Warning 1. The compatibility of the product is the responsibility of the person who designs the equipment or decides its specifications. Since the product specified here is used under various operating conditions, its compatibility with specific equipment must be decided by the person who designs the equipment or decides its specifications based on necessary analysis and test results.
Limited warranty and Disclaimer / Compliance Requirements The product used is subject to the following “Limited warranty and Disclaimer” and “Compliance Requirements”. Read and accept them before using the product. Limited warranty and Disclaimer 1. The warranty period of the product is 1 year in service or 1.5 years after the product is delivered, whichever is first.
Design / Selection Warning (1) Confirm the specifications. Products represented in this catalog 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.

Precautions when Converting Rotational Motion to Linear Motion When using a link mechanism, etc., to convert rotational motion to linear motion, and determining the operation end using the stopper on the linear motion end (see below), a small value for θ at the operation end may result in the torque of the rotary actuator causing excessive radial load to act on the output axle, and equipment breakage may occur.

Piping Caution (1) Refer to the Fittings and Tubing Precautions (Best Pneumatics No.6) for handling one touch fittings. (2) Preparation before piping Before piping is connected, it should be thoroughly blown out with air (flushing) or washed to remove chips, cutting oil and other debris from inside the pipe.
Air Supply Warning (1) Type of fluids Please consult with SMC when using the product in applications other than compressed air. (2) When there is a large amount of moisture Compressed air containing a large amount of moisture can cause malfunction of pneumatic equipment. An air dryer or water separator should be installed upstream from filters.
Maintenance Warning (1) Perform maintenance inspection according to the procedures indicated in the operation manual. If handled improperly, malfunction and damage of machinery or equipment may occur. (2) Maintenance work If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous. Assembly, handling, repair and element replacement of pneumatic systems should be performed by a knowledgeable and experienced person.

Auto Switches Precautions Design / Selection Warning (1) Confirm the specifications. Read the specifications carefully and use this product appropriately. The product may be damaged or malfunction if it is used outside the range of specifications of current load, voltage, temperature or impact. We do not guarantee against any damage if the product is used outside of the specification range.
Page 14
(3) Do not use a load that generates surge voltage. If a surge voltage is generated, discharge may be generated at the contact, possibly reducing the product life. If driving a load such as a relay that generates a surge voltage. <Reed>...
Mounting / Adjustment Caution (1) Do not drop or bump. Do not drop, bump or apply excessive impacts (300m/s or more for reed auto switches and 1000m/s or more for solid state auto switches) while handling. Although the body of the auto switch may not be damaged, the inside of the auto switch could be damaged and cause malfunction.
(6) Avoid incorrect wiring. <Reed> A 24 VDC auto switch with indicator light has polarity. The brown lead wire or terminal No.1 is (+), and the blue lead wire or terminal No.2 is (-). 1) If connections are reversed, the auto switch will operate, however, the LED will not light up. Also, take note that a current greater than that specified will damage the LED and it will no longer operate.
Page 17
(3) Do not use in an environment with oil or chemicals. Please consult with SMC if auto switches will be used in an environment with coolant, cleaning solvent, various oils or chemicals. If auto switches are used under these conditions for even a short time, they may be adversely affected by improper insulation, malfunction due to swelling of the potting resin, or hardening of the lead wires.

Figure 1 3-2.Preferred Components Table 1 shows preferred components of solenoid valve, speed controller and tubing used In the basic circuit as Figure 1.
4. Installation 4-1.Air Supply Caution ① Filter and regulate air supplied to Rotary Actuator by using SMC Air Filter and Regulator (Series AR). ② Do not apply lubricant since this is non-lube type. Internal grease will be flowed out by lubrication so that normal operation will not be obtained. ③...

4-5.Operating Environment Caution ① Do not use the product in atmospheres or places where there is a danger of corrosion. Refer to “internal” Construction and Description lf Individual Parts” (pages 3 and 4) for materials used for Rotary Actuator. ② Do not use the product in dusty places or where water and oil drops splash on. ③...
5. How To Set Rotation Time Due to inertia of the load, even a small torque generated by Rotary Actuator may cause damage to the shaft and internal parts. Therefore, consider the inertia of the load and kinetic energy to set rotarion time.

Graph 1 How To Read Graph 1. Example 1) When CRB2BW40 is used in conditions of moment of inertia of load kg・m inertia of load: 9.5x10 and rotation time: 0.12 sec/90°. kg.m Since the intersection of 9.5x10 on the vertical axis and 0.12 seconds on the horizontal axis is below the energy curve, CRB2BW40 is applicable.

5-3.External Stopper When kinetic energy generated by load exceeds allowable energy of Actuator, use external buffer mechanism to absorb inertia force. The figure below shows correct installation of external stopper. ※Rotary Actuator itself has a slight angular error due to the construction, use external stopper when accurate positioning is required.
6. Maintenance and Check ● Be sure to install Air Filter to clean supply air. ● Do not disassemble the actuator. When disassembling it for unavoidable reason, follow the procedures below while preventing dust and/or foreign matter from entering. [Since increase in internal leakage causes malfunction in most cases, recheck speed controller. It is recommended to use stable speed adjusting range (refer to “Speed Adjusting Range”...
