How to Mount and Move the Auto Switch
Note 1)
When tightening an auto switch mounting screw, use a watch-
maker’s screwdriver with a handle diameter of 5 to 6 mm.
Also, set the tightening torque to be 0.05 to 0.1 N·m.
As a guide, turn 90°from the position where it comes to feel
tight. Set the tightening torque of a hexagon socket head set
screw (M4 x 0.7) to be 1.0 to 1.2 N·m.
1. Fix it to the detecting position with a set screw by installing an auto
switch mounting bracket in cylinder tie-rod and letting the bottom sur-
face of an auto switch mounting bracket contact the cylinder tube firm-
ly. (Use a hexagon wrench.)
2. Fit an auto switch into the auto switch mounting groove to set it roughly
to the mounting position for an auto switch.
3. After confirming the detecting position, tighten up the mounting screw
attached to an auto switch, and secure the auto switch.
4. When changing the detecting position, carry out in the state of 2.
How to Mount and Move the Auto Switch
1. Slightly screw the hexagon socket head cap screw (M4 x 0.7 x 8 L) into
the M4 tapped portion of auto switch mounting bracket. (2 locations)
Use caution that the tip of the hexagon socket head cap screw should
not stick out to the concave portion of auto switch mounting bracket.
2. Put a hexagon socket head cap screw (M3 x 0.5 x 14 L) through the
auto switch's through-hole (2 locations), and then push it down into the
M3 tapped part on the auto switch mounting bracket while turning it
lightly.
3. Place the concave part of the auto switch mounting bracket into the cy-
linder tie-rod, and slide the auto switch mounting bracket in order to set
roughly to the detecting position.
4. After reconfirming the detecting position, tighten the M3 mounting
screw to secure the auto switch by making the bottom face of auto
switch attached to the cylinder tube. (Tightening torque of M3 screw
should be 0.5 to 0.7 N·m.)
5. Tighten up M4 screw of auto switch mounting bracket to secure the
auto switch mounting bracket. (Ensure that tightening torque of M4
screw should be set 1.0 to 1.2 N·m.)

Note 2) When using type D-Y7BAL, please order stainless steel screw set BBA1 sep-
arately (page 34), and use the stainless steel set screws, after selecting set
screws of the appropriate length for the cylinder series—as shown in the ta-
ble above.

∗To protect auto switches, ensure that main body of an auto switch should
be embedded into auto switch mounting groove with a depth of 15 mm or
more.
