Caution
1. Make sure that the surface on which the cylinder is
to be mounted is flat (reference value for flatness:
0.05 or less).
Dual rod cylinders can be mounted from 3 directions,
however, make sure that the surface on which the cylinder is
to be mounted is flat (reference value for flatness: 0.05 or
less). Otherwise, the accuracy of the piston rod operation is
not achieved, and malfunctioning can occur.
2. Piston rod must be retracted when mounting the
cylinder.
Scratches or gouges in the piston rod may lead to damaged
bearings and seals and cause malfunctions or air leakage.
1. Plug the appropriate supply port(s) according to the
operating conditions.
Dual-rod cylinders have 2 supply ports for each operating
direction (3 supply ports for ø6 only). Plug the appropriate
supply port according to the operating conditions. However,
when switching the plugged port, verify air leakage. If small air
leakage is detected, order the below plugs, and ressemble it.

1. After adjusting the stroke, make sure to tighten the
hexagon nut to prevent it from loosening.
Dual rod cylinders have a bolt to adjust 0 to –5 mm strokes on
the retracted end (IN).
Loosen the hexagon nut to adjust the stroke; however, make
sure to tighten the hexagon nut after making an adjustment.
2.
Never operate a cylinder with its bumper bolt removed.
Also, do not attempt to tighten the bumper bolt
without using a nut.
If the bumper bolt is removed, the piston hits the head cover
causing damage to the cylinder. Therefore, do not use a
cylinder without a bumper bolt.
Furthermore, if the bumper bolt is tightened without a nut, the
piston seal is caught in the leveled part, damaging the seal.

A bumper at the end of the bumper bolt is replaceable.
In case a missing bumper, or a bumper has a permanent
settling, use following part numbers for ordering.

Disassembly and Maintenance
1. Never use a cylinder with its plate removed.
When removing the hexagon socket head cap screw on the
end plate, the piston rod must be secured to prevent from
rotating. However, if the sliding parts of the piston rod are
scratched and gouged, a malfunction may occur. If the plate is
not required for your application, use the cylinder that does not
come with a plate, available through made-to-order (-X593) on
page 674.
2.
When disassembling and reassembling the cylinder,
please contact SMC or refer to the separate instruction
manual.
1.
Do not operate the cylinder in a pressurized environment.
The pressurized air may flow inside the cylinder due to its
construction.
2.
Do not use as a stopper. This may cause malfunction.
When using as a stopper, select a stopper cylinder
(Series RS) or a compact guide cylinder (Series
MGP).
1. When CXS6 is operated at a low speed, adjust the
speed with an IN/OUT control by installing two dual
speed controllers due to the small cylinder
capacity. This can prevent the cylinder from
ejecting.
Warning
1. Take precautions when your hands are near the
plate and housing.
Take sufficient care to avoid getting your hands or fingers
caught when the cylinder is operated.
