  • Page 9: Precautions On Selection

    9. Precautions on Selection 1) Confirm the specifications. Products represented in this manual are designed only for use in compressed air systems. Do not operate at pressures or temperatures, etc., beyond the range of specifications, as this can cause damage or malfunction. (Refer to the specifications.) Please contact SMC when using a fluid other than compressed air made by pneumatic equipment.
  • Page 10: Mounting Methods

    6) Consider a possible loss of power source. Measures should be taken to protect against human injury and equipment damage in the event that there is a loss of power to equipment controlled by air pressure, electricity or hydraulics,etc. 7) Design circuitry to prevent sudden lurching of driven objects. When a cylinder is driven by an exhaust center type directional control valve or when starting up after residual pressure is exhausted from the circuit, etc., the piston and its driven object will lurch at high speed if pressure is applied to one side of the...
  • Page 11 4) Do not perform additional machining to the product. Additional machining to the product can result in insufficient strength and cause damage to the product. This can lead to possible human injury and damage to the surrounding equipment. 5) Do not enlarge the fixed throttle by modifying the pipe connectors. If the hole diameter is enlarged, the product’s rotation speed will increase, causing the shock force to increase and damage to the product.
  • Page 12: Piping

    12. Piping 12-1. Attention in piping 1) Use clean air. If compressed air includes chemicals, synthetic oils containing organic solvents, salt or corrosive gases, etc., it can cause damage or malfunction. 1)Secure dry air. If moisture enters cylinder, grease inside the cylinder is washed away and air leak and malfunction may occur due to deterioration of lubrication.
  • Page 13: Operating Environment

    13. Operating Environment 1) Do not use in environments where there is a danger of corrosion. Refer to the construction drawings regarding cylinder materials. 2) In dirty areas, such as dusty locations or where water, oil, etc. splash on the equipment, take suitable measures to protect the entire actuator.
  • Page 14: Troubleshooting

    15. Troubleshooting Nonconformit Causes Countermeasures Remarks Lower operating speed Consider providing low speed than the limit specification. No smooth operation Increase Pressure. High load factor Use larger cylinder. Meter-in speed controller Change it to meter-out. Use heat resistant cylinder. High ambient temperature (Type M only) Use cold resistant cylinder.
  • Page 15: How To Exchange Seals

    16. How to exchange seals Disassemble and assemble the cylinder in clean condition. Wipe it with clean waste. 16-1.How to disassemble Tools : Snap ring plier for hole, Spanner, Socket wrench (or Air impact wrench) 1) Fix the spanner flat of piston rod with a spanner. Loosen the plate set bolt with the socket wrench to remove the guide rod assembly.

How to apply grease Use the grease pack:GR-S or lithium soap radical grease JIS2 corresponding. 1) Rod seal Apply grease slightly to outer circumference of new seal for replace. This helps the seal to accustom to the collar. For the grove, fill it with grease. This is necessary for operation.
