Safety Instructions These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard with the labels of “Caution,” “Warning” or “Danger.” They are all important notes for safety and must be followed in addition to International Standards (ISO/IEC) , and other safety regulations.
Safety Instructions Caution SMC develops, designs, and manufactures products to be used for automatic control equipment, and provides them for peaceful use in manufacturing industries. Use in non-manufacturing industries is not allowed. Products SMC manufactures and sells cannot be used for the purpose of transactions or certification specified in the Measurement Act of each country.
1.Confirm the specifications. The product is designed only for use in industrial compressed air systems. Do not operate at pressures, temperatures or kinetic energy beyond the range of specifications, as this can cause damage to cylinder or malfunction. (Refer to the specifications.) 2.There may be cases in which a speed-reduction circuit or a shock absorber is required.
6.Lubricating non-lube type cylinders [Standard grease (non-food)] This unit can be operated without lubrication. If lubrication is performed, build in the lubricator in the circuit, use turbine oil Class 1 (with no additives) ISO VG-32. Moreover, the malfunction will occur if the lubrication is discontinued on the way because the disappearance of the initial lubrication part.

11.Avoid synchronized operation using cylinders only. Even if multiple pneumatic cylinders are initially set to the same speed, their speeds may vary due to changes in operating conditions. Therefore, avoid designs where a single load is moved by synchronizing multiple cylinder operations. 12.Do not make any modifications, including additional machining.
2-3. Mounting and Installation 1.There is a tolerance location diameter at the end surface of the head cover specifically for accurate alignment when mounting. ! Warning 1.Ensure sufficient space for maintenance activities. When installing the products, allow access for maintenance and inspection. 2.Tighten threads with the proper tightening torque.

! Caution 1.Do not apply excessive lateral load to the piston rod. The bold solid lines in Fig. 1 show the allowable lateral load on the cylinder for a certain stroke length. Refer to Table 2-6 Maximum Allowable Kinetic Energy.(Page 12) Fig.
Page 11
2. When female rod end is used, use a washer, etc. to prevent the contact part at the rod end from being deformed depending on the material of the work piece. 3. Be careful not to apply vibration or impact to the cylinder body when it is operated while fixed on one side and free on the other side (basic type, flange type).
2-4. Environment ! Warning 1. Do not use in atmospheres or locations where corrosion hazards exist. Refer to the construction drawing regarding cylinder materials. 2. Do not expose the product to direct sunlight for an extended period of time. 3. Do not use in a place subject to heavy vibration and/or shock. 4.
2-5. Speed control When the piston speed is adjusted, install SMC AS series speed controller near the air supply port to adjust to the specified speed. There are two methods of speed adjustment, one is to restrict air supplied to the product (meter-in), and the other is to restrict air exhausted from the product (meter-out).
2-7. Control of direction To switch the operating direction of the cylinder, mount an applicable solenoid valve selected from SMC's range of solenoid valves. ! Warning 1.Design a circuit to prevent sudden action of a driven object. When the product is actuated by an exhaust center type directional control valve or when one side of the piston is pressurized with air exhaust, such as when the product is started after the exhaust of the residual pressure from the circuit, driven objects may act suddenly at high speed.
2-8. Auto switches When an auto switch is mounted or its set position is changed, refer to Fig. 3, 4 and 5. ! Caution 1.Use a specific mounting bracket (Page 17, Table 3) and mount the product so that the band of the bracket will be perpendicular to the stroke of the product.

4-2-1. Disassembly / Reassembly ! Caution 1.Disassemble and assemble the cylinder on a clean cloth in a clean location. Perform on a clean cloth. For disassembling, hold the flats of the tube cover gently in a vice and hold the flats of the rod cover with a spanner or adjustable wrench to loosen and remove the rod cover.

4-2-3. Grease ! Caution 1.Use SMC’s recommended grease. [Standard grease (non-food)] Grease pack part number:GR-S-010 (10g) [Food compatible grease] Grease pack part number:GR-H-010 (10g) 1) Rod seal (1) Apply a thin layer of grease to all surfaces of the new seal to make it easy to mount the rod seal and improve sealing.

4-2-4. Mounting of seals 1) Rod seal (Fig.6, (1)) Pay attention to the mounting direction of the seal. Apply grease all over the seal and inner surface of the bushing. Fill the scraper groove with grease. If it is difficult to apply grease, for example to a small bore diameter, use a precision screwdriver.
