Common precautions for each size
1) Use air filtered through a 5-
µ
m-element filter.
2) Before piping is connected to the power clamp cylinder it should be thoroughly flushed with air.
3) Only use the clamp arm in our catalog. Do not weld an arm to the cylinder.
4) Always use a speed controller, and set it so that
it takes at least
1 second from unclamped to clamped, and at least 1 second
from clamped to unclamped.
5) This product is designed to be used after being adjusted using a
shim. For this reason, it is set to between 0° to +0.5° at the
clamping end as shown in Fig. 1.

Procedure
A) Place the workpiece, supply air at clamp side without installing clamping block, operate the clamp arm to the end of clamp.
B) Under the above conditions, adjust shim so that the space between the workpiece and the clamping block is about 0 mm.
Theoretically there is no clamping force for holding a workpiece under this condition.
C) In order to generate clamping force from the state described in step B, insert additional shim. The thickness of the shim differs
depending on the arm length and pressure, so please refer to the graph on front matter 3 as a guide. About 10% error may
occur due to the difference in tolerance of the clamp cylinder body.
