Pneumatic safety

Depressurise the system!
– Switch off the compressed air supply before working on the circuit.
– Check the system with pressure measuring instruments to make sure that the entire circuit
is pressure-free.
– Please note that energy may be stored in pressure reservoirs.
Further information on this issue is available in the data sheets and operating
instructions included with the respective components.

Do not exceed the maximum permissible pressure of 600 kPa (6 bar).

Do not switch on the compressed air until all tubing connections have been completed and secured.

Do not disconnect tubing while under pressure.

Do not attempt to connect tubing or push-in connectors with your hands or fingers.

Risk of injury when switching compressed air on!
Cylinders may advance and retract automatically.

Risk of accident due to advancing cylinders!
– Always position pneumatic cylinders so that the piston's working space is unobstructed
over the entire stroke range.
– Make sure that the piston rod cannot collide with any rigid components of the setup.

Risk of accident due to tubing slipping off!
– Use shortest possible tubing connections.
– In the event that tubing slips off:
Switch off the compressed air supply immediately.

Pneumatic circuit setup:
Connect the devices with plastic tubing with an outside diameter of 4 or 6 mm. Push the tubing into the
push-in connector as far as it will go.

Switch off the compressed air supply before dismantling the circuit.

Dismantling the pneumatic circuit
Press the blue release ring down so that the tubing can be pulled out.

Noise due to escaping compressed air
– Noise caused by escaping compressed air may damage your hearing. Reduce noise
by using silencers, or wear hearing protection if noise cannot be avoided.
– All of the exhaust ports of the components included in the equipment set are equipped
with silencers. Do not remove these silencers.
