Operating Environment
Use in an environment where liquid (water, oil, coolant, etc.)
splashes on the product may result in a malfunction; therefore, if
using in such an environment, be sure to take measures such as
installing a waterproof, dust-proof cover, etc. (CE1)

1. When screwing a nut or fitting, etc. onto the threaded section at
the end of the piston rod, return the piston rod to its fully
retracted position, and grasp the exposed portion of the rod
across two parallel sides with a wrench. In the case of the high
precision stroke reading cylinder, there are no parallel sides.
Secure the workpiece with a double nut.
Note) Do not apply rotational torque to the piston rod.
2. Operate the cylinder in such a way that the load is always
applied in the axial direction.
• In case the load is applied in a direction other than the axial
direction of the cylinder, provide a guide to constrain the load
itself.
• When mounting a cylinder, centering should be done carefully.
3. Avoid using the air cylinder in such a way that rotational torque
would be applied to the piston rod.
4. Be careful to avoid scratches or dents, etc. on the sliding
sections of the piston rod.
1.
The sensor unit is adjusted to an appropriate position at the time of
shipment. Therefore, never detach the sensor unit from the body.
2. The sensor cable should not be pulled with a strong force.
3. Since the sensor for stroke reading cylinder adopts the magnetic
method, it may result in malfunction if there is a strong magnetic
field around the sensor. Use it under the external magnetic field
with 14.5 mT or less.
This is equivalent to a magnetic field of approximately 18 cm in radius from a
welding area using a welding amperage of almost 15,000 amperes. To use
the system in a magnetic field that exceeds this value, use a magnetic
material to shield the sensor unit.
4. Switches or relays, etc. should not be installed in the power
supply line (12 to 24 VDC).

When the stroke reading cylinder is used near a motor, welding
machine or other source of noise generation, there is a possibility of
miscounting. In this case, noise should be suppressed as much as
possible and the following countermeasure should be taken.
1. Connect the shield wire to FG (flame ground).
2. The maximum transmission distance for the stroke reading
cylinder is 23 m, but since the output signal is a pulse output, the
sensor cable should be wired separately from other power lines.
1. Connect only the shield wire to FG (frame ground).
2. Use a power source separate from large motors and AC valves,
etc.
3. Run the stroke reading cylinder’s cable away from other power
lines.
4. Install a noise filter in the 100 VAC power line, a varistor in the
DC power supply of the sensor cable and a ferritic core in the
signal line (sensor cable).
Methods of dealing with noise are given below.

If sources of noise generation
(motors, AC type valves,
relays, etc.) are connected on
the secondary side of the
noise filter, the filter will have
no effect.
<Counting speed of counter>
When the speed of the stroke reading cylinder is greater than the
counting speed of the counter, the counter will miscount.
For CE1 (when measuring to 0.1 mm), a counter should be used
with a counting speed of 10 kHz (kcps) or more.
And for CEP1 (when measuring to 0.01 mm), use a counter with a
counting speed of 50 kHz (kcps) or more when 4 times
multiplication is input.
<Malfunction due to lurching and bounding>
When lurching or bounding occurs at the beginning or end of stroke
reading cylinder, or due to other causes, the cylinder speed
momentarily increases, and there is a possibility of exceeding the
counting speed of the counter or the response speed of the sensor,
thereby causing a miscount.
The operation manuals should be read before using the CEP1 series
high precision stroke reading cylinder, CEU5 multi counter, CE1
scale cylinder and CEU1 3 point preset counter.
