MGPM20-40Z Compact Guide Cylinder Double acting SMC Pneumatic Air Cylinder

Mounting

Warning

1. Never place your hands or fingers between the plate and the body. Be very careful to prevent your hands or fingers from getting caught in the gap between the cylinder body and the plate when air is applied.

Caution

1. Use cylinders within the piston speed range.

An orifi ce is set for this cylinder, but the piston speed may exceed the operating range if the speed controller is not used. If the cylinder is used outside the operating speed range, it may cause damage to the cylinder and shorten the service life. Adjust the speed by installing the speed controller and use the cylinder within the limited range.

2. Pay attention to the operating speed when the product is mounted vertically.

When using the product in the vertical direction, if the load factor is large, the operating speed can be faster than the control speed of the speed controller (i.e. quick extension). In such cases, it is recommended to use a dual speed controller.

3. Do not scratch or gouge the sliding portion of the piston rod and the guide rod.

Damaged seals etc. will result in leakage or malfunction.

4. Do not dent or scratch the mounting surface of the body and the plate.

The flatness of the mounting surface may not be maintained, which would cause an increase in sliding resistance.

5. Make sure that the cylinder mounting surface has a fl atness of 0.05 mm or less.

If the flatness of the workpieces and brackets mounted on the plate is not appropriate, sliding resistance may increase. If it is diffi cult to maintain a fl atness of 0.05 or less, put a thin shim ring (prepared by user) between the plate and workpiece mounting surface to prevent the sliding resistance from increasing.
