Designing Arms
Caution
When arms are to be made separately, their length and mass should be within the following range.
1. Allowable bending moment
2. Moment of inertia
Use the arm length and operating pressure within Graph (1) for
allowable bending moment loaded piston rod.
Graph (1)
When the arm is long and heavy, damage of internal parts may be
caused due to inertia. Use the moment of inertia and cylinder
speed within Graph (2) based on arm requirements.

Caution
1. Do not use the cylinder under the following environments:
An area in which fluids such as cutting oil splash on the piston rod
An area in which foreign matter such as particles, cutting chips, or dust is present
An area in which the ambient temperature exceeds the operating range
An area exposed to direct sunlight
An environment that poses the risk of corrosion
2. A cylinder could malfunction or the non-rotating accuracy could be affected if a rotational force is
applied to the piston rod. Therefore, observe the particulars given below before operating the cylinder.
1) Make sure to mount the cylinder vertically (Fig. (1)).
2) Do not absolutely perform any work (such as clamping or acting as a stopper, etc.) in the rotary direction (Fig. (2)).
3) To clamp, make sure to do so within the clamp stroke (straight-line stroke) (Fig. (3)).
4) Make sure that the clamping surface of the workpiece is perpendicular to the cylinder's axial line (Fig. (4)).
5) Do not operate the cylinder in such a way that an external force causes the workpiece to move while being clamped (Fig. (5)).
6) Furthermore, do not operate the cylinder in an application in which a rotational force will be applied to the piston rod.
1) Do not operate the cylinder horizontally.
When using the cylinder horizontally, use the MK2T series.
2) Do not perform any work in the rotary direction.
Fig. (2)
Fig. (1)
3) Do not clamp during the rotary stroke. Clamp should be performed within the clamp stroke.

If one side of the piston is pressurized by supplying

air with the clamp arm attached, the piston will move
vertically while the clamp arm rotates.
This operation could be hazardous to personnel, as their hands
or feet could get caught by the clamp arm, or could lead to equipment damage. Therefore, it is important to secure as a danger
zone a cylindrical area with the length of the clamp arm as its radius, and the stroke plus 20 mm as its height.
Clamp Arm Mounting and Removal
Caution
When the arm is mounted onto or removed from the
piston rod, do not fix the cylinder body, but hold the
arm with a spanner when tightening or loosening the
bolt (Fig. 1).
If the bolt is tightened with the cylinder body fixed, excessive rotation force will be applied to the piston rod, which may damage the
internal components.
Note that when making an arm, machine it so that it engages with
the width across flats on the rod end to prevent it from rotating.

Caution
When a Magnetic Body Surrounds the
Cylinder
With Magnetic Field Resistant Auto Switch

D-P3DWL
When a magnetic body surrounds the cylinder as shown in the figure below (including when the magnetic body is only on one side of
the cylinder), the movement of the auto switch may become unstable, so please contact SMC.
If welding cables or welding gun electrodes are in the vicinity of the

cylinder, the magnets in the cylinder could be affected by the external magnetic fields. (Please contact SMC if the welding amperage
exceeds 16000 A.) If the source of strong magnetism comes in contact with the cylinder or an auto switch, make sure to install the cylinder away from the source of the magnetism.
If the cylinder is to be used in an environment in which spatter will
come in direct contact with the lead wires, cover the lead wires with
a protective tube. For the protective tube, use a tube I.D. 7 or
more, which excels in heat resistance and flexibility.
Please contact SMC if an inverter welder or a DC welder will be
used.

When two switches

are connected in parallel, malfunction may
occur because the
load voltage will increase in the OFF
state.
Because there is no
leakage current, the
load voltage will not increase in the OFF state.
However, depending on
the number of switches
in the ON state, the indicator lights may sometimes dim or not light
because of the dispersion and reduction of
the current flowing to
the switches.
