Air Supply
(1) Type of fluids
Please consult with SMC when using the product in applications other than compressed air.
(2) When there is a large amount of moisture
Compressed air containing a large amount of moisture can cause malfunction of pneumatic equipment. An air
dryer or water separator should be installed upstream from filters.
(3) Drain flushing
If condensation in the drain bowl is not emptied on a regular basis, the bowl will overflow and allow the
condensation to enter the compressed air lines. This may cause malfunction of pneumatic equipment.
If the drain bowl is difficult to check and remove, installation of a drain bowl with an auto drain option is
recommended.
(1)
When extremely dry air is used as the fluid, degradation of the lubrication properties inside the
equipment may occur, resulting in reduced reliability (or reduced service life) of the equipment. Please
consult with SMC.
(2)
Install an air filter.
Install an air filter upstream near the valve. Select an air filter with a filtration size of 5μm or smaller.
(3)
Take measures to ensure air quality, such as by installing an aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator.
Compressed air that contains a large amount of moisture can cause malfunction of pneumatic equipment such
as rotary actuator. Therefore, take appropriate measures to ensure air quality, such as by providing an
aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator.
(4)
Ensure that the fluid and ambient temperature are within the specified range.
If the fluid temperature is 5°C or less, the moisture in the circuit could freeze, causing damage to the seals and
equipment malfunction. Therefore, take appropriate measures to prevent freezing.
Operating Environment
(1)
Do not use in an atmosphere containing corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water, steam, or where
there is direct contact with any of these.
Refer to the construction diagram for information on the materials used in the rotary actuator.
(2)
Do not expose the product to direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
(3)
Do not use in a place subject to heavy vibration and/or shock.
(4)
Do not mount the product in locations where it is exposed to radiant heat.
(5)
Do not use in dusty locations or where water oil, etc., splash on the equipment.
