4.3.1 Sealant
Refrain applying sealant or seal tape approx.two pitches of thread from the
tip of pipe to avoid some of the sealing substances from falling into piping
system.
When winding the fluororesin seal tape on the screw part, wind the seal tape two
or three times where one or two screw threads remain at the top end of the screw,
and then push the tape by tip of the nail to make the tape tightly in contact with
the screw. When using the liquid sealant, apply a proper amount of sealant
where one or two screw threads remain at the top end of the screw.
At this time, do not apply the sealant to the female screw parts of the machine.
4.3.2 Flushing
Before connecting pipes, flush the interiors of the tubes, solenoid valves, and
connected devices to remove foreign matter.
4.3.3 Blow circuit
Do not open the cylinder port circuit to the air because a drop in the air sup-
ply pressure may cause a malfunction. Select the external pilot type design
instead of the internal pilot type design.
4.3.4 Exhaust port
Minimize the restriction to the flow of the exhaust air because such re-
striction may cause a delay in the cylinder response. If such a delay hap-
pens, the speed needs to be adjusted between the cylinder and solenoid valve.
