Product monitoring
Our goal is to supply safe, state-of the-art products. Therefore we monitor our products constantly after
delivery. Please inform us immediately of any recurring malfunctions or problems with the OSP-L.
2 Safety
Authorized Use
The operating safety of the OSP-L is only guaranteed if it is used in authorized applications.
Authorized applications of the OSP-L are:
• To move loads.
• To exert force.
The OSP-L is driven by compressed air.
The following should also be observed:
• Conditions laid down in the order confirmation.
• The Operating Instructions.
• Cataloque OSP-L.
If the OSP-L is used in any other way, this would constitute an „Unauthorized Use“.
This could result in property damage or personal injury for which we cannot be held responsible.
The risk is borne by the user alone.
When moving the piston in an unpressurised state, a valve in the middle position can be closed e.g. via an
intake air connection, or a vacuum can occur and pull the inner sealing band into the cylinder barrel via long
supply lines.
This can lead to:
• excessive leakage
• non-permitted accelerations (e.g. if fitted in a vertical position).
Caution
When commissioning the cylinder you must ensure that the piston does not come into contact with the com-
pletely vented cylinder barrel! See also chapter 8!
Personnel
The operator of the complete plant must ensure that work on the OSP-L is carried out only by authorized and
qualified personnel. Authorized personnel are trained engineers of the operator, the manufacturer and the
service partner.
Safety-Conscious Working Practices
The contents of these Operating Instructions, particularly the chapter on “Safety Instructions” must be duly
observed under all circumstances.
Before commencing work, all personnel assigned to work with the OSP-L must have read and thoroughly
understood the Operating Instructions - and the chapter on Safety in particular. Doing so while at work is too
late !! This also applies in particular to personnel working occasionally on the OSP-L, e.g., during set-up and
maintenance.
At appropriate intervals, check the safety-awareness of the personnel at work with due observance of the
Operating Instructions.
The followings are not permitted:
• Unauthorized modifications of the OSP-L.
• Working methods which impair the safety of the OSP-L.
Observe at the OSP-L :
• All attached safety instructions.
• Markings for compressed air connections.
Maintain these instructions in a fully legible condition.

Modular Pneumatic Linear Drives OSP-L
6.2 Designandfunction
6.2.1 Generaldesign
• The OSP-L is a pneumatic working cylinder without a piston rod.
• The slot in the cylinder barrel is sealed on the inside with a permanently elastic plastic (PU) band and
protected by a corrosion-resistant steel band (cover) on the outside.
• The piston interior consists of a piston yoke, support rings, piston seals, cushion seals, slide shoes and
magnets.
The outside consists of the cover and wipers.
• The load is mounted on the piston yoke.
• Air is supplied through the cushion spigot (via the air connection) to the cylinder barrel.
• End cushioning is created by a compression space around the cushion spigot between the cushion seal
and the cover, at the end of the cylinder barrel. It is fitted with a cushioning adjustment screw at each
end of the cylinder and is infinitely adjustable.
• The cylinder is equipped with permanent grease lubrication. Oil lubrication requires a continuous supply
of oil.
Note:
Numbers in brackets refer to parts list item and exploded view drawing of the spare parts list
(from page 21).
6.2.2 FunctionalPrincipleandApplicationCylinderØ25toØ63
• The piston is moved by compressed air in the cylinder. In the typical operating mode, both sides of
the cylinder are initially charged with compressed air and then the side towards which one wants the
cylinder to move is vented. For special applications it is possible to use different types of control if other
parameters are also taken into consideration.
• The piston yoke holds the sealing bands in grooves. The force is transmitted directly to the outside.
• The unit is fitted with the help of threads on its front face. Cover mountings can be supplied as
accessories.
• For long cylinders, additional mid-section supports should be used (also available as accessories).

7 Installationinmachineorplant
Installation work and commissioning must be carried through by trained personnel!
7.1 Preparations
Prior to installation:
• Remove and dispose off all transport devices.
The assembly itself must be carried out in such a way that
• the applicable rules and regulations are observed as required (e.g. DIN EN 983),
• the OSP-L is installed without distortion or warping,
• all connections and operating parts are accessible,
• the type plate is legible on the cylinder.
Any potential hazards that may exist between Parker Origa products and customer’s items of equipment
must be eliminated by the user as required.
7.2 InstallationofOSP-L
Notes on the Application of the OSP-L
Mechanical
• Prevent the inner sealing band from being pressed or sucked in.
Damage to the inner sealing band reduces the operating reliability.
A sudden jerk movement of the pressureless piston can create a low pressure which sucks the inner
sealing band into the cylinder chamber.
• In the case of extreme contamination we recommend to install the „piston-down“ installation and, if
necessary, the use of deflectors.
• Fasten the working load to the carrier using only the threaded holes in the carrier.
• Position the working load so that the bending moments on the carrier are below the values shown in the
OSP-L cataloque.
• For long cylinders, use mid-section supports from our cataloque.
• Avoid forces exerted by loads carried on external linear guides.
Example OSP-L: by using a carrier with clevis mounting from our cataloque.
Electrical
• Sensors enable your load to be positioned accurately.
• Fit the sensors so that they are not close to ferritic parts or moving loads.
• Use the most favourable mounting slot on the circumference of the cylinder profile.
Pneumatic
• Actuate the cylinder via two 3/2 way valves ore one 5/3 way valve, normaly open.
• Avoid uncontrolled movements during start-up or after an unwanted stop
• Use soft start units, pressurised units or similar items from our catalogue.
• Arrange the control system so that the piston does not travel into a completely exhausted cylinder chamber.
• Adjust the piston speed with throttle non-return valves, these can be screwed directly into the cylinder.
• Use compressed air connections of adequate size.

7.3 Connectiondiagram
7.4 Accessories
Fastenings and magnetic switch
Owing to the broad range of accessories from our catalogue, the linear drives can be fixed regardless of the
surrounding conditions.
Magnetic switches, offered in our catalogue, allow contactless position sensing of the linear drives in their
intermediate and end positions.
For further information refer to the OSP-L catalogue
8 Commissioning
Installation work and commissioning must be carried through by trained personnel!
The linear drive can produce quick linear movements with high force. Failure to observe the safety regula-
tions can cause bodily injury as a result of trapping, or damage as a result of collision with other plant parts.
Risk of injury, risk of damage
When commissioning the cylinder you must ensure that the piston does not come into contact with the com-
pletely vented cylinder barrel.
When moving the piston by hand in an unpressurised state, a valve in the middle position can be closed e.g.
via an intake air connection, or a vacuum can occur and pull the sealing band into the cylinder barrel via
long supply lines. This can lead to:
• a temporary leak
• non-permitted accelerations (e.g. if fitted in a vertical position).
CRUSHING HAZARD
Check before commissioning:
• that the connection arrangements are correct, and
• that there is nothing in the way of the moving load.
During the first start-up, check the function of the proximity and/or the limit switches. First, the linear drive
should be allowed to run through the entire moving zone at low speed in order to detect any possible colli-
sion areas. These must be removed immediately.
8.1 CommissioningofanOSP-Lcylinder
• Slowly move the piston from left to right and back manually without compressed air.
• Move piston to the middle position.
• Fully screw in both cushioning adjustment screws for end cushioning.
• Unscrew both cushioning adjustment screws about one half turn.
• Slowly pressurise both cylinder chambers in order to prevent uncontrolled, dangerous movements (soft
start valve, accessories in our catalogue),
the piston stops after a short movement.
• Vent one side,
the piston travels to end position.
OSP-L basic cylinder

EN
• Start test running.
• Adjust speed with throttle non-return valve.
• Adjust end cushioning with cushioning adjustment screw.
The floating end cushion must be adjusted to ensure a shock-free and vibration-free operation.
Check the permissible weights and speeds in accordance with cushioning diagram
in catalogue OSP-L.
8.2 CommissioningofaCompletePlant
• Observe instructions for switching on and off the plant, running up of plant, control displays in accord-
ance with the operating instructions.
• Prior to switching on/first start-up of the plant make sure that nobody is within reach of the plant.
• Everybody must be informed that the cylinder (the plant) is about to start.
• Prior to commissioning check all protective devices, limit switches, safety earthings and other protective
measures for proper function and completeness. Inspect all parts of the plant for foreign substances.
• Nobody must stay within the danger zone during commissioning.
• Make sure that the correct plant data have been entered for the first start-up.
• Slowly move the piston from left to right and back manually without compressed air.
• Move piston to mid position.
• Screw in both cushioning adjustment screws for end cushioning fully.
• Unscrew both cushioning adjustment screws about half a turn.
• Pressurise plant slowly in order to avoid uncontrolled, dangerous movements (soft start valve), according
in our catalogue.
• Adjust speed with throttle non-return valve.
• Adjust end cushioning with cushioning adjustment screws.
Check the permissible weights and speeds in accordance with cushioning diagram in catalogue OSP-L.
8.3 Re-commissioningafterlongperiodswithoutoperation
• Slowly move the piston from left to right and back manually without compressed air.
• Move piston to mid position.
• Continue as for individual OSP-L cylinder (Chap. 8.1).
9 Removalfromplant
Crushing hazard and danger of eye injuries.
Be extremely careful when removing OSP-L from the plant.
Observe chapter 2, page 4 „Safety“ and the local safety regulations.
Possible hazards are:
• Residual pressure in lines and adjustment elements
- Slowly depressurise cylinder/plant to remove the residual pressure in the lines and adjustment
elements.
• Heavy parts that might fall down after unscrewing
- Secure heavy parts that might fall down after unscrewing.
- Make sure that there are no persons within the reach of any parts that might fall down.
• Sharp edges
- Wear protective gloves to avoid injuries by cutting.
• Moving the piston
- To avoid uncontrolled movements of the piston depressurise the cylinder/plant.
- In vertical arrangement, move the piston to the bottom final position prior to depressurisation.

Information
Piston seals have a sensitive sealing lip which should only be inserted into the cylinder barrel by pulling ac-
tion. For that reason the fitting sequence must be carried out as follows:
• Insert two side strippers (31) in the first piston without felt wiper and piston seal, ensuring that the
stripper lips are pointing outward, and center (illustration on the right).
• Push the protruding sealing band without bending it through the first piston
into cylinder barrel. The piston seal is mounted later.
• On second piston fit the first greased felt ring (24a) on support ring (25)
(on the side facing away from the first piston).
• Push one piston seal (24) onto the side of the felt ring, ensuring that the
lip and groove of the piston seal are pointing outward. Take care to ensure
that the fixing on the piston seal locks into the support ring recess and is
aligned to the center.
• Insert two side strippers (31) in second piston, ensuring that the stripper
lips are pointing outward, and center (illustration on the right).
• Grease the mounted piston seal and felt ring well and also fill the groove in
the piston seal with grease.
• Push the protruding sealing band without bending it through the second
piston, from the side without mounted piston seal, until the sealing band is
approx. 10 mm above the piston seal.
• Place the two side wipers on the cylinder barrel and insert the second
piston to about 2/3 of its length. Take care to ensure the symmetrical
positioning of the mounted strippers.
• Insert the inner sealing band further until it is flush with the support
ring.
• Push both pistons, together with the sealing band, into the cylinder bar-
rel until the sealing band is flush with the cylinder barrel. Do not push
the sealing band further than the piston seal.
• Push both pistons to the other end position.
• Remove excess grease.
• Push the inner sealing band to the inside along the entire length using
an object that does not have sharp edges.
• With a pen, simultaneously push the sealing band and piston, but not the piston seal, around 2/3 of the
length of the piston out of the cylinder through the bore of the sealing band.
• Mount the second greased felt ring (24a) on the support ring (25).
• Set the second piston seal with the groove facing outwards on the support ring. Take care to ensure that
the fixing on the piston seal locks into the support ring recess and is aligned to the center.
• Grease the piston seal and fill the groove in the piston seal with grease.
• Insert the inner sealing band further, until the sealing band is flush with the support ring.
• Push the piston, together with the sealing band, into the cylinder barrel until the sealing band is flush
with the cylinder barrel.
• Push both pistons approx. 100 mm further into the cylinder barrel.
Insert the first cushion spigot (20)
Mount on the side where the piston is located!
• Grease the base of the O-ring slot (21), insert the O-rings and grease them thoroughly.
• Grease the cushion spigots.
• Insert the nuts (26) with the teeth pointing upward in the cushion spigot. Make sure the elevated offset
is pointing outward.

• Mount the clamp (16) and clamping screws (15) but do not tighten.
• Push both pistons right in and pull the support ring on the other side out slightly.
• Mount the second greased felt ring (24a) on the support ring (25).
• Position the second piston seal on the support ring with the groove pointing outward. Make sure the fix-
ing on the piston seal locks into the support ring recess and is centered.
• Grease the piston seal and fill the groove in the piston seal with grease.
• Push both pistons approx. 100 mm into the cylinder barrel.
