Lubrication of non-lubricating cylinder
The product is a non-lube type and should be used without lubrication. If it is necessary to
lubricate, install the lubricator in the circuit and use Class 1 turbine oil (with no additive) ISO
VG32. Once lubricant is used in the system, lubrication must be continued because the original
lubricant applied during manufacturing will be washed away.
2-2. Design
The compatibility of the product is the responsibility of the person who designs the equipment
or decides its specifications.

1.There is a possibility of dangerous sudden action by air cylinders if sliding
parts of machinery are twisted due to external forces, etc.
In such cases, injury may occur, such as hands or feet getting caught in the machinery, or
damage to the machinery itself may occur. Design the machinery to avoid such dangers.
2.A protective cover is recommended to minimize the risk of personal injury.
If the moving portion of the product will pose a hazard to humans or will damage machinery or
equipment, provide a construction that prevents direct contact with those areas.
3.Securely tighten all stationary parts and connected parts so that they will
not become loose.
Do not use the product where operation frequency is high or the product is exposed to
vibration.
4.Design the system so that it will not apply an external force over the
maximum force to the product.
The product can break, causing a risk of injury or damage to equipment.
5.The product generates a large force. Install on a sufficiently rigid mounting
base, taking this force into consideration.
There is a risk of injury or damage to equipment.
6.Consider the possibility of a reduction in the circuit air pressure caused by
a power failure.
When a cylinder is used in a clamping mechanism, the work piece may come off due to a
decrease in clamping force because of a decrease in the circuit pressure caused by a power
failure, etc. Therefore, safety equipment should be installed to prevent damage to machinery
and injury. Suspension equipment and lifting devices also require measures to prevent
dropping.
7.Consider a possible loss of power source.
Measures should be taken to prevent injury and equipment damage in the event that there is a
loss of power to equipment controlled by air pressure, electricity or hydraulics, etc.
8.Consider the behavior of the rotary actuator in the event of an emergency
stop.
Devise a safety system so that if a person engages the emergency stop, or if a safety device is
tripped during a system malfunction such as a power outage, the movement of the cylinder will
not cause a hazard to humans or damage the equipment.
9.Consider the action when operation is restarted after an emergency stop or
abnormal stop.
Design the machinery so that injury or equipment damage will not occur upon restart of
operation. When the cylinder has to be reset at the starting position, install manual safety
equipment.
10.Intermediate stop
It is difficult for this product to make a piston stop at the required intermediate position
accurately and precisely using a 3 position closed center type directional control valve, due to
the compressibility of air. Furthermore, since valves and cylinders are not guaranteed for zero
air leakage, it may not be possible to hold a stopped position for extended periods of time.
