5.1
Problems, Causes, and Solutions
If the product does not operate properly, check the table below for a possible solution.
5.1.1
Finger (cylinder)
Failure phenomenon
Cause
Treatment method
Finger does not
operate.
No pressure or insufficient pressure is applied.
Secure sufficient pressure.
No signal is input to directional control valve.
Repair the control circuit.
Centers were not aligned when mounted.
Correct the way the cylinder is mounted.
Change the mounting style
Piston packing is damaged.
Replace the packing.
Finger does not
operate smoothly.
Speed is lower than minimum working piston
speed.
Mitigate load fluctuation.
Centers were not aligned when mounted.
Correct the way the cylinder is mounted.
Change the mounting style.
Lateral load is applied.
Install a guide.
Correct the way the cylinder is mounted.
Change the mounting style
Load is too large.
Increase the pressure.
Enlarge the bore size.
Speed control valve has meter-in circuit.
Change the mounting direction of the speed control
valve.
Finger is damaged
or deformed.
Force of shock due to high-speed actuation is
excessive.
Decrease the speed.
Lighten the load.
Install a more effective cushion mechanism
(external cushion mechanism).
Lateral load is applied.
Install a guide.
Correct the way the cylinder is mounted.
Change the mounting style.
5.1.2

position detection.
Lower the speed.
Replace the relay with one recommended by CKD.
Rating of load is exceeded.
Replace the relay with one recommended by CKD or
replace the switch.
Switch does not
turn off.
Piston is not moving.
Move the piston.
Contact is welded.
Replace the switch.
Rating of relay is exceeded.
Replace the relay with one recommended by CKD or
replace the switch.
Ambient temperature is too high or too low.
Use the switch at an ambient temperature of 0°C
to 60°
Magnetic field is nearby.
Install a magnetic shield.
External signal is faulty.
Check the external circuit.
