Mounting
! Caution
(1) Tube, other than coil tube, should be used for static piping.
For example, if a flexible moving tube is used, it may become worn, elongated, disconnected from the
fitting, or torn due to tensile forces. Before using, ensure the tube is in a static condition at all times.
After installation and maintenance, apply air supply to the equipment and perform appropriate
functional and leakage inspections to verify the equipment is mounted properly.
(2) Transportation, installation, piping, wiring, operation, handling, and maintenance
should be performed by personnel with sufficient knowledge and experience.
There is a risk of injury.
(3) Do not disassemble or modify the product.
This may cause human injury and/or an accident. Please contact SMC for repair and maintenance of
the product.
(4) Do not wipe the product using chemicals.
Piping
! Caution
(1) One-touch fitting installation
Refer to the Fittings and Tubing Precautions (Best Pneumatics No.7) for handling One-touch fittings.
(2) 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.
(3) Piping to product
When piping to the product, refer to the symbols and labels on the product to avoid mistakes in the
position of the supply port, etc.
(4) Secure sufficient tubing length for connection.
Allow a sufficient margin of tube length when piping to prevent twisting, tensile, or moment loads being
applied to the tubes and fittings. This can cause damage to the tube fittings and crushing, bursting or
disconnection of tubing.
(5) Bending of tube
Ensure that the tube connected to the product is sufficient, such that it satisfies the required minimum
bending radius. A bending radius less than the minimum required may cause folding of the tubing,
which will restrict proper air flow through the tubing.
