Section 2: Operation
1.
Use only filtered, pressure regulated and lubricated air to operate the
actuator. The air must be filtered to remove
all contaminants in excess of
30 microns
particle size. Lubrication is recommended to reduce component
friction and maximize seal life. Use ESSO-NUTO H-32 oil (or equivalent,
compatible with seal materials).
2.
Care must be exercised to ensure that operating pressure does not exceed the
maximum rating of 150 psi
.
3.
Unless equipped with optional metallic rod-scraper and rod boot, the cylinder
should be operated in an environment free of excessive dust and abrasive
particles.
4.
Standard
operating temperature is between –30°C and +120°C
(–25°F and +250°F)
unless specially equipped with high or low temperature
seals.
5�
For cylinders used in environments where the ambient temperature can
drop below freezing point, only instrumental air, with Dew point –50°C
(–58°F) must be used� Lubrication is not recommended for such application
.
