Frame Grounding Wiring

The ELECYLINDER has a built-in controller circuit board.
The controller frame grounding line is connected to the ELECYLINDER body and through to ground via the ELECYLINDER mounting surface.
* The Ground wire, Grounding screw and the M3 square nut is to be prepared by the customer.
Slider Type
If not grounding through the mounting surface, there are fixing screws (2 locations) under the end cover, of which either one can be used for the ground wire connection.
image
When grounding cannot be secured on the installation surface for EC-(D)S3□(A)/(D)S4□(A), grounding can also be performed with the following method. Insert a M3 square nut in the T-shaped slot on the bearing housing and the side face of the bearing housing cover and put through a ground wire perform grounding.
image
If the EC-S8□ is not grounding through the mounting surface, there are fixing screws (3 locations) the controller cover, of which either one can be used for the ground wire connection.
image
If the EC-WS is not grounding through the mounting surface, there are fixing screws (4 locations) the controller cover, of which either one can be used for the ground wire connection.
image
Use a tester to measure the continuity between the fixing screws or grounding screws and grounding surface to check whether it is grounded or not.
Conduction can be checked in the area on the base bottom where no surface treatment is applied.

Belt Drive Type
If not grounding through the mounting surface, there are fixing screws (2 locations) under the end cover, of which either one can be used for the ground wire connection.
Motor on Top

* Pay attention to the wiring of the ground wire so it would not contact the moving part of the slider.
Motor on Bottom

Use a tester to measure the continuity between the fixing screws and grounding surface to check whether it is grounded or not.
Conduction can be checked in the area on the base bottom where no surface treatment is applied.

Rod Type, Radial Cylinder Type
If not grounding through the mounting surface, there are fixing screws the end cover or controller cover, of which either one can be used for the ground wire connection.
image
When grounding cannot be secured on the installation surface for EC-(D)RR3□/(D)RR4□, grounding can also be performed with the following method.
Insert a M3 square nut in the T-shaped slot on the bearing housing and the side face of the bearing housing cover and put through a ground wire perform grounding.
image
For EC-SRG11□/SRG15□, if grounding cannot be conducted at the attachment surface, connect the ground wire at one of the grounding screw holes equipped on the right and left sides of the reversing bracket in order to conduct grounding.
image
Use a tester to measure the continuity between the fixing screws or grounding screws and grounding surface to check whether it is grounded or not.
Conductivity can be secured where there is no surface treatment applied on the front bracket for the rod type and on the bottom of the base for the radial cylinder type.

Cleanroom Specification
If not grounding through the mounting surface, there are fixing screws (2 locations) under the end cover, of which either one can be used for the ground wire connection.
image
For EC-(D)S3□CR/(D)S4□CR, if grounding cannot be conducted at the attachment surface, insert an M3 square nut to the T-slot equipped on the side of the bearing housing and the bearing housing cover to connect the ground cable in order to perform grounding.
image
If the EC-S8□□CR is not grounding through the mounting surface, there are fixing screws (3 locations) the controller cover, of which either one can be used for the ground wire connection.
image
If the EC-(D)WS10□CR/(D)WS12□CR is not grounding through the mounting surface, there are fixing screws (4 locations) the controller cover, of which either one can be used for the ground wire connection.
