7-3. Change of the piston rod direction
For roller type and lever type, feed the pallet from the direction shown in Fig.4. Prior to changing the piston
rod direction, default factory settings require pallet to feed toward piping port side of cylinder.

Changing method of the
ø
12 bore piston rod direction ](Fig.5)
①
Remove the rod cover mounting screws (M4 x 2 pcs.) that hold the rod cover to the cylinder tube.
②
Adjust the rod cover to the desired position. Direction can be adjusted by 90 degrees.
③
Apply glue for screw, to the rod cover mounting screws.
Insert and tighten the rod cover mounting screws (2 pcs) to secure the rod cover to the cylinder tube.
Tightening torque is 1.5N

Hexagon wrench: Width across flats 3mm)
④
Make sure that the cylinder operates smoothly.

Changing method of the
ø
16 to 50 bore piston rod direction ](Fig. 6)
①
Loosen the hexagon socket head set screws (M3 x 2 pcs.) that hold the non-rotating guide in place.
②
Adjust the piston rod to the desired position.
Note: In order to prevent rotational torque from acting upon the piston rod, mount it so that the contacting
surfaces of the pallet and cylinder are parallel to one another.
③
Apply glue for screw, to hexagon socket head set screws. Insert and tighten two hexagon
socket head set screws to hold the non-rotating guide in place. Tightening torque is 0.63N
・
m
±
10(%).
(Tool
：
Hexagon wrench: Width across flats 1.5mm)
Note: Non-rotating guide is fixed by two hexagon socket head set screws. If one of the set screws is
tightened too much, the non-rotating guide may make contact with the piston rod, causing operation failure.
Therefore, tighten the hexagon socket head set screws in turn to make sure that the non-rotating guide
does not make contact with the piston rod.
④
Make sure that the cylinder operates smoothly.
