Speed and Cushion Adjustment
Warning
(1) To make a speed adjustment, gradually adjust starting from the low speed end.
If the speed adjustment is performed from the high speed end, it could damage the product.
As a result, it could pose a hazard to humans and damage the machinery and equipment.
For products with shock absorbers, when the shock absorber stops moving before reaching
the stroke end by using a stopper mechanism with the objective of shortening tact time, be
sure the shock absorber is stopped in a position where it has adequately absorbed the
kinetic energy.
Failure to do so can result in damage to equipment.
Lubrication
Warning
(1) This product should be used without lubrication. Although it will operate even if it is
lubricated, it could lead to sticking or slipping.
Air Supply
Warning
(1) Type of fluids
Use compressed air.
(2) When there is a large amount of moisture
Compressed air containing a large amount of moisture can cause malfunction of pneumatic
equipment. An air dryer or water separator should be installed upstream from filters.
(3) Drain flushing
If condensation in the drain bowl is not emptied on a regular basis, the bowl will overflow and allow
the condensation to enter the compressed air lines. This may cause malfunction of pneumatic
equipment.
If the drain bowl is difficult to check and remove, installation of a drain bowl with an auto drain option
is recommended.
(4) Use clean air.
Do not use compressed air that contains chemicals, synthetic oils that include organic solvents, salt,
corrosive gases, etc., as it can cause damage or malfunction.
Caution
(1) When low dew point air 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.Install an air filter.
(2) Install an air filter.
Install an air filter upstream near the valve. Select an air filter with a filtration size of 5μm or smaller.
