TROUBLE SHOOTING
Motion troubles
Suspected cause
Remedies
Does not actuate
Pilot signal doesn’t come
Correction of the air circuit
Pilot pressure is low
Adjustment of the pilot pressure
Malfunctions
Erroneous shut off pressure source
Turn on the power source
Insufficient pressure
Reset the pressure reducer valve or install a
pressure raising valve
Insufficient flow of fluid
Rectify the size of pipe or install a surge tank
Pressure supplied through exhaust port
Change the piping to an external pilot system
Erroneous piping, erroneous omitting some
piping
Rectify the piping system
Speed control valve completely closed by error
Reset the needle valve
A port B port is directly released to an open air
Install pipe joints to A and B ports with diame-
ter equal to or smaller than that of to P port
joint
Valve is frozen
Add remedies of avoiding freezing
(Heating system or dehumidifying system etc.)
Clogged-up exhausting port with dust
Install a cover or silencer and clean it regularly
High actuating
pressure
is required
Bulged or decomposed packings
Check the quality of the lubricant
(Turbine oil type1, ISO VG 32 or equivalent)
Relocate the valves away from splashing area
of cutting coolant
Keep organic chemicals away from valves.
Release of A and / or B port to an open air di-
rectly
Check the piping. Apply more grease.
Foreign particles cut into packing lips
Remove the foreign particle away from the
packing
Malfunctions
when manifold
is used
Adjacent cylinder pops out
(3-way, single acting cylinder)
After pressurizing pilot air the master valve in
question is actuated prior to others sequential-
ly.
Install a locking system to the cylinder
