3) Securely tighten all stationary parts and connected parts so that they will not 

become loose.

 

When the product operates with high frequency or is installed where there is a lot of vibration, 

ensure that all parts remain secure. 

 

4) A deceleration circuit or shock absorber etc., may be required.

 

When a driven object is operated at high speed or the load is heavy, the cylinder’s cushion will not 

be sufficient to absorb the shock. Install a deceleration circuit before the cushion is hit to reduce 

the speed before cushioning, or install an external shock absorber to relieve the shock. 

In this case, please verify the rigidity of the equipment carefully. 

 

5) Consider the possibility of a reduction in the circuit air pressure that could be 

caused by a power failure.

 

When a cylinder is  used in a clamping mechanism, the work piece may come off due to a 

decrease in clamping force because of a decrease in the circuit pressure caused by a power 

failure, etc. Therefore, safety equipment should be installed to prevent damage to machinery and 

injury. Suspension equipment and lifting devices also require measures to prevent dropping. 

 

6) Consider a possible loss of power source.

 

Measures should be taken to prevent injury and equipment damage in the event that there is a 

loss of power to equipment controlled by air pressure, electricity or hydraulics, etc. 

 

7) Consider emergency stop.

 

Design the system to prevent injury and damage to machinery and equipment when it is stopped 

by a safety device for a power outage or manual emergency stop. 

 

8) Consider the action when operation is restarted after an emergency stop or 

abnormal stop.

 

Design the machinery so that injury or equipment damage will not occur upon restart of operation. 

When the cylinder has to be reset at the starting position, install manual safety equipment. 

 

9) Design the system so that it will not apply an external force over the maximum 

force to the product. 

The product can break, causing a risk of injury or damage to equipment. 

 

10) The cylinder generates a large force. Install on a sufficiently rigid mounting base, 

taking this force into consideration.

 

There is a risk of injury or damage to equipment. 

 

11) Do not synchronize cylinders coupled to the same load.

 

Air is a compressible fluid, and it is difficult to control its velocity since it is affected by fluctuations 

in the supply pressure, load, temperature and lubrication conditions, deviation in the performance
