Factory Air
Pneumatic Connections to Actuator ae/aed/aef
Air connection to the actuator is made to the AIR INLET connector on the top rear of the actuator,
with plastic pneumatic tubing. For installations using actuator-alone assemblies, you must provide
an air filter assembly* which will support to at least 100 psig and remove particulate matter of 5
microns or larger.

NOTE
*aef actuators require clean, dry input air at 100 psi filtered to 5 microns. The factory air will
be further filtered to an operational level of 0.3 microns through the Pneumatic Air Package
(PAP) located in the aef actuator housing or located remotely for operation of the actuator
other than in a vertical position.
Pneumatic Connections to Actuator ao/aod/rp
For installations using actuator-alone assemblies, you must provide an air filter assembly which
will support at least to 100 psig and remove particulate matter of 5 microns or larger. Primary air
connection to the actuator is made to the air inlet found on the rp box. Three 1/4" OD tubing con-
nections are required between the rp box and the actuator. Match label connections for the cylin-
der top, cylinder bottom, and cooling air line connections. If the rp box is not being used, all three
air connections are still required installation Steps
WARNING
Moving parts can crush and pinch. Keep hands clear while operating.
CAUTION
If a stand is not mounted in a vertical position, the air filter (on the column support) must be
removed, reoriented, and replumbed. Failure to do so can cause air filter failure.
Mounting the Stand (Actuator on Base)
The base must be bolted to your workbench to prevent tipping or undesired movement. Four
mounting bolt holes are provided at the corners of the casting, and will accept your 3/8 inch or M10
cap screws. Use flat washers against the metal casting to prevent gouging.
CAUTION
!
Secure the base to your work surface using four bolts. Unit may tip over if actuator is rotated
around the column.
1.
Ensure there are no overhead obstructions and that no pinch or rub points exist. Remember that
the actuator is taller than the column when fully raised, and there are exposed connections.
