Air Supply 

 
 

 

 

① 

Use clean air.

   

Do  not  use  compressed  air  that  contains  chemicals,  synthetic  oils  including  organic  solvents,  salt  or 
corrosive gases, etc., as it can cause damage or malfunction. 

 
 
 

 

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 5 μm 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  drainage  can  cause  malfunction  of  pneumatic 
equipment such as rotary actuators. 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

°

  or less, the moisture in the circuit could freeze, causing damage to the 

seals and equipment malfunction. Therefore, take appropriate measures to prevent freezing. 
For compressed air quality, refer to Best Pneumatics No. 5.

   

 

Operating Environment 

 

 
 
 

① 

Do not use in an atmosphere having corrosive gases, or where there is direct contact with this. 

② 

Do not use in dusty locations or where water or oil, etc., splash on the equipment. 

③ 

Do not use in a place subject to heavy vibration and/or shock. 

 

Speed Adjustment 

 

 
 

 

① 

To make a speed adjustment, gradually adjust starting from the low speed end. 

If  the  speed  adjustment  is  performed  from  the  high  speed  end,  it  could  damage  the  product.    As  a 
result, it could pose a hazard to humans and damage the machinery and equipment.
