2.Specific Product Precautions
Parts and Names of Products
Design/ Selection
(1)Confirm the specifications.
This product is designed to be used only in a
compressed air system (including vacuum).
Do not operate at pressures, temperatures, etc.,
beyond the range of specifications, as this can
cause damage or malfunction. (Refer to the
product specifications.)
Please contact SMC when using a fluid other
than compressed air. We do not guarantee
against any damage if the product is used
outside of the specifications range.
(2)This product is designed to perform
deceleration of the cylinder stroke and cannot
be used for a complete accurate and precise
intermediary stop of the actuator.
(3) Sonic conductance and critical pressure
ratio values for products are representative
values. The value of the deceleration controller
after deceleration is the value as of when the 2nd
speed knob is fully opened.
Design/ Selection
(1) Check the range in which the deceleration
timing can be adjusted.
Check the range in which the deceleration timing
can be adjusted by using the following formula as
a guide.
It may be difficult to control the deceleration
timing with this product depending on the cylinder
stroke and initial velocity.
* When you make adjustment for the first time,
adjust the speed by setting the number of speed
controller rotations from fully closed position to
four to five rotations. The cylinder may extend
suddenly if the cylinder is not pressurised. Make
adjustment by paying attention to the surrounding
areas.

Example) When a cylinder whose stroke is 50 mm is
operated at 100 mm/sec, the formula is: 50 / 100 = 0.5.
As the value is greater than 0.4, deceleration control is
possible.
When a cylinder whose stroke is 50 mm is operated at
200 mm/sec, the formula is: 50 / 200 = 0.25. As the value
is smaller than 0.4, deceleration control is not possible.

Design/ Selection
(2) Pay attention to the load weight.
Set the load weight of each cylinder by following
the procedures for selecting a product by model
selection. This product controls the cylinder
velocity by increasing the back pressure through
compression of the air in the cylinder. Therefore, if
the 2nd speed knob (gray) is excessively throttled,
the cylinder may bounce at the stroke end
depending on the load weight or initial velocity.
When an adequate deceleration is not possible
due to forces such as moment of inertia, set the
deceleration timing earlier or decrease the initial
cylinder velocity.
(3) Pay attention to the piping tube length.
The larger the piping volume between the
product (deceleration controller) and cylinder, the
lower the deceleration effect as because the back
pressure does not increase.
We recommend that you install the product as
close to the cylinder as possible. When the piping
tube is long, adjust the tube length by referring to
the formula below as a guide.

󰇛󰇜
Example) When connecting TU0604 tube to the
cylinder (ø25, 500 mm stroke) and starting
deceleration at 75% point of the stroke length.
The formula is: (25^2 / 4^2) * 500 * (1 - 0.75) >
4,882. Therefore, the piping tube must be 4.8 m or
shorter.
*2 When starting deceleration at 75% point of the
cylinder stroke length, insert multiplication by 0.25
(= 1 - 0.75). When starting deceleration at 90%
point of the cylinder stroke length, insert
multiplication by 0.1 (= 1 - 0.9).
When the piping tube length cannot be adjusted
in the above range, set the deceleration timing
earlier or decrease the initial cylinder velocity.
(4) When using the product along with the
built-in air cushion incorporated in the
cylinder, pay attention to the adjustment
method.
If an air cushion is already incorporated in the
cylinder, the stroke movement may temporarily
stop at the original air cushion position or the stick-
slip phenomenon may occur during the 2nd speed
setting of this product.
If this is the case, readjust the cushion needle
incorporated in the cylinder by gradually opening
the cushion needle.
Mounting
(1)Keep the operation manual and check its
contents.
Install the products and operate it only after
reading the operation Manual carefully and
understanding its contents. Also, keep the
Manual where it can be referred to as
necessary.
(2)Ensure sufficient space for maintenance
activities. When installing the products, allow
access for maintenance
(3) Check the piping direction, and then mount
the product.
If this product is mounted in the opposite
direction, speed adjustment and deceleration
effect may not be observed, and the cylinder may
suddenly move at an uncontrollable speed.
(4) Mount the product by using the mounting
bracket.
When installing the product, use the mounting
holes of the bracket bottom face and secure the
product with M3 screws.
(The screws should be prepared by the user.)
Tighten the screws to the appropriate torque for
mounting the product.

(5) After pushing the knob down to lock,
confirm that it is locked
Confirm that the knob is locked by pushing the
knob in after adjusting the cylinder speed. When
the speed controller is unlocked, the set flow
may change. If the knob is pulled with force
while the speed controller is unlocked, it may
result in breakage. When it is unlocked, do not
pull the knob out with force.
(6) Turn the knob slowly in the open or closed
direction during operation.
(Guide for rotation speed: 1 [rev/sec] or
below)
Scale malfunction may occur if quick
adjustment is made between two graduations
(for example, 0 →1→0).
(7) Do not force the knob to turn outside the
specified range indicated to the scale.
The scale may indicate a wrong value, possibly
leading to a wrong setting.
[Example of wrong use]: While the scale
indication range is 0 to 8, turning the scale in the
open direction from graduation 8 caused the
scale to indicate 0.

(9) Do not use tools such as pliers to rotate the
knob.
It can cause idle rotation of the knob or damage.
(10) To adjust the 2nd speed knob, start with the
knob in the fully closed position, and then
make adjustment by turning it
counterclockwise.
Depending on the opening adjustment condition
of the knob (needle), the cylinder may suddenly
move. Adjustment of the knob (needle) in the
clockwise direction decreases the flow rate
(closes), and its adjustment in the
counterclockwise direction increases the flow rate
(opens).
The actuator speed decreases when an
adjustment in the clockwise direction is made and
increases when an adjustment in the
counterclockwise direction is made.
(11) Do not apply excessive force or shock to
the body or fittings with an impact tool.
It can cause damage or air leakage.
(1) Cylinder speed check
Large variations in actuator speed can occur as
a result of individual product differences due to
tolerance of the components, individual cylinder
differences, operating conditions, temperature,
etc. The final cylinder speed should be checked
each time the setting has been changed.
(2) Lifting force for the knob
The lifting force for the knob is specified as
shown in the table below.
Lifting the knob with a lifting force larger than
that specified in the table below will cause the
knob to come off, make the cylinder setting
speed or scale incorrect, or cause damage to
the product.

piping
(1) Refer to the Fittings & Tubing Precautions
for handing One-touch fittings.
(2) Preparation before piping
Before piping is connected, it should be
thoroughly blown out with air (flushing) or
washed to remove chips, cutting oil and other
debris from inside the pipe.
Precautions for One-Touch Tube
Fittings
Mounting/Piping
(1) Connection and disconnection of tube from
one-touch fitting
①Installation of tube
1) Cut the tube perpendicularly, being careful not
to damage the external surface. Use an SMC
tube cutter TK-series. Do not cut the tubing with
pliers, nippers, scissors, etc., otherwise the
tubing will be deformed and problems may
result.
2) The outside diameter of the polyurethane
tubing swells when internal pressure is applied
to it. Therefore, it may be impossible to re-
insert the tubing into One-touch fittings. Check
the tubing outside diameter, and when the
accuracy of the outside diameter is +0.07mm or
larger for φ2, and +0.15mm or larger for other
sizes, re-insert it into the One-touch fitting
without cutting the tube. When the tubing is re-
inserted into the One-touch fitting, confirm that
the tubing goes through the release button
smoothly.
3) Grasp the tubing, and slowly push it straight (0
to 5°) into the One-touch fitting until it comes to
a stop.
4) Pull the tubing back gently to make sure it has
a positive seal. Insufficient installation may
cause air to leak or the tubing to release.
As a guide for checking if the tubing is pulled out
or not, refer to the following table.
②Removal of the tube
1) Push the release button flange evenly and
sufficiently to release the tube. Do not push
in the tubing before pressing the release
button.
2) Pull out the tubing while keeping the release
button depressed. If the release button is not
held down sufficiently, the tubing cannot be
withdrawn.
3) To reuse the tubing, remove the previously
lodged portion of the tubing. If the lodged
portion is left on without being removed, it
may result in air leakage and make the
removal of the tubing difficult.

Precautions for One-Touch Tube
Fittings
Mounting/Piping
(2) When mounting the tube, resin plug or
metal rod, do not press the release button.
Do not press the release button unnecessarily
before mounting tubing, resin plugs and metal
rods. This can cause the disconnection of tube.
(3) When using a tube other than that from SMC,
make sure that the tube material and the O.D.
accuracy satisfy the following specifications.
1) Nylon tube: within ±0.1 mm
2) Soft nylon tube: within ±0.1 mm
3) Polyurethane tube: within -0.2mm to
+0.15mm
Do not use a tube that does not satisfy the
specified tubing O.D. accuracy, or if a tube has a
different I.D., material, hardness, or surface
roughness from those of SMC's tube. Please
consult with SMC if there is anything unclear. It
may cause difficulty in connecting the tube,
leakage, disconnection of the tube, or fitting
damage.
Recommended Piping Conditions
(1) When connecting piping to the One-touch
fitting, use a pipe length with sufficient
margin, in accordance with the piping
conditions shown in Figure 1.
Also, when using a tying band, etc., to bind
the piping together, make sure that external
force does not come to bear on the fitting.

Air Supply
(1) Type of fluids
Please consult with SMC when using the
product in applications other than compressed
air.
(2) When there is a large amount of drainage
Compressed air containing a large amount of
drainage can cause the malfunction of
pneumatic equipment. An air dryer or water
separator should be installed upstream from
filters.
(3) Drain flushing
If condensation in the drain bowl is not emptied
on a regular basis, the bowl will overflow and
allow the condensation to enter the
compressed air lines. This causes the
malfunction of pneumatic equipment.
If the drain bowl is difficult to check and remove,
the installation of a drain bowl with an auto
drain option is recommended.
For compressed air quality, refer to SMC
catalog "CompressedAir Purification System".
(4) Use clean air
Do not use compressed air that contains
chemicals, synthetic oils that include organic
solvents, salt, corrosive gases, etc., as it can
cause damage or malfunction.
(1) Install an air filter.
Install an air filter at the upstream side of
valve. Select a filtration rating of 5 µm or
below, or that equivalent to or lower than ISO
8573-1:2010 [6:4:4]
* This rating is equivalent to the rating
produced when an air filter is installed for the
purity class [7:4:4] of the inlet side
compressed air.
(2) Ensure that the fluid and ambient
temperatures are within the specified range.
If the fluid temperature is 5℃or less, the
moisture in the circuit could freeze, causing
damage to the seals or leading to equipment
malfunction. Therefore, take appropriate
measures to prevent freezing.
For compressed air quality, refer to SMC
catalog "CompressedAir Purification System".
