Piping; Operating Environment; Lubrication - SMC Networks MHZ2-6C-M9PLS Operation Manual

！
Caution
1. When extremely dry air is used as the fluid, degradation of the lubrication properties
inside the equipment may occur, resulting in reduced reliability (or reduced service
life) of the equipment. Please consult with SMC .
2. Install an air filter.
Install an air filter upstream near the valve. A filtration degree of 5μm or less should
be selected.
3. Install an aftercooler, air dryer or drain catch before the filter and take appropriate
measures.
Compressed air that contains excessive foreign material may cause malfunction of
valves and other pneumatic equipment.
Install an aftercooler, air dryer or drain catch before the filter and take appropriate
measures.
4. Use the product within the specified fluid and ambient temperature range.
When operating at temperatures 5
cause breakage of seals or malfunction. Measures should be taken to prevent freezing.
For detailed information regarding the quality of the compressed air described above,
refer to SMC's "Air Cleaning Systems".

2-5. Piping

！
Caution
1. Refer to the Fittings and Tubing Precautions (Best Pneumatics) for handling one touch
fittings.
2. Before piping
Before piping is connected, flush thoroughly with air or wash to remove chips, cutting oil
and other debris from inside the pipe.

2-6. Operating environment

！
Warning
1. Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water or
steam are present.
Refer to the construction drawings regarding the air chuck materials.
2. Do not use in direct sunlight.
3. Do not operate in a location subject to vibration or impact.
4. Do not mount the product in locations where it is exposed to radiant heat.
5. Do not use this product in an area that is dusty, or in an environment in which water or
oil splashes on the cylinder.

2-7. Lubrication

！
Caution
1. The non-lube type air gripper is lubricated at the factory, and can be used without any
further lubrication.
If a lubricant is used in the system, use turbine oil Class 1 (with no additive) ISO VG32.
Furthermore, once lubrication is applied, it must be continued.
If lubrication is later stopped, malfunction can occur due to loss of the original lubricant.
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the hydraulic fluid when supplying
the fluid.
