Safety Instructions

1. The compatibility of the pneumatic equipment is the responsibility of the person who designs the pneumatic system or decides its specifications.Since the products specified here are used in various operating conditions, their compatibility for the specific pneumatic system must be based on specifications or post analysis and/or tests to meet the specific requirements. The expected performance and safety assurance are the responsibility of the person who has determined the compatibility of the system. This person should continuously review the suitability of all items specified, referring to the latest catalogue information with a view to giving due consideration to any possibility of equipment failure when configuring a system.

2. Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated machinery and equipment.Compressed air can be dangerous if handled incorrectly. Assembly, handling or repair of pneumatic systems should be performed by trained and experienced operators. (Understanding JIS B 8370 General Rules for Pneumatic Equipment, and other safety rules are included.)

3. Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove components until safety is confirmed.1. Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed once measures to prevent falling or runaway

of the driver objects have been confirmed. 2. When equipment is removed, confirm that safety process as mentioned above. Turn off the supply pressure for this equipment

and exhaust all residual compressed air in the system, and release all the energy (liquid pressure, spring, condenser, gravity).3. Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent quick extension of a cylinder piston rod, etc.

4. Contact SMC if the product will be used in any of the following conditions:1. Conditions and environments beyond the given specifications, or if product is used outdoors.2. Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railway, air navigation, vehicles, medical equipment, food and

beverages, recreation equipment, emergency stop circuits, clutch and brake circuits in press applications, or safety equipment.3. An application which has the possibility of having negative effects on people, property, or animals, requiring special safety analysis.4. If the products are used in an interlock circuit, prepare a double interlock style circuit with a mechanical protection function for

the prevention of a breakdown. And, examine the devices periodically if they function normally or not.

These safety instructions are intended to prevent a hazardous situation and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by labels of "Caution", "Warning" or "Danger". To ensure safety, be sure to observe ISO 4414 Note 1), JIS B 8370 Note 2) and other safety practices.

Note 1) ISO 4414: Pneumatic fluid power – General rules relating to systemsNote 2) JIS B 8370: General Rules for Pneumatic EquipmentNote 3) Injury indicates light wounds, burns and electrical shocks that do not require hospitalisation or hospital visits for long-term medical treatment.Note 4) Equipment damage refers to extensive damage to the equipment and surrounding devices.

Danger In extreme conditions, there is a possible result of serious injury or loss of life.

Warning Operator error could result in serious injury or loss of life.

Caution Operator error could result in injury Note 3) or equipment damage Note 4).

4) When the union nut is loose, tighten it additionally, tempora-rily by hand.

5) After fixing the body with the tightening tool, tighten the union nut by 1.5 turns, using an appropriate wrench. Shown below is the equivalent tightening torque.

When tightening the nut, the laser marking can be used for reference.

1. Do not use in locations where the connecting threads and tu-bing connection will slide or rotate. The connecting threads and tubing connection will come apart under these conditions.

2. Use tubing at or above the minimum bending radius. Using below the minimum bending radius can cause breakage or flattening of the tube.

3. Consult with SMC regarding fluids other than air, water andsteam.

4. In case of liquid fluids, keep surge pressure at or below the maximum operating pressure. If the surge pressure exceeds the maximum operating pressure, damage to the fittings and tubing may occur.

Selection

Caution

1. Before mounting, please confirm that the model, size, etc. are correct. In addition, please confirm that there are no blemishes, nicks or cracks in the product.

2. When tubing is connected, consider factors such as changes in the tubing length due to pressure, and give adequate spa-ce.

3. Mount so that the fittings and tubing are not subjected to strain or moment loads. This can cause damage to the fittings and flattening, bursting or disconnection of the tubing, etc.

4. Mount so that the tubing is not damaged due to tangling and abrasion. This can cause flattening, bursting or disconnection of the tubing, etc.

Mounting

Caution

1. Taper threadsWhen installing, tighten with the proper torque shown in the table below. As a rule, this corresponds to two or three turns with a tool after being tightened by hand.

2. Tightening toolsTighten with an appropriate wrench using the hexagon wrench flats on the body.Tighten by placing an appropriate wrench firmly against the fit-ting body. Position the wrench on the base as close as possi-ble to the threads. If the wrench size is not correct, the fitting body may be damaged.

CautionInstallation and Removal of Tubing

1. Installation of tubing1) Take a tube with no flaws on its periphery and cut it off at a

right angle. Do not use pinchers, nippers or scissors, etc. The tubing might be cut diagonally or flattened, making ins-tallation impossible or causing problems such as discon-nection and leakage.

2) Without loosening the union nut, grab the tube and gently push it thoroughly into the fitting.

3) After insertion, confirm that the tube will not disconnect.

1. Pre-maintenance inspectionWhen the product is to be removed, turn off the power, cut off the supply pressure, and confirm that fluid in the piping has been discharged.

2. During regular maintenance, check for the following and repla-ce any components as necessary.a) Scratches, gouges, abrasion, corrosionb) Leakagec) Flattening or distortion of tubingd) Hardening, deterioration or softness of tubing

3. Do not repair the fittings or patch the tubing for reuse.

4. Using this product for extended periods of time can result in leaks due to the material change. In such cases, perform adit-tional tightening to the unit nut.A guide for the additional tightening is 1/6 to 1/4 turns. The li-mit for additional tightening is 1/2 turns.When there is a leak even after additional tightening, replace the sleeve and union nuts with new ones.

5. Sleeve is not reusable. Replace it every time piping is perfor-med.Body and union nut are reusable. Refer to the table below for reusable life.

Maintenance

Caution1. Do not use in environments or locations where there is danger

of damage to the fittings and tubing.For fitting and tubing materials, refer to specifications and construction drawings, etc.

2. Do not operate in locations where vibration or impact occurs because this can cause leakage, damage to fittings, etc. Plea-se contact SMC regarding use in these environments.

Warning

1. Our product warranty is not valid if tubing brands other than that from SMC are used.
