2-2. 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 and inspection.
3) Precaution for tightening torque of the nut
Make sure that the mounting nut (for mounting cylinder) and rod end nut (for mounting
load) are mounted at the maximum tightening torque or less as shown on page 15.
4) Do not perform additional machining on the product.
Performing additional machining on the product can result in insufficient strength and
cause damage to the product. This can lead to possible human injury or damage to the
surrounding equipment.
5) Fixed orifice
To loosen impact, a fixed orifice is incorporated in the hose nipple. Be sure not to enlarge
the inside diameter of this orifice, because if the hole is enlarged, the cylinder operating
speed may exceed the allowable speed (500mm/sec at no-load), which will result in an
increased impact force to damage the cylinder. In applications where a no-load operating
speed of more than 500mm/sec is required, the manufacturer should be consulted.
Caution
1)
Be certain to align the rod axis with the load and direction of movement when connecting.
When not properly aligned, the rod and tube may be twisted, and damage may be caused
due to wear on certain areas, such as the inner tube surface, bushings, rod surface, or seals.
2) When an external guide is used, connect the rod end and the load in such a way
that there is no interference at any point within the stroke.
3) Do not scratch or gouge the sliding parts of the cylinder tube, piston rod, etc.,
by striking or grasping them with other objects.
If the piston sliding part is scratched by an object due to collision, the cylinder operation
will be degraded. Even though the cylinder is operating correctly, the scratch will damage
the bushing, which adversely affects the operation. As the cylinder tube I.D. is produced
with a precise tolerance, if an object is dropped onto it or the damaged part of the cylinder
affects the internal surface during installation, operation failure may occur.
4)
Do not use until you can confirm that equipment can operate properly.
Confirm correct mounting by performing function and leak tests properly after compressed
air and power are connected following mounting or repair.
5)
Be very careful when handling the product.
Depending on the handling method, there is a risk that the corners of the product will injure
your hands, fingers, etc.
6) Do not use it in such a way that a load could be applied to the piston rod
during the retraction. The spring that is built into the cylinder provides only
enough force to retract the piston rod. Thus, if a load is applied, the piston rod
may not be able to retract to the end of the stroke.
