Mounting
Caution
1. Take care to avoid striking the cylinder tube with
other objects or handling it in a way that could
cause deformation.
The cylinder tube and slider units have a non-contact
construction. For this reason, even a slight deformation or
slippage of position can cause malfunction and loss of
durability, as well as a danger of degrading the particulate
generation characteristics.
2. Do not scratch or gouge the linear guide by striking
it with other objects.
Since the linear guide is specially treated for maximum
suppression of particulate generation due to sliding, even a
slight scratch can cause malfunction and loss of durability, as
well as a danger of degrading the particulate generation
characteristics.
3. Since the slide table is supported by precision
bearings, do not apply strong impacts or excessive
moment when mounting workpieces.
The slide table may contact with the cylinder tube.
4. Be sure to operate the cylinder with the plates on
both sides secured.
Avoid applications in which the slide table or only one plate is
secured.
5. When changing the ports to be used, be sure that
unused ports are securely sealed.
Take sufficient care in sealing unused ports, because if ports
are not properly sealed air can leak from the ports and
particulate generation characteristics can be degraded.
6. Do not loosen the bolts that fix the block of the
linear guide and slide table.
The slide table may contact with the cylinder tube.
7. It is recommended to place the load's center of
gravity on the cylinder linear guide.
The linear guide position is off-set from the cylinder center
axis, so it is recommended to place the load’s center of gravity
on the linear guide.
Handling
Caution
1. Open the inner package of the double packaged
clean series inside a clean room or other clean
environment.
2. Perform parts replacement and disassembly work in
a clean room after exhausting compressed air in the
piping outside the clean room.
Operation
Caution
1. The maximum operating pressure for the clean
rodless cylinder is 0.3 MPa.
If the maximum operating pressure of 0.3 MPa for the clean
rodless cylinder is exceeded, the magnetic coupling can be
broken, causing a danger of malfunction or degradation of
particulate generation characteristics, etc.
2. The product can be used with a direct load applied
within the allowable range, but careful alignment is
necessary when connecting to a load having an
external guide mechanism.
Since alignment variations increase as the stroke gets longer,
use a connection method which can absorb these variations
and consider measures to control particulate generation.
3.
When used for vertical operation, use caution
regarding possible dropping due to separation of
the magnetic coupling.
When used for vertical operation, use caution as there is a
possibility of dropping due to separation of the magnetic
coupling if a load (pressure) greater than the allowable value is
applied.
4. Do not operate with the magnetic coupling out of
position.
If the magnetic coupling is out of position, push the external
slider by hand (or the piston slider with air pressure) back to
the proper position at the stroke end.
5. Do not supply lubrication, as this is a non-lube
product.
The interior of the cylinder is lubricated at the factory, and
lubrication with turbine oil, etc., will not satisfy the product's
specifications.
