
body.
Mounting
Precautions concerning the loading direction 1. Always thoroughly blow off (use
compressed air) the tubing before piping.
Entering metal chips, sealing tape, rust, etc.,
generated during piping work could result in
air leaks or other defective operation.
2. Use air for the media. For the use of any
other media, consult us.
3. The product cannot be used when the
media or ambient atmosphere contains any
of the substances listed below.
Organic solvents, phosphate ester type
hydraulic oil, sulphur dioxide, chlorine gas,
or acids, etc.
4. If using in locations subject to dripping
water, dripping oil, etc., or to large amounts
of dust, use a cover to protect the unit.
Handling Instructions and Precautions
1. Allow plenty of margin for output (torque).
Set the required torque at 80% or less
(50% or less for fluctuating loads) of the
effective torque.
The inertia load becomes larger when the
load mass is large, or during high operating
speeds, it may exceed the rotary actuator’s
allowable kinetic energy. In this case,
install a shock absorber to prevent the
rotary actuator from inertia force being
directly applied.
2. The positional relationship between the
swing angle and the keyseat is as shown
on p.1259. Even though tolerance of the
swing angle is within the range of to the
specification angles, install an external
stopper, etc., to maintain accurate
positioning.
3. For the swing time of the rotary actuator
(the time it takes to reach the end of swing
stroke from starting movement), see the
table below as a guideline.
