(3) Precautions for mounting
！
Caution
①
Do not dent and scratch the mounting surface of the body, table and end plate.
Damage can cause reduction in flatness, play at the guide and increase in sliding resistance.
②
Do not dent or scratch the rolling surface of the table.
Play or increased sliding resistance can result.
③
When attaching the work piece, do not apply strong impact or
large moment.
If an external force more than the allowable moment is applied,
it may cause play at the guide part and an increase in
sliding resistance.
④
Keep the flatness of the mounting surface 0.02mm or less.
Insufficient flatness of a work piece or base mounted on the product, the base and other parts can
cause play at the guide unit and an increase in the sliding resistance.
⑤
When connecting a load with an external support or guide mechanism, be sure to select a suitable
connection method and perform careful alignment.
⑥
Do not touch the product while in operation.
An operator’s finger may get caught between the optional adjuster and product.
Install a cover as a safety measure if an operator can get close to the slide table during operation.
⑦
Keep away objects which are affected by magnets.
A magnet is built in the body or, in case of a type with auto switch,
on the side of the guide block. Keep away magnetic discs,
cards or tapes. Data may be erased.
⑧
When mounting the air slide table, tighten it with the screws of
appropriate length at the appropriate torque less than
maximum tightening torque.
Tightening to a torque greater than the specified
range may cause malfunction, and insufficient tightening may cause displacement or dropping.

Air supply
！
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 an air filter.
Install an air filter close to the upstream side of the valve. Choose the filter of 5
μm of filtration.
②
Install an aftercooler, air dryer or water droplet separator.
Do not use compressed air containing a lot of condensate, which can cause the operating failure
of the product and other pneumatic equipment. Install an aftercooler, air dryer or water droplet
separator.
③
Use the product within the specified fluid and ambient temperature range.
When operating at temperatures below 5
o
C, water in the circuit may freeze and cause breakage of
seals or malfunction. Corrective measures should be taken to prevent freezing.
For compressed air quality, refer to SMC catalog "Compressed Air Purification System".
