WARNING
■Never mount the product in locations where it
may be exposed to rain, water splash, direct
sunlight and high humidity.
■Never use the product in environments where it
is prone to corrosion.
Otherwise it may result in product damages or abnormal operations.
In addition, even if some cylinder components (such as
piston rod and pull rod)would undergo electroplating
process, their manufactured parts (thread face along its
width, cutting face)are not electroplated. Therefore, the
cylinder may rust under normal conditions. Please take
preventive measures when necessary.
■
If the product is to be mounted in locations where
it may be exposed to heavy dust and splashes of
water or oil, cutting fluid and coolant, please use
devices such as protection guard.
In dusty locations, please use products equipped with
powerful scraper. Under liquid splashing environments,
please use products that provide excellent resistance
against cutting fluid.
■
When the ambient temperature drops below 5℃,
the remaining moisture within the circuit may
freeze, thus resulting in abnormal operations or
other failures. Therefore, please remove residual
moisture to prevent the circuit from freezing.
■The product has been initially lubricated and
operates well under a self-lubricating condition.
Use turbine oil ISO VG32 (without additives)if
necessary for lubrication . If the lubrication
operation is interrupted, lack of initial lubricant
volume will cause abnormal operation. Be sure
to lubricate the product continuously.
You need to decide whether to adopt self-
lubricating method or perform manual
lubrication for the pneumatic device, and
implement strict management on the selected
lubricating method.
■Avoid simultaneous operation of multiple
cylinders if possible.
Otherwise, the piston rod may be twisted when the
simultaneous operation fails, thus leading to abnormal
operations. If simultaneous operation of multiple cylinders is
required, please mount an additional guiding device with
high rigidity.
■Before mounting the rod eye, please check that
the cylinder can freely rotate without any
intervention across the whole stroke length.
■
Ultra-dry air supply is not intended for standard
pneumatic elements. Please only use pneumatic
elements designed for such air supply.
●Ultra-dry compressed air will shorten the service life of
pneumatic elements.
●Please use DC type solenoid valves.
■
Please use compressed air that is free of oxidized
air compressor oil, tar and carbon black.
●Oxidized oil, tar or carbon may come into and get affixed
on the interiors of pneumatic elements, add resistance to
the sliding part and lead to abnormal operation.
●Oxidized oil, tar or carbon may be blended with the
lubricant and cause the sliding part of pneumatic
elements to wear down.
■Please use compressed air that is free of solid
foreign matters.
●If the solid foreign matters come into pneumatic elements,
they may wear down the sliding part and get affixed on it.
Please mount air filters with mesh size of 5μm or smaller.
●Please perform regular maintenance checks to air
compressors.
CAUTION
●Temperature drop within air compressor piping and
pneumatic elements may create condensate.
●If the piping volume is larger than the cylinder volume
(converted under atmospheric pressure), the compressed
air within the cylinder will not be completely evacuated
each time the solenoid performs switchover, and dew will
be formed and accumulated within the cylinder, thus
generating condensate.
●The condensate may come into the air flow path within
the pneumatic elements and lead to instantaneous
congestion, thus causing abnormal operations.
●The condensate may cuase rusts and eventually lead to
pneumatic element failures.
●The condensate may be blended with the lubricant and
eventually lead to poor lubrication.

WARNING
WARNING
■
The durability may vary depending on the working
conditions and product variation characteristics.
■
Please use clean and dry air to create compressed air.
The compressed air must be free of synthetic oil (including
chemicals and organic solvents), salt and corrosive gas, or it
may lead to product damages or abnormal operations.
■Please use dry compressed air that will not
cause condensation within the piping.

7. How to Use
■When inertia force or vibration is generated
If the cylinder is mounted on a moving component (such as
X-axis module and pallet), the moving component will
generate inertia force or vibration when stopped. Please
consider these factors during design.
■About middle-position stop
When using a 3-position directional control valve (center
closed type)to perform middle-position stop of cylinder
piston, precise stop under low oil pressure cannot be
achieved due to air compressibility reasons. In addition,
since the valve or cylinder cannot ensure complete air
tightness, the piston may not be kept in the stop position for
a long time. If you require that the piston be kept in the stop
position for a long time, please consult with CKD.
