FP Series: Warnings and Cautions
Be sure to read this section before use.
Refer to "Pneumatic Cylinders I (CB-029SA)", "Pneumatic Cylinders II (CB-030SA)",
"Pneumatic Valves (CB-023SA)", "Pneumatic, Vacuum, and Auxiliary Components (CB-
024SA)", and "Fluid Control Valves (CB-03-1SA)" for general and product-specific precautions.
Although the above general catalog states that products are not applicable for equipment or
applications with direct contact with beverages/foodstuffs, the FP2 Series products can be
used in such applications as long as they are within the range of the product specifications.
CAUTION
"Food Sanitation Act compliant" refers to products
with materials (resin, rubber) conforming to the
compliant of the Food Sanitation Act.
Use after confirming the structure and material,
valve structure, working fluids, and working
atmospheres of each component carefully yourself.
Depending on the model, internal parts may wear

necessary measures such as installing a filter on

Design/selection
If the fluid is water or water drops remain inside, rust may
be generated and flow to the secondary side depending
on the model. Take necessary measures in that case.
Bearings used in cylinders contain trace amounts
of mineral oil. Within the product specifications
range, it is processed so as not to discharge, but
please carefully consider the installation location.
The protection structure and material (except lubricant)
of the 4G-FP1 Series are the same as those of
standard products. Therefore, leakage or corrosion
may occur in an environment with a high temperature
and humidity or where the product is exposed to
water. Select installation locations with care.
When using the product
If the product has been out of use for one month or more,
perform a test run before starting the actual operation.
When hot fluid flows during steam sterilization, the
valve body becomes hot, so do not touch with your
hand or body. There is a risk of burns if these coils
are touched directly.
