7-2 Mounting

①

Align the center of the pallet and the cylinder when mounting.

②

Make sure to flush inside the piping with air before piping to remove foreign matter. Filter removes foreign

matter such as dust and scaling inside the piping before the filter, but not after the filter. Foreign matter
after the filter directly enters the solenoid valve and cylinder, reducing the product life.

In order to prevent rotational torque from acting upon the cylinder rod, mount it so that the contacting
surfaces of the pallet and cylinder are parallel to one another.

③

When the product is installed on a machine on site, the debris from drilled mounting holes can get in the
supply port of the product. Take sufficient care to prevent this.

④

Inner diameter of cylinder tube is made with precise clearance. Do not let objects drop onto or deform the
inner parts by applying force during mounting. Otherwise, malfunction may result.

⑤

Shorten the length of piping. If the cylinder piping is too long, the volume of vapor generated by the adiabatic
expansion volume in the piping will become larger than that in the cylinder, and it cannot be exhausted to the
air and remains in the piping. With repeated operation, this vapor will acuumulate and form water drops. This
will wash away the grease inside the product, causing lubrication to deteriorate, which can wear the seals
and cause air leakage and increased friction resistance, resulting in operation failure. Take the following
measures to prevent air leakage and malfunction.

(1)Make the piping tube between the solenoid valve and cylinder as short as possible to ensure that the

vapor generated will be exhausted into atmosphere.

Refer to Best Pneumatics2-1 P.1904 Technical

Data 4: Condensation.

(2) Release the exhaust pressure directly into the atmosphere by installing a speed exhaust controller

ASV or quick exhaust valve to the cylinder.

(3) Set the piping port downwards so that moisture inside the piping does not go back to cylinder easily.

⑥

When the lever type with a built-in shock absorber is installed from the direction of the lever side, mounting
holes must be machined in accordance with recommended hole diameters in Table 1. When it is installed
from the direction of the lever side of the stopper cylinder (Fig. 3), note that the lever's outer diameter is larger
than the rod cover boss diameter.
