Troubleshooting

 

 

Failure

 

Possible causes

 

Countermeasures

 

No operation

 

The  product  is  not  used  at  a  speed  within  the 
range of the stable speed adjustable range. 

Use  the  product  within  the  specified  speed 
adjustable  range  shown  in  the  catalog  or 
operation manual. 

Increase in the internal leakage due to damage 
to the internal seal with foreign matter, drainage, 
etc.   

Replace the vane shaft and stopper seals with 
new ones. 
(The whole product needs to be replaced as a 
rule.) 

Sealing failure of the internal seal or increase in 
the internal resistance due to operation outside 
of 

the 

operating 

temperature(Including 

freezing). 

Operate  the  product  within  the  operating 
temperature range. 
(For sealing failure, replace the vane shaft and 
stopper seals with new ones.)   

Malfunction of the peripheral equipment. 
a. The speed controller is not adjusted properly. 
b. Operation failure of the solenoid valve. 
c. Air is not supplied sufficiently due to clogging 

of the air filter. 

d.  Air  pressure  is  reduced  due  to  operation 

failure of the regulator. 

Use the countermeasure peripherals.   
(Including circuit problems) 

Broken shaft

 

Load energy is too large. 
a. Load weight is too large. 
b. Operating speed is too fast. 
c. Radius of rotation is too large. 

Replace the shaft. 
a.  Use  the  product  with  the  energy  within  the 

allowable range. 

b. Absorb the impact energy. 

Mount  the  cushion  and  external  stopper 
correctly. 

External force other than load is applied to the 
shaft. 

Replace the shaft. 
Avoid excessive external force being applied to 
the shaft. 

Eccentric load due to misalignment. 

Replace the shaft with a new one. 

Operation without the 

specified rotation angle

 

Joint of the rotating shaft or internal stopper is 
damaged.   

Replace the joint or replace the whole product 
with a new one. 

Damage to the 

bearing

 

Excessive load 
(Loads  in  thrust  and  radial  directions  are  too 
large.) 

Replace the bearing with a new one.     
Operate  with  the  radial  load  and  thrust  load 
which is within the allowable range. 

Eccentric load due to misalignment. 

Replace the bearing for correct alignment. 

Too much vibration is applied to the product. 

Replace the bearing to reduce the vibration. 

External leakage 

Sealing failure with the O-ring due to damage to 
the bearing or bending of the shaft. 

Replace  the  bearing  or  the  shaft  with  a  new 
one. 
Reduce the external force. 

Damage  to  the  O-rings  due  to  foreign  matter 
and/or drainage. 

Replace the O-rings with new ones. 
Prevent  foreign  matter  or  drainage  from 
entering the product.   

Internal leakage 

Damage to the seals due to foreign matter 
or drainage. 

Replace the vane shaft and stopper seals. 
(The  whole  product  needs  to  be  replaced 
as a rule.) 
Prevent  any  foreign  matter  and  drainage 
from entering the product. 

Sealing  failure  due to  operation  outside  of 
the operating temperature range. 

Replace the vane shaft and stopper seals 
with new ones. 
(Replace  the  whole  product  as  a  rule, 
especially  for  the  product  used  at  a  high 
temperature.) 
Operate  the  product  within  the  operating 
temperature range.
