1.Installation to Application The rodless cylinder 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. 1-1) Installation of cylinder body Before installation of cylinder body, be sure to fix head covers at its both ends.

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. Fig.
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.

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.

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. 5-1, it is taken as FnN at the part away from the Recommended center by Lo cm.
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 2 Operating pressure limit Keep operating pressure below the limit for intermediate stop shown on Table 2. The operation at higher pressure may cause thrust over holding Cylinder Operating...

5.Operating Air and Piping 5-1) Install air filter. The rodless cylinder is non-lubrication type. Install air filter to upstream 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.

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.
