Push the lever (on the ejector side) of the lock plate to slide
it to a position where it stops completely.

Mount the pad in the reverse order of steps above.
Cautions on pad mounting
When mounting the pad assembly on the adapter plate,
adjust the position so that the non-rotating convex part on the
bottom of the adapter plate enters the non-rotating hole in
the holder.

When locking the lock plate, push in
the stud assembly from the lower
portion. If the stud assembly is not
p u s h e d i n t o t h e a d a p t e r p l a t e
completely, the lock plate slides
insufficiently, causing pad drop or vacuum leak.
7. Recommended One-touch fitting to be mounted at
the PD port is the KQ2S06-01
l
S or KQ2S07-34
l
S.
One-touch fitting may interfere with the top surface of
the pad depending on the fitting dimensions. This may
cause the One-touch fitting not to be mounted.

Specific Product Precautions 1
Be sure to read this before handling. For Safety Instructions and Vacuum Equipment
Precautions, refer to “Handling Precautions for SMC Products” and the Operation
Manual on SMC website, http://www.smcworld.com
1. Use the product while strictly observing the
precautions on vacuum equipment and taking the
safety into consideration. Additionally, select a pad
size and material suitable for the workpiece to be
adsorbed and the atmosphere. Take safety measures
so that any accident, such as workpiece drop does
not occur during adsorption transfer. For details,
refer to the Best Pneumatics No. 4 catalog.
2. After the pad has been replaced, lock the lock plate
completely before use. (Refer to
q
shown in the
figure below.) If the lock plate is not locked
completely, the pad may drop due to the vibration or
load during operation.
3. To ensure the safety, be sure to mount the lock
screw on the lock plate before use. (Refer to
w
shown in the figure below.) If the lock plate comes
off during operation, this may cause a serious
accident, such as pad drop or workpiece drop.
4. If the adsorption time delay or incorrect adsorption
occurs, the vacuum leak due to worn out pad or
strainer clogging may be the cause. Perform the
periodic maintenance so that any trouble such as
workpiece drop does not occur.
5. When connecting multiple pads to one ejector
through the vacuum communication, other pads
also cannot adsorb if incorrect adsorption occurs in
one pad. Take safety measures so that the
workpiece does not drop during transfer.
