Caution
13) Operate the piston within a range such that collision damage will not occre at the stroke
end.
The operation range should prevent damage from occurring when a piston, having inertial force, stops by
striking the cover at the stroke end. Refer to the cylinder model selection procedure for the maximum
usable stroke.
3-6.Installation, Setting-up and Other
Caution
1) Be certain to match the rod shaft center with the load and direction of movement when
connecting.
When not properly matched, problems may arise with the rod and tube, and damage may be caused due
to friction on areas such as the inner tube surface, bushings, rod surface, and seals.
2) When an external guide is used, connect the rod end and the load in such a way that there
is no interference at any point within the stroke.
3) Do not scratch or dent the sliding portion of the cylinder tube or the piston rod by striking
it with an object, or squeezing it.
The tube bore is manufactured under precise tolerances. Thus, even a slight deformation could lead to a
malfunction.
Moreover, scratches or gouges, etc. in the piston rod may lead to damaged seals and cause air leakage.
4) Do not use until you verify that the equipment can operate properly.
After mounting, repairs, or modification, etc., connect the air supply and electric power, and then confirm
proper mounting by means of appropriate function and leak tests.
5) Prevent the rotating parts from seizing.
After mounting, repair or modification, etc., connect the air supply and electric power, and then confirm
proper mounting by means of appropriate function and leak inspections.
6) Be sure to hold spanner flat of the piston rod when mounting and removing the load.
If the piston rod at load side is not held, the connected (threaded) part of the piston rod could be
loosened.
