SM-482241-A/2 2. INSTALLATION 2. INSTALLATION 2.1 Environment • Use the product within the following ambient temperature ranges: −10°C to 60°C (no freezing) JSC4-N (standard type) JSC4-H (low hydraulic type) 5°C to 50°C JSC4-T (heat-resistant type) 5°C to 120°C • When using the product in a dusty environment, use a cylinder equipped with bellows. •...
• When the cylinder is secured and the rod end guide is used, connect the rod end guide with a free joint (spherical bearing) manufactured by CKD to align the centers of the cylinder piston rod and the load. If the centers are not aligned, bushings and packings of the cylinder may become worn.
SM-482241-A/2 2. INSTALLATION 2.3.1 Mounting the switch Mounting position <Mounting the switch at the end of the stroke> For the switch to function at maximum sensitivity, mount the switch so that its end face is in contact with either the rod cover or the head cover. In addition, mount the switch in the direction as shown in the figure below so that the lead wire is inside.

SM-482241-A/2 2. INSTALLATION 2.4 Piping 2.4.1 Basic circuit Observe the following basic matters and set up a circuit by referring to the figures shown below to operate the product properly. • While the cylinder is stopped, make sure that both ends are pressurized (to prevent the piston rod from popping out when the cylinder starts moving).
SM-482241-A/2 2. INSTALLATION 2.4.2 Piping • Use pipes that are made of corrosion-resistant materials after the filter such as zinc-plated pipes, nylon tubes, and rubber tubes. • Use pipes with an effective cross-sectional area that allows the cylinder to achieve the predetermined piston speed.
SM-482241-A/2 2. INSTALLATION 2.5 Wiring 2.5.1 Electric control circuit Since the control device and the circuit to be used affect the stopping accuracy, observe the following instructions: • Use a device with excellent accuracy that has a control circuit with short response time. •...
SM-482241-A/2 2. INSTALLATION 2.5.2 Reed switch Connection of lead wires Do not connect the lead wire of the switch to the power directly. Make sure that the lead wire and the load are connected in serial. For T0 and T8 switches, observe the following instructions as well: •...
SM-482241-A/2 2. INSTALLATION Contact capacity Do not use a load that exceeds the maximum contact capacity of the switch. If the current falls below the rated current value, the indicator may not light up. Relay Use one of the following or equivalent relays: •...

SM-482241-A/2 2. INSTALLATION Parallel connection Since the leakage current of a 2-wire type switch increases according to the number of connected units, check the input specifications of the programmable controller, which is a connected load, to determine the number of switches to connect. For the 2-wire type switch, the indicator may become dim or not light up. Although the leakage current of a 3-wire type switch increases according to the number of connected units, the leakage current is very small (10 μA or less) and can generally be ignored.
SM-482241-A/2 3. USAGE 3. USAGE CAUTION Do not enter or put your hand in the operating area of the actuator when it is operating. 3.1 Using the Cylinder Working pressure range Use the cylinder within the following pressure range: Model Brake pressure range Cylinder pressure range...
SM-482241-A/2 3. USAGE 3.2 Using the Switch Magnetic environment Do not use the switch in a place where there is a strong magnetic field or large current (such as a large magnet or welding machine). If switch mounted cylinders are installed close to each other and in parallel or if magnetic substances are moving close to the cylinder, the magnetic forces may interfere with each other and affect the detection accuracy.
