■ Handling Precautions
Follow the instructions given below for selecting and handling of the air servo cylinder.
● The instructions on design and selection (installation, wiring, environment, adjustment, operation,
maintenance, etc.) described below must be followed.
*Product specifications
Warning
- Use the specified voltage.
Otherwise failure or malfunction can result.
- Reserve a space for maintenance.
When installing the products, allow access for maintenance.
- Do not remove the label.
This can lead to incorrect maintenance, or misreading of the operation manual, which can cause
damage or malfunction to the product.
It may also result in nonconformity to safety standards.

● Product Handling
* Precautions for design
Warning
- There is a possibility of dangerous sudden action by air cylinders if force is changed due to twisting of
sliding parts of machinery. In such cases, human injury may occur; e.g., hands or feet caught in the
machinery, or damage to the machinery itself may occur. Therefore, the machine should be designed
to operate smoothly and avoid such dangers.
- A protective cover is recommended to minimize the risk of personal injury.
If the driven object or moving parts of the product will pose a hazard to humans, a construction that
prevents direct contact with the exposed area must be provided.
- Securely tighten all stationary parts and connected parts, so that they will not become loose.
When the product operates with high frequency or is installed where there is a lot of vibration, ensure
that all parts remain secure.
- Design the system so that an external force exceeding the maximum output is not applied to the
product. The product can break, causing a risk of personal injury or damage to equipment.
- The product generates a large force. Install on a sufficiently rigid mounting base, taking this force into
consideration. There is a risk of personal injury or damage to equipment.
- Consider a possible loss of power source. Measures should be taken to prevent personal injury and
damage to equipment in the event that there is a power malfunction to equipment controlled by air
pressure, electricity or hydraulics, etc.
- Consider the action when operation is restarted after an emergency stop or abnormal stop. Design
the machinery so that personal injury or damage to equipment will not occur upon restart of operation.
When the cylinder has to be reset at the starting position, install safety manual control equipment.

7
 Caution
- Do not touch the cylinder during high speed and high frequency operation. When the cylinder is
operating at high speed and high frequency, the surface temperature of the cylinder tube increases,
and may cause injury to personnel.
- Do not use the air cylinder as an air-hydro cylinder.
If the working fluid of the air cylinder is turbine oil, oil leakage can result.
- The oil adhered to the cylinder is grease oil.
- The base oil of grease may seep out. The base oil of grease in the cylinder may seep out from the
tube, cover, or rod sliding part depending on the operating conditions (ambient temperature of 40oC or
more, pressurized condition, low frequency operation, etc.). Contact SMC especially if a clean
environment is required.

* Mounting
Caution
- Do not drop, hit or apply excessive shock to the product.
The product will be damaged, leading to failure and malfunction.
- Tighten to the specified tightening torque.
If the tightening torque is exceeded, the mounting screws can be broken.
If the screws are tightened to a different torque, IP67 will not be achieved.
- Be sure to connect the piston rod and the load so that their axial centers and movement directions
match. If they do not match, stress could be applied to the rod and the cylinder tube, causing wear on
the inner surface of the cylinder tube, the bushing, the rod surface, and damage to the seals.
- Do not scratch or dent the sliding parts of the cylinder tube or piston rod, by striking or grasping them
with other objects.
- Cylinder bores are manufactured to precise tolerances, even a slight deformation may cause a
malfunction. Moreover, scratches or dents, etc. on the piston rod sliding part may lead to damaged
seals and cause air leakage.
- Do not apply excessive lateral load to the piston rod.
Calculation for excessive lateral load:
Minimum operating pressure value after the device is mounted (MPa) = Cylinder's minimum operating
pressure (MPa) + {Load weight (kg) x Guide friction coefficient / Cylinder's cross section (mm2)}
If the product is found to operate smoothly with the calculated pressure, it can be judged that the
alignment of the guides have not created additional loading on the cylinder.
- Do not use the product until it has been verified that the equipment can operate properly. After
installation or repair, apply compressed air and power supplies to the equipment and perform
appropriate functional and leakage inspections to make sure the equipment is mounted properly.
- Do not let foreign matter such as cutting chips get into the product from the supply port. When the
product is installed on site, the debris from drilling mounting holes could get in the supply port of the
product. Take sufficient care to prevent this.
- Never mount the product in a location that will be used as a footrest.
The product may be damaged if excessive force is applied by stepping or climbing onto it.
