    付表 3A 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.
  • Page 5 1.Installation to Application The Sine rodless cylinder (REA series) presented in this manual is not equipped with non-rotation device and allows external slider to rotate. Also, the rod less cylinder can’t resist direct large load and needs another axis (LM guide etc.) as a guide to support the load.
  • Page 6 1-2) Installation of external slider and load Consider the following two points for mounting of external slider and load. Ⅰ-a) The cylinder is deflected by self-weight as shown on Fig. 2. This means longer stroke produces larger displacement of alignment. 図2.ロッドレスシリンダの自重たわみ...
  • Page 7 Ⅰ-b) The misalignment between cylinder body and guide (orbit) may be caused depending on machining accuracy of the space for mounting. Therefore, the installation must be performed to compensate the misalignment. The following two show the example with or without concern about misalignment respectively.

  • Page 9 Wrong example Correct example Center of axis Guide by LM guide Guide shaft Bracket Cylinder body Load Load Since the cylinder is subject to direct moment of The load is supported by guide shaft and the load, guide shaft can work as only non-rotation clearance is provided to compensate misalignment.
  • Page 10 The misalignment can be checked by the following procedure. 1) After installation of cylinder to application, increase pressure of regulator gradually before checking operation of cylinder at operating pressure, and then calculate Adjust to minimize this increase min. pressure which enables smooth operation of cylinder over full stroke.
  • Page 11 1-3) Speed adjustment ①SMC‘s “throttle” type speed controllers (series AS) are recommended for speed adjustment. (Refer to Table.1) ②Speed adjustment is possible with meter-in/meter-out type speed controllers, but it may not be possible to obtain the cushion effect (Smooth start-up, soft-stop). ③In the case of other than horizontal mounting, it is recommended that the system have a reduced pressure supply circuit (Refer to Fig.5) installed at its lower side.

    2.Model Selection 2-1) Select the model according to the selection flow chart below. (Refer to p.12 for (Refer to P.12 for vertical operation.) (Refer to P.11 for date A.) (Refer to P.12 for date B.) (Refer to P.15)...
  • Page 13 2-2) Actuating force The actuating force of sine rodless cylinder is ideally equal to thrust at center of axis of piston but normally, as shown on Fig.6-1, it is taken as FnN at the part away Recommended from the center by Lo cm. actuating force The relationship between Lo and Fn can be figured from Fig.
  • Page 14: Vertical Operation

    2-3) Relation between Maximum speed and load weight Maximum operating speed limits the load weight. Applied load weight shall be suitable for maximum operating speed or lower than that. Fig.7 2-4) Maximum weight of the connect bracket to the body REA (basic type) is not directly connected to the load, and is guided by another shaft (LM guide etc.).
  • Page 15: Intermediate Stop

    4.Intermediate stop 4-1) The cushion effect (smooth start-up, soft stop) exists only before the stroke end in the stroke ranges indicated in the table below. The cushion effect (smooth start-up, soft stop) can not be obtained in an intermediated stop or a return from an intermediate stop using an external stopper,etc.
  • Page 16 5.Operating air and piping 5-1) Install air filter The rodless cylinder is non-lubrication type. Install air filter toupstream near the valve and Adjust pneumatic pressure decreased to desired set pressure by regulator. 5-2) Lubrication to compressed air The rodless cylinder can be operated only by initial lubrication at shipment. But if the lubrication Needs to be added due to specifications, use Turbin oil class 1 (no additive) ISO VG32.
  • Page 17 7.Other Cautions for Operation 7-1) Environment a)The piston slider has iron part inside. Keep the cylinder tube away from the water. b)Do not use in atmosphere or place where might corrode the cylinder. c)Protect the cylinder with cover where it is exposed to dust and particle, drop of water/oil. Consult SMC if the cylinder is operated in place like that.
