Warning
1.
1. The product is designed for use only in compressed air systems. Do not operate at pressures or
temperatures, etc., beyond the range of the specifications, as this can cause damage or
malfunction of the cylinder and other equipment. (Refer to the specifications.)
Please contact SMC if using fluids other than compressed air. The product cannot be guaranteed if
is used outside of the specification range.
2.
Take safety measures (e.g. mounting protective covers) when there is a danger of fingers being
caught in a gripper or workpieces causing damage, etc.
3.
There is a danger of workpieces dropping if there is a decrease in gripping force due to a drop in
circuit pressure caused by a power failure or trouble with the air source. It is necessary to take
measures such as drop prevention so that injury and damage to machinery or equipment can be
prevented.
4.
If the product is used for a purpose other than the transportation of a workpiece such as positioning
or clamping, please consult SMC.
!
Caution
1. Finite orbit type guide is used in the actuator finger part. By using this, when there is inertial force
which cause by movements or rotation to the actuator, steel ball will move to one side and this will
cause a large resistance degrade the accuracy. When there is inertial force which cause by
movements or rotation to the actuator, operate the finger to full stroke.
5-2. Installation
！
Warning
1. Install and operate the product only after reading the Operation Manual carefully and
understanding its contents. Also, keep the manual where it can be referred to as necessary.
2. Allow sufficient space for maintenance and inspection.
3. Do not scratch or dent the air gripper by dropping or bumping it when mounting.
Slight deformation can cause inaccuracies or a malfunction.
4. Tighten the screw within the specified torque range when mounting the attachment.
Tightening with a torque above the limit can cause malfunction, while insufficient tightening can
cause slippage and dropping.
How to mount attachment to the finger
Make sure to mount the attachments on fingers with the tightening torque in the table below by
using bolts, etc., for the female threads on fingers.
