(Reference) Even with a light load, when the cylinder is stopped by an external stopper on the extended side, the maximum force generated by the cylinder acts on the cylinder itself. Table 2.

7) Class 2 pressure vessel A cylinder with gauge pressure of 0.2MPa or more and capacity of 0.04m or more, or a cylinder of bore size Ø200mm or more and stroke over 998mm, corresponds to a “Class 2 pressure vessel”. A withstand pressure certificate is supplied with these cylinders after an official inspection.
3. Mounting and Operation 1) Operating air: Compressed air supplied to the cylinder should be filtered using a filter such as SMC’s AF series and regulated to the specified set pressure using a regulator such as SMC’s AR series. Warning Use clean air.
Page 15
5. Design the system so that external force exceeding the maximum output will not act on the cylinder. There is a risk of cylinder breakage, human injury or equipment damage. 6. Make sure that the mounting base is rigid enough to withstand the large force generated by the cylinder.
Caution 1. Operate within the limits of the maximum usable stroke. Usage at a stroke exceeding the maximum stroke could damage the piston. Refer to the air cylinder model selection procedure (catalogue) for the maximum usable stroke. 2. Operate the piston within a range such that collision damage will not occur at the end of the stroke.
inspections. 6. Prevent foreign matter such as cutting chips from entering the cylinder through its supply port. When the cylinder is installed on site, cutting chips from drilling the mounting holes may enter the supply ports. 7. When mounting the cylinder, make sure the bellows are not twisted. 4) Operating environment Warning 1.
Caution 1. Precaution before piping Before piping is connected, perform an air blow (flushing) or cleaning to remove any cutting chips, cutting oil and other debris from the piping. 2. Wrapping of pipe tape When connecting piping and fittings, etc., prevent cutting chips and sealant material from getting inside the piping.
7) Speed control To control the cylinder speed, install a speed controller such as SMC’s AS Series near to the air supply port, and adjust to the specified speed. There are two methods of speed adjustment: restricting the air supplied to the cylinder, and restricting the air exhausted from the cylinder.
4. Maintenance 1) Inspection Daily inspection 1. Check the cylinder for smooth operation. 2. Check the cylinder for change of piston speed and cycle time. 3. Check the cylinder for abnormal stroke. Regular inspection 1. Check the cylinder mounting bolts and nuts for loosening. 2.
2) Overhaul If any abnormality is found in the regular inspection, the following parts should be inspected and corrective action taken. However, seal kits should always be replaced. Table 5.

when the bushing needs to be replaced, replace the whole push plate assembly. 4) Assembly 1. Before assembling the cylinder, be sure to clean each part to remove dust. 2. Before assembling, apply sufficient grease to the rod, bushing, tube and seal. 3.
5) Consumables 1. Seal kit is as follows. CS1N A -PS Tube bore size Seal kits or individual seals supplied by SMC are not packaged in airtight packaging. Therefore they should be used within one year. When it is necessary to store seals for a long period of time, they should be stored in airtight packaging as follows: Airtight storage: sealed in a polyethylene bag, then put in a box.
