Pneumatic components
WARNING
•
Depressurize the system!
–
Switch off the compressed air supply before working on the circuit.
–
Check the system with pressure gauges to make sure that the entire circuit is
fully depressurized.
–
Please note that energy may be stored in reservoirs. Further information on
this issue is available in the datasheets and operating instructions included
with the components.
•
Risk of injury when switching on compressed air!
Cylinders may advance and retract automatically.
•
Risk of accident due to advancing cylinders!
–
Always position pneumatic cylinders so that the piston rod’s working space is
unobstructed over the entire stroke range.
–
Make sure that the piston rod cannot collide with any of the rigid components
in the setup.
•
Risk of accident due to pneumatic tubing slipping off!
–
Use shortest possible barbed tubing connections.
–
If pneumatic tubing slips off, switch off the compressed air supply
immediately.
•
Do not exceed the maximum permissible pressure of 1000 kPa (10 bar).
•
Do not switch on the compressed air until all the tubing connectors have been
joined and secured.
•
Do not disconnect tubing while under pressure.
–
Do not attempt to seal or plug pneumatic tubing or plug connectors with your
hands or fingers.
