2-4 Piping
!
!
!
!
Caution
1) For the handling of one-touch fittings, refer to the Precautions for fittings and tubing in Best
Pneumatics No. 6.
2) Before piping
Before piping, perform air blow (flushing) or cleaning to remove any cutting chips, cutting oil, dust,
etc. from the piping.
3) Sealant tape
When installing piping or fitting into a port, prevent cutting
chips and sealant material from getting inside the piping.
If a sealant tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 threads exposed at
the end of threads.
2-5. Environment

Warning
1) Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water, water or steam are
present.
2) If using in a location directly exposed to sunlight, shade the product from the sunlight.
3) Do not operate in a location subject to vibration or impact.
4) Do not use in a place where there are heat sources around the product and it can receive radiant
heat.
5) Install a cover over the rod if it is used in an area that is dusty, or in an environment in which water
or oil splashes on the cylinder.
6) When using auto switches, do not operate in an environment with strong magnetic fields.
7) Refer to Shock Absorber Precautions if using a product with a shock absorber.
8) Grease oil can decrease depending on the properties of the compressed air used with the
pneumatic equipment, external environment and operating conditions. This may reduce the
lubrication performance and shorten the life of the product.

Caution
1) Lubricant and grease oil may seep out of the product in some operating conditions. Contact SMC,
especially if a clean environment is required.
2) Do not use in an environment where the product is directly exposed to liquid, such as cutting oil.
If cutting oil, coolant or oil mist splashes the product, play, increased sliding resistance and air
leakage can result.
If the product is used in such an environment, contact SMC.
3) Do not use the product in an environment directly exposed to foreign matter such as dust, cutting
chips and spatter.
This can result in play, increased operating resistance, air leakage, etc.
4) Note the corrosion resistance of the linear guide.
The table and guide block use martensite stainless steel, but it is inferior to austenitic stainless
steel in terms of corrosion resistance. Especially, rust may be generated in an environment that
allows water drops from condensation to stay on the surface.
Wrap this way.
Sealant tape
Leave two threads exposed.
