Design / Mounting
Warning
(1) Operation manual
Install the product and operate it only after reading the operation manual carefully and understanding
its contents. Also, keep the manual in a location where it can be referred to as necessary.
(2) Ensure sufficient space for maintenance activities.
When installing the products, allow access for maintenance.
(3) Tighten threads with the proper tightening torque.
When installing the products, follow the listed torque specifications.
(4) Before adjusting the angle by supplying air pressure, take appropriate measures to prevent
the equipment from rotating unnecessarily.
When an adjustment is performed under air pressure, the equipment could rotate and fall during the
adjustment, depending on the mounted posture of the equipment. As a result, it could pose a hazard
to humans and damage the machinery and equipment.
(5) Do not loosen the angle adjustment screw beyond the allowable adjustment range.
The angle adjustment screw could fall out if it is loosened beyond its allowable adjustment range and
cause a hazard to humans or damage to machinery and equipment.
(6) Do not place a magnetic object near the product.
The auto switch is a magnetic sensing type. If a magnetic object is placed close to it, the rotary
actuator could operate suddenly, which could pose a hazard to humans and damage the machinery
and equipment.
(7) Do not perform additional machining to the product.
Additional machining to the product can result in insufficient strength and cause damage to the
product.
This can lead to possible human injury and damage to the surrounding equipment.
(8) Do not enlarge the fixed throttle by modifying the pipe connectors.
If the hole diameter is enlarged, the product's rotation speed will increase, causing the shock force to
increase and damage to the product. As a result, it could pose a hazard to humans and damage the
machinery and equipment.
(9) If shaft couplings are to be used, use those with angular freedom.
If shaft couplings that lack angular freedom are used, they could scrape due to eccentricity, leading to
equipment malfunction and product damage. As a result, it could pose a hazard to humans and
damage the machinery and equipment.
(10) Do not apply a load that exceeds the values given in the catalog.
If a load that exceeds the allowable value is applied to the product, it could lead to equipment
malfunction, a hazard to humans, or damage to the machinery and equipment. Provided that a
dynamic load is not generated, a load that is within the allowable radial / thrust load can be applied.
However, applications in which the load is applied directly to the shaft should be avoided whenever
possible. The methods such as those described below are recommended to prevent the load from
being applied directly to the shaft in order to ensure a proper operating condition.
(11) Place an external stopper in a position away from the rotating shaft.
If the stopper is placed near the rotating shaft, the torque that is generated by the product itself will
cause the reaction force which is directed to the stopper to be redirected and applied to the rotating
shaft. This will lead to the breakage of the rotating shaft and bearing. As a result, it could pose a
hazard to humans and damage the machinery and equipment.
