Precautions for Design
Warning
1) Carefully consider the application, required specifications, and operating conditions (pressure, flow
rate, temperature, environment and power supply) in accordance with the latest catalog (SMC
website), making sure not to exceed the specification range.
2) Consult SMC if no leakage is allowed due to the environment, or if the operating fluid is not air.
3) This product cannot be used in the following environments.
- Atmosphere containing corrosive gas, organic solvent, or chemical agent solution is, or a location
where any of these substances is attached.
- Atmosphere containing with sea water or water or containing steam, or a location where any of
these substances is attached.
- Locations subject to direct sunlight (Block direct sunlight to the product to prevent deterioration due
to ultraviolet rays or temperature rise).
- Where the product is exposed to heat sources or in areas that the product is exposed to radiant
heat.
- Where impact or vibration is present.
- In a location with high humidity and a large quantity of dust.
- Outdoor.
- Mounting on vehicle or vessel (The product may be damaged due to excessive vibration).
4) For air blow applications, prevent airborne particles from the operating environment entering into the
compressed air stream, or foreign matter may adhere to the workpiece during the air blow.
5) If the air equipment is mounted on the outlet of the product, particles will be generated from the
equipment and required cleanliness may not be obtained. Instead, install the air equipment at the
inlet.
Caution
1) Applications in which the difference between the inlet and outlet pressure exceeds 0.1MPa must be
avoided. Or the element is broken.
2) The activated carbon filter (AMK series) adsorbs oil vapor contained in the compressed air and
removes the odors derived from it, but does not remove all odors.
Selection
Warning
1) Grease is used on the internal seal. If this is not acceptable, please consult SMC.
2) Select the model so that the maximum discharge value (instantaneous) of the flow rate will not
exceed the rated air capacity. If the flowrate exceeds the maximum air flow capacity, the activated
carbon will not be able to adsorb properly, it may cause deterioration in the performance.
Caution
1) Do not use the product with low air pressure (e.g. for blower). This product is dedicated for
compressed air whose minimum operating pressure is specified depending on the equipment. If the
product is operated at a pressure lower than the minimum operating pressure, it may cause
deterioration in the performance or malfunction.

- 5 -
Installation
Warning
1) Do not drop or apply impact during transportation or installation. It will cause damage to the product
and result in operation failure.
2) Do not install in areas of high humidity or high temperature. Operation outside of the product
specification range may cause damage to the product or operation failure, or shorten the product life.
3) Connect the product ensuring the direction of arrow or "1"(IN) and "2"(OUT) ports for air direction or
an arrow. Incorrect connections may cause malfunction.
4) Install with adequate space for maintenance beneath the product. Refer to [11. Dimensions] (page
16) for necessary space.
Piping
Warning
1) Before piping, perform flushing or cleaning of the piping, etc. to remove any cutting chips, cutting oil,
solid foreign matter, etc. from the piping. Contamination of piping may cause damage or malfunction.
2) When screwing together pipes and fittings, etc., be certain that chips from the pipe threads and
sealant do not get inside the pipe. When a sealant tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 thread ridges exposed
at the end of the threads.
3) Connect piping/fittings using the recommended torque while holding the female thread side tightly.
Insufficient tightening torque can cause loose piping or sealing failure. Excess tightening torque may
cause damage to threads. If the female side is not held while tightening, excessive force will be
applied to the bracket directly, causing breakage.
Recommended tightening torque (Unit: N m)
Thread size 3/4 1
Torque 28 to 30 36 to 38
4) Before screwing-in an SMC fitting or S coupler, please refer to "Tightening the threaded portion of
the connection thread" section of the Fitting & Tubing Precautions.
5) Do not apply torsion or bending moment other than the weight of the product itself. External piping
needs to be supported separately as it may cause damage. Non-flexible piping like steel tube is
susceptible to excessive moment load or vibration. Insert flexible tubes to prevent this.

- 6 -
Air Source
Warning
1) Use clean air. Do not use compressed air containing chemicals, organic solvent, synthetic oil or
corrosive gas as it may be cause of breakage of components or operation failure.
2) Air containing too much moisture may deteriorate the performance. Install the refrigerated air dryer
or aftercooler before the activated carbon filter.
3) Make sure that the supply pressure is not below the minimum operating pressure. If it is used at the
minimum operating pressure or less, pressure resistance increases, leading to the decrease of
operation life or operation failure.
Caution
1) On the inlet side of the activated carbon filter, install a micro mist separator (AMD series) as a
pre-filter to eliminate oil droplets and oil aerosol.
Maintenance
Warning
1) Release the pressure in the product to the atmosphere when replacing parts or removing piping.
2) Maintenance and checks should be done by following the procedure in the operation manual.
Incorrect handling of the product may cause breakage or operation failure of the equipment or
device.
3) Do not touch the product when operating at high temperature (40 to 60oC). The operators may get
burnt. Be sure to confirm that the temperature of the container or operating part is reduced to 40 oC
or less to prevent burns.
4) Periodically check the bowl internal surface for dirt. If any dirt is observed, clean the bowl interior
with neutral detergent for household used to remove the foreign matters and oil content.
Accumulation of foreign matters and scale causes the performance to drop.
5) Replace the element before 1 year or 2000 operating hours passed from start of use as it may
deteriorate the performance.
The replacement period of the element varies depending on the operating conditions. Even before
the aforementioned replacement period is reached, replace the element if oil smell comes out from
the outlet side.
Caution
1) Check the element periodically and replace it with a new one if necessary. If it is found that outlet
pressure drops or the flow is restricted, check the condition of the element.

2. Application
This product aims at eliminating oil vapor in the air line.
3. Standard specifications
Note 1) Conditions in accordance with below and in addition to the conditions above.
- AMD is mounted on the inlet.
- Flow capacity, inlet pressure, and the amount of oil concentration at the filter inlet are stable.
- New element.
Note 2) Inlet pressure: 0.7 MPa. Flow at 20°C, atmospheric pressure, and 65% of relative humidity.
The compressed air quality class on the inlet side is [1:4:2].
Note 3) Based on ISO8573-1:2010 Compressed air - Part1: Contaminants and purity classes.
