SMC Networks VBAE10- 02 Series Operation Manual page 8

● The booster regulator has a sliding part inside, and it generates dust. Also,
install an air purification device such as an air filter or a mist separator
on the outlet side as necessary.
● Connect a lubricator to the outlet side, because the accumulated oil in the
booster regulator may result in a malfunction.
● Pay attention to the max. operating pressure range and operate within these
specifications of peripheral equipment.
2. Counting the operating cycle
● When counting the operating cycles using an auto switch, use an instrument
with a counting speed of 1 kHz or more.
3. Maintenance space
● Allow the sufficient space for maintenance and inspection.
Caution
!
1. Check the specifications
● Consider the operating conditions and operate this product within the
specification range that is described in this catalog.
2. Selection
● When selecting the size of a booster regulator, check the appropriate size
via the selection procedures shown in the catalog and the selection program on
our website based on the conditions required at the booster regulator outlet
side (such as pressure, flow rate, and cycle time).
● When operating the booster regulator continuously for longer periods of time,
particularly confirm its service life.
● The service life of the booster regulator depends on not the operation hours
but the operating cycles (piston sliding distance). The operating cycles
(piston sliding distance) depend on the outlet air flow rate of the booster
regulator. Thus, when more outlet air flow rate of the booster regulator is
used, its service life becomes shorter. Selecting a booster regulator of a
larger size will result in reduced operation frequency, thus increasing the
service life of the product.
