3 Precautions Be sure to read before handling. Refer to p.- and - for Safety Instructions and common precautions on the products mentioned in this catalog. Common Precautions Warning Warning Sizing qproducts mentioned in this catalog are not designed for the use as stop valve with zero air leakage. Products specification allows for a small amount of air leakage. Mounting qcheck that the lock nut is tightened. A loose lock nut may cause actuator speed changes. wconfirm the degree of rotation of the needle valve. Products mentioned in this catalog are retainer type so that the needle is not removed completely. Over rotation will cause damage. econfirm air flow direction. If mounted in the wrong direction, the speed adjustment needle may not function and may cause uncontrolled extension of the piston rod. radjust needle by opening the needle slowly after having closed it completely. Loose needle valves may cause unexpected sudden actuator extension. When needle valve is turned clockwise, it is closed and cylinder speed decreases. When needle valve is turned counter clockwise, it is open and cylinder speed increases. Warning Series -F, FE, FG, FM Selection qconfirm adverse effect of PTFE PTFE powder (tetrafluoroethylene resin) is included in sealant. Confirm if the use of it may cause any adverse effect in the system. Mounting qto install/remove the Flow Control Equipment, tighten/loosen at wrench flat B as close to the thread as possible using the appropriate wrench. Do not apply torque at other points as the product may be damaged. Rotate Body A manually for positioning after installation. wdo not use universal type fittings for applications involving continuous rotation. It may cause failure of the fittings. Male thread M /-UNF /8 / /8 / Screw Torque qsuitable torque for tightening fittings is shown in the table below. For standard installation, turn to turns using tool after fastening by hand. Take care not to damage the product by over torque. Suitable screw torque (Nm) / /6 7 to 9 to to 8 to Hexagonal width (mm) Tightening torque for lock nuts Adjustable spanner nominal (mm) 5 Nm=.kgf/cm qsuitable screw torque for a hexagon lock nut is shown in the table below.

Series N Mounting Residual pressure behind the exhaust needle may cause check valve malfunctioning. qif installing flow controls to valve ports, interference may occur with the fittings. Please consult the catalog before installing. Flow Control Equipment (Reference) Recommended circuit for retraction at high speeds. When extended speed is low speed and retracted speed is required high speed, below circuit with port is recommended.

5 Flow Control Equipment Flow Control Equipment Precautions Series S Selection quse meter-out controlling type after confirming the initial speed to prevent sudden actuator extension. Due to its specifications, the extension preventing function does not have speed control capability so that adjustments are limited. Use the meter-in controlling type if desired speed is less than set speed. wcircuit pressure remaining in cylinder is not usable. Extension prevention works when pressure has been exhausted in cylinder. Therefore, prevent the extension by meter-in control using a speed controller in such a case. Mounting qinstall Actuator and SSC valve as close as possible. Extensions prevention in the initial operation and standard speed control may not function. wdo not use for relatively small capacity actuators. i.e. short stroke cylinders (less than mm), rotary actuators, etc. SSC valve may not properly operate. euse in load factor less than 5%. Speed control on normal operations may not function..-5

20 Series S Prevents accidents caused by the cylinder rod sudden extensions If pressure is applied only to one side of the cylinder, the rod could get out of control, leading to accidents that could involve injury to humans or damage to the product or jigs. The meter-out type SSC valve prevents the sudden extensions by effecting meter-in control when there is no pressure, and resumes the ordinary meter-out control after the cylinder has been pressurized. With the meter-in type, there is no risk of sudden extensions because the cylinder speed is constantly under meter-in control. System circuit Meter-out Graph/Pressure to time Meter-in Graph/Pressure to time Pressure Stroke Movement of the cylinder by fixed throttle valve Delay in pressure transmission PR (Atmospheric pressure) Movement of the cylinder by speed control valve Pressure Stroke PH Movement of the cylinder by meter control PR (Atmospheric pressure) Delay in pressure transmission During the operating stroke at initial actuation, the cylinder moves at a slow speed from A to B due to the fixed throttle of the SSC valve. When it reaches B, the head pressure (PH) rises quickly as indicated by the line from C to D. Therefore, there is no time loss associated with the pressure transmission lag indicated by the line from C to E, as in the case of meter-in control that is effected through the use of a speed controller. During normal operation after the cylinder has been pressurized, the cylinder's speed control is effected by the ordinary meter-out control. Due to meter-in control, the cylinder moves from A to B regardless of whether it is an initial operation or a normal operation. When it reaches B, the head pressure (PH) rises quickly as indicated by the line from C to D. Therefore, there is no time loss associated with the pressure transmission lag indicated by the line from C to E, as in the case of meter-in control that is effected through the use of a speed controller. During normal operation after the cylinder has been pressurized, the cylinder's speed control is effected also by the ordinary meter-in control.

21 Series S Meter-out Control/Operation Principles During primary operation (Piston rod extension prevention) During normal operation Setting pressure for piston valve Fig. A Pressure in the cylinder Setting pressure for piston valve in the cylinder <Stroke end> > < Pressure When air is supplied to the exhausted cylinder, the air causes the valve to close. Also, because the piston valve is fully closed due to the cylinder's low internal pressure, air is supplied gradually through the piston valve and the fixed throttle of the check valve. Therefore, the cylinder operates slowly under meter-in control. Fig. B As the piston moves and reaches the end of its stroke, the internal pressure in the cylinder rises. When this pressure becomes higher than the set pressure of the piston valve, the piston valve opens fully. Then, the air from the switching valve feeds rapidly into the cylinder by opening the check valve. Fig. C Because the pressure in the cylinder is higher than the set pressure, the air from the switching valve causes the piston valve to open fully and feeds rapidly into the cylinder by opening the check valve. Therefore, meter-out control of the cylinder speed is effected by the speed control valve in the exhaust conduit, regardless of the state of the SSC valve. Fig. D Because the check valve closes due to the internal pressure of the cylinder, the air in the cylinder passes through the valve and discharges through the switching valve. Thus, meter-out control of the cylinder speed is effected by the opening of the valve, which is adjusted by the set needle.

Fig. C The air that has been supplied by the switching valve closes the check valve. Also, because the cylinder's internal pressure is lower than the set pressure, the piston valve closes fully, causing the air to be supplied gradually via the throttle of the set needle. Therefore, meter-out control of the cylinder speed is effected by the SSC valve, regardless of the state of the speed control valve in the exhaust conduit of the cylinder (Fig. C). Also, as the piston moves and reaches the end of its stroke, the internal pressure in the cylinder rises, causing the piston valve to open fully, and the air feeds rapidly into the cylinder (Fig. B). Fig. D The air in the cylinder initially opens the piston valve and the check valve and discharges rapidly through the switching valve. The fully opened piston valve closes as shown in Fig. D when the pressure in the cylinder is lower than the set pressure. Then the air passes through the check valve and becomes discharged (Fig. D). Thus, meter-in control of the cylinder speed is effected by the speed control valve of the supply conduit..6-
