Mounting - SMC Networks C96N C Series Operation Manual

2-3. Mounting

The foot mounting cylinder has a hole in the foot to drive a pin into for accurate positioning and fixing.

・Do not apply excessive lateral load to the piston rod.
Please refer to Chart 9. Allowable lateral load applied to rod end. (Page 8)

・Make sure to release the lock before connecting the load to the rod end.
a. If the load is connected to the rod end during the locked state there is a risk that the rotating force caused
by the load will exceed the holding force on the piston rod, breaking the lock mechanism.
b. When connecting the rod end and load, connect piping to the lock release port to supply air pressure of
0.3MPa or more, or release the lock using the release bolt (Page 17).

・Do not apply eccentric load to the piston rod.
Alignment of the center of gravity of the load and the center of the cylinder is necessary. When there is a large amount
of misalignment, eccentric wear or damage of the piston rod can result due to the moment of inertia caused by the
stopping impact when locking.
× Misalignment of the center of gravity of the load and the shaft center of the cylinder.
○Center of gravity of the load and the shaft center of the cylinder are aligned
Note) Also applicable when the generated moment is absorbed by an effective guide.
・Do not scratch or dent the sliding parts of the piston rod.
Damage to the seals may lead to air leakage and locking failure.
・Do not apply loads with impact, strong vibration or rotational force while
the lock mechanism is activated.
External impact load, strong vibration or rotating force may break or reduce the life of lock part.
・Prevent seizure of the rotating parts of mounting bracket.
Prevent the seizure of rotating parts (pins, etc.) of mounting brackets by applying grease.
・Do not use the product until you have verified that the equipment can operate properly.
After installation or repair, apply compressed air and power supplies to the equipment and perform
appropriate functional and leakage inspections to make sure the equipment is mounted properly.
・When the support brackets are replaced, use a hexagon wrench as specified below.
