Specific Product Precautions Caution on Design Operating Environment Warning Warning 1. Note the weight of the stainless steel products. 1.Fully consider the compatibility of stainless steel. Since the weight of stainless steel cylinders is approximately 1.5 The corrosion resistance of stainless steel is not effective against to 3 times heavier than the standard products (with aluminum all media and corrosive environments.

Specific Product Precautions Maintenance Warning 1.If this cylinder is lubricated, it may cause malfunctions. If grease other than designated is used, it may also cause malfunctions. • Order with the following part number when only the grease for maintenance is needed. Grease pack part number for stainless steel cylinders Grease for food processing machines: GR-R-010 (10 g) 2.
1. Specifications 1-1 Specifications Fluid Proof pressure 1.5MPa Max. operating pressure 1.0MPa Min. operating pressure 0.05MPa Ambient and fluid -10 to +70 C. -10 to +60 C with built-in magnet temperature (No freezing) Not required (non-lube) Lubrication +1.4 1 to 1000st Stroke length tolerance +1.8 1001 to 1500st...
2. Installation and Handling 2-1. Air supply The compressed air supplied to the cylinder should be filtered by SMC AF series air filter and regulated to the specified set pressure by SMC AR series regulator. ! Warning 1.Use clean air. Do not use compressed air which contains chemicals, synthetic oils containing organic solvents, salts or corrosive gases, etc., as this can cause cylinder damage or malfunction.
2-2. Design The compatibility of the product is the responsibility of the person who designs the equipment or decides its specifications. ! Warning 1.There is a possibility of dangerous sudden action by air cylinders if sliding parts of machinery are twisted due to external forces, etc. In such cases, injury may occur, such as hands or feet getting caught in the machinery, or damage to the machinery itself may occur.
13. Refer to the Auto Switches Precautions for using with an auto switch. 14.When a cylinder is used in a clamping, suspending, or lifting mechanism There is a danger of workpieces dropping if there is a decrease of thrust due to a drop in circuit pressure caused by a power outage, etc.

! Caution 1.Do not apply excessive lateral load to the piston rod. The bold solid lines in Fig. 1 show the allowable lateral load on the cylinder for a certain stroke length. Refer to Table 2 Maximum Allowable Kinetic Energy. ( Page 14 ) Bushing ( bearing ) Cylinder stroke[mm]...
4.When an external guide is used, connect the piston rod end and the load in such a way that there is no interference at any point within the stroke. 5.Refer to the torque in Table-1 when tightening the foot, flange and Plug bolt to the cylinder.
Page 13
! Caution 1.Internal lubricant or the base oil of grease may seep out of the cylinder depending on the operating conditions. Take great care when a clean environment is required. 2.Preparation before piping Before piping, perform air blow ( flushing ) or cleaning to remove any cutting chips, cutting oil, dust, etc.
2-5. Speed control When the piston speed is adjusted, install SMC AS series speed controller near the air supply port to adjust to the specified speed. There are two methods of speed adjustment, one is to restrict air supplied to the product ( meter-in ), and the other is to restrict air exhausted from the product ( meter-out ).
2-6-3. Allowable kinetic energy The applied kinetic energy must be within the allowable value when an inertial load is actuated. Please refer to "Fig.1 Allowable lateral load applied to rod end ". ( Page 10) Table 2 Allowable kinetic energy Formula E= ( m/ 2 )×v Bore size( mm )
2-8. Auto switches When an auto switch is mounted or its set position is changed, refer to Fig. 3. ! Caution 1.Use a specific mounting bracket ( Table 3 ) and mount the product so that the band of the bracket will be perpendicular to the stroke of the product. 2.Tighten mounting screws to the appropriate torque.
3. Maintenance 3-1. Checks The following checks are required for proper cylinder operation. 1. Smooth operation 2. Changes in piston speed and cycle time 3. Abnormal stroke 4. Looseness of mounting bolt and rod end nuts 5. Looseness of mounting frame and excessive deflection 6.
3-2. Replacement of seals It is possible to replace the rod seal and piston seal for ø20 to ø40. Replacement of the rod seal may be difficult when the scraper remains attached since it has to be removed and inserted through the inside diameter area of the scraper. !...
Page 19
3-2-2. Removal of seals 1. Rod seal Insert a precision screwdriver from the front of the rod cover to pull out the seal as shown in Fig. 4. ! Caution 1)Take care not to damage the seal groove of the cover at this time. 2) When the water-resistant scraper is worn out, replace the entire rod cover assembly.

3-2-3. Grease ! Caution ・Use SMC’s recommended grease. Grease pack part number: GR-R-010 ( 10g ) 1. Rod seal Apply a thin layer of grease to all surfaces of the new seal to make it easy to mount the rod seal and improve sealing. Fill the groove of the seal with grease, which is necessary for operation.
Page 21
3-2-4. Mounting of seals 1. Rod seal ( Fig.8 ) Pay attention to the mounting direction of the seal. Apply grease to the scraper and the inner circumference of the rod seal as shown in Fig. 2. Piston seal ( Fig. 9 ) Mount with care not to twist the piston seal.

3-4. Troubleshooting Problem Major causes Countermeasures 1. Lubrication failure - Apply the specified grease after cleaning of parts Operation has ( Grease pack: GR-R-010 ( 10g ) ) lost smoothness. 2. Deformation of - Replace the cylinder with a new one. piston rod When reinstalling the product, adjust the load and mounting position.

Problem Major causes Countermeasures 1. Operation at high - Replace the cylinder with a new one. The piston rod speed Operation at a high speed can cause impact from the load, has been and deform and damage the product. Keep within the deformed and specified piston speed and allowable kinetic energy.
4. Basic Circuit for Cylinder Operation The basic circuit for operating the product with air filter, regulator, solenoid valve and speed controller ( meter-out ) is shown in the following figure. Air Cylinder Speed controller Solenoid Regulator Air source Air filter Fig.
