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.
If the operation without supply of additional lubrication is required again, the cylinder needs to be
sent to SMC factory to enable re-application of adequate amount of lubrication (grease).
6.Disassembly and Maintenance
Pay attention in the following points when the cylinder is disassembled for replacement of piston
packing, soft wiper and wearing.
6-1) If the cylinder body or piston is removed from cylinder tube, displace the positions of
external slider and piston forcedly to eliminate holding force and take out them individually.
If they are removed together with holding force left, they become unable to separate from each
other by internal and external magnet force.
6-2) The used magnet has strong suction force and should be handled with care when external
slider and piston slider are removed from cylinder tube.
6-3) Never disassembly the parts which compose the magnet (external slider and piston slider).
The disassembly of them may deprive holding force from the magnet and cause operating failure.
6-4) Take off the watch for handling of external slider and piston slider.
6-5) Handle external slider and piston slider with care to protect the magnet from drop on the floor and
collision to the metal. And apply the grease periodically on external face of cylinder tube.
The grease can be ordered by the following part no.
<φ6, φ10>
1) Inner side of cylinder tube
GR-S-*
2) Outer side of cylinder tube and sliding of switch rail
GR-F-*
<φ15~φ63>
GR-S-*
Note)This grease is used for inner and outer side of cylinder tube.
