付表 3A Safety Instructions These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard with the labels of “Caution,” “Warning” or “Danger.” They are all important notes for safety and must be followed in addition to International Standards (ISO/IEC) , and other safety regulations.
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.

1.Installation to Application The rodless cylinder presented in this manual can operate the load directly mounted on it without other axes in a range of allowable mounted load, moment and stroke if it is equipped with the switch rail. (Table1,2) (P8,9) However, without the switch rail, the load needs to be guided by other axes (LM guide etc.) to prevent rotation of external slider and direct application of the load over the allowable range.

1-2) Installation of external slider and load Same as installation of the cylinder body, there are two ways to install the external slider and load in a range of allowable mounted load, moment and stroke. (Ⅰ) With other axes combined (Ⅱ) Without other axes combined (Switch rail is used as non-rotation device.) (Ⅰ) With other axes combined...

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.

Wrong example Correct example Guide by linear guide Load Direct fix Load Guide shaft The load is supported by guide shaft and the Since the cylinder is subject to direct moment of clearance is provided to compensate misalignment. load, guide shaft can work as only non-rotation The bracket is longer than center of axis of cylinder and operating failure may be caused.

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 min. pressure which enables smooth operation of cylinder over full stroke. Adjust to minimize this increase.

2.Actuating force and moment 2-1) Actuating force The actuating force of rodless cylinder is ideally equal to thrust at center of axis of piston but normally, as shown on Fig. 7-1, it is taken as FnN at the part away from the center Load by Locm.
2-2) Moment at stroke end 3.Vertical Operation If the rodless cylinder is used for the load If the cylinder is operated in vertical direction, with large inertia, the following operating consider the same points as section 2. failures may be caused at stroke end. As shown on Fig.
4.Intermediate Stop 4-1) Consider the following point to stop the load on the way of stroke by external stopper etc. a) Operating pressure Table 4 Operating pressure Keep operating pressure below the limit limit for intermediate stop shown on Table 4. The operation at higher pressure may cause thrust over holding Cylinder Operating...

5.Operating Air and Piping 6-1) If the cylinder body or piston is removed 5-1) Install air filter. from cylinder tube, displace the positions The rodless cylinder is non-lubrication type. Install air filter to upstream near the valve and of external slider and piston forcedly to adjust pneumatic pressure decreased to eliminate holding force and take out them desired set pressure by regulator.

7.Other Cautions for Operation 7-1) Some of internal components of cylinder is made of iron. Protect them from direct splash of water etc. If such a situation can’t be avoided, contact SMC separately. 7-2) Before piping, perform flashing inside the piping to prevent intrusion of dust and cutting chip inside the cylinder.
