Lubrication
1. This product should be used without lubrication. Although it will operate even if it is
lubricated, it could lead to sticking or slipping.
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.
4. 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 moisture can cause malfunction of pneumatic
equipment such as rotary tables. 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.
