Safety Instructions Caution 1.The product is provided for use in manufacturing industries. The product herein described is basically provided for peaceful use in manufacturing industries. If considering using the product in other industries, consult SMC beforehand and exchange specifications or a contract if necessary. If anything is unclear, contact your nearest sales branch.
Names and functions of parts Pilot air supply port: P1 Discharge port AIR SUP FLUID OUT Suction port Pilot air supply port: P2 FLUID IN AIR SUP Foot (Option) Description Functions Suction port (FLUID IN) Sucks the fluid to be transferred. Connect suction piping. Discharge port (FLUID Discharges the fluid taken in the pump.
Precautions 1. Caution on Design Warning 1. Confirm the specifications. - Give careful consideration to operating conditions such as the application, fluid and environment, and use the product within the operating ranges specified in this catalog. - The product is provided for physical, chemical and industrial equipment. 2.

4. Air Supply Warning 1. Use clean air. Do not use compressed air that includes chemicals, synthetic oils containing organic solvents, salinities or corrosive gases, etc., as it can cause damage or malfunction. 2. Pay attention to avoid freezing when operating the product in low temperatures. The equipment operates while expanding the compressed air.

7. Caution on Handling Caution 1. Do not lubricate the air operated type. Warning 1. Test before using with the actual equipment. Test the pump before using it with the actual equipment. Even if there is no problem in a short-term test, the liquid may penetrate through the fluoropolymer diaphragm causing malfunction in the pump air circuit.

3) Viscosity Characteristics (Flow rate correction for viscous fluids) Selection from Viscosity Characteristic Graph Required specification example: Find the pilot air pressure for a discharge rate of 2.7 L/min, discharge pressure of 0.25 MPa and a viscosity of 100 mPa·s. Selection procedures: 1.
Working Principle Air supply port (AIR SUP) 5 port solenoid valves Discharge port (FLUID OUT) Pump chamber A Pump chamber B Check valve Shaft Suction port (FLUID IN) Diaphragm A Diaphragm B Drive chamber A Drive chamber B 1. When air is supplied to P1 port, it enters drive chamber A. 2.
Piping and Operation Caution Maintain the proper tightening torque for fittings and mounting bolts, etc. Looseness can cause problems such as fluid and air leaks, while over tightening can cause damage to threads and parts, etc. Starting and Stopping Refer to circuit example Note 1) 1.
