Installation Steps and Maintenance

  1. Confirm bore size and stroke length based on the automation task requirement.

  2. Choose an appropriate mounting method suitable for the system layout.

  3. Connect pneumatic tubing using clean, regulated air supply to prevent contamination.

  4. If equipped with magnetic sensors, securely connect wiring and test sensor output.

  5. Adjust cushioning settings to optimize stroke smoothness and reduce wear.

  6. Periodically inspect seals, piston rods, and cylinder body for leakage or damage.

  7. Perform lubrication as directed by manufacturer guidelines, especially in high-cycle environments.

  8. Maintain cleanliness around the cylinder to avoid foreign material interference.
