Handling Instructions and Precautions
11. Check for any damage on outside, etc., on
the rubber portion before using.
12. Do not let the rubber portion come into
contact with sharp objects and do not apply
shocks.
13. Prior to using the product, and before using it
again after not using it for a long time, test by
supplying and exhausting the air a few times.
14. Do not leave it for a long time unused with air
inside.
15. Avoid storing in places with direct sunlight or
moisture.
16. Do not inflate it frequently in a load-free state
because this may cause early failure of the
product.
17. The product wears out, so as it ages, replace
it with a new one in good time.
18. When gripping, if there is any oil or water
(any substance that reduces friction) between
the workpiece and the rubber, the friction
force will sharply be decreased to cause the
gripping force to reduce, and caution is
advised.
19. Air should be supplied after passing it
through a pressure reducing valve, a filter, or
an oil mist removal filter, and it should be
used at or less than the maximum operating
pressure. If used at high pressure, or if there
is oil or moisture contained in the air, it may
reduce its operating life.
10. Use in excess of the applicable workpiece
inner diameter range may cause early failure
of the product.
11. Additional machining to the product body by
the customer might damage the rubber
portion, and it will cause early failure of the
product.
12. Block with a sealant coated plug at unused
female thread on supply/exhaust ports.
11. Check for any damage on outside, etc., on
the rubber portion before using.
12. Do not let the rubber portion come into
contact with sharp objects and do not apply
shocks.
13. Prior to using the product, and before using it
again after not using it for a long time, test by
supplying and exhausting the air a few times.
14. Do not leave it for a long time unused with air
inside.
15. Avoid storing in places with direct sunlight or

16. Do not inflate it frequently in a load-free state

product.
17. The product wears out, so as it ages, replace
it with a new one in good time.
18. When gripping, if there is any oil or water
(any substance that reduces friction) between
the workpiece and the rubber, the friction
force will sharply be decreased to cause the
gripping power to reduce, and caution is
advised.
19. Air should be supplied after passing it
through a pressure reducing valve, a filter, or
an oil mist removal filter, and it should be
used at or less than the maximum operating
pressure. If used at high pressure, or if there
is oil or moisture contained in the air, it may
reduce its operating life.
10. Additional machining to the product body by
the customer might damage the rubber
portion, and it will cause early failure of the
product.
As the rubber hand reaches the end of its life, the
following phenomena can be seen. These
phenomena will differ depending on the operating
conditions (using environment, operating
purpose, gripping conditions, etc.), therefore
make regular inspections and replace it soon.
qThe cords are exposed due to wear of the
rubber part (pick type).
wCracks appear in the rubber portion.
eWhen inflated, unevenness between the cords
appears (pick type).
rInserting of the workpiece becomes difficult.
tIt takes time to exhaust.Note
y
Inflating the rubber portion becomes difficult.
Note
Note: The phenomena tand yabove can be
caused by clogging or air leakage in the
piping, therefore the piping should also be
checked if these phenomena occur.
