Air Supply
For compressed air supplied to the cylinder, use the air which is filtrated by SMC’s filter such as AF series
and adjust to specified setting pressure by SMC’s regulator such as AR series.
Warning
①
Use clean air.
Do not use compressed air which contains chemicals, synthetic oils containing organic solvents, salts or
corrosive gases, etc., as this can cause damage or malfunction.
Caution
①
Install air filters.
Install air filters close to valves at their upstream side. A filtration degree of 5
μ
m or less should be selected.
②
Install an aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator (Drain Catch).
Air that includes excessive drainage may cause malfunction of valves and other pneumatic equipment. To
prevent this, install an air dryer, aftercooler or water separator,etc.
③
Use the product within the specified range of fluid and ambient temperature.
Take measures to prevent freezing when below 5
℃
, since moisture in circuits can freeze and cause damage
to seals and lead to malfunctions.
For compressed air quality, refer to “Air Preparation Equipment” catalog.

Operating Environment
Warning
①
Do not use in atmospheres or locations where corrosion hazards exist.
R
efer to the construction drawings regarding cylinder materials.
②
In dusty locations or where water or oil, etc., splash on the equipment, take suitable measures
to protect the rod.
③
When using auto switches, do not operate in an environment with strong magnetic fields.
④
Avoid much humidity for storage of cylinder.
Store the cylinder with piston rod retracted under the environment with little humidity and countermeasure
for rusty.
