Clamp roddirection● Do not forcibly turn the rod with tools such as a wrench.
● Use the ﬂow control valve to adjust the 90-deg turning speed to be 0.5sec and over.
● Turning the clamp rod manually or turning it too fast may damage the cam inside the air cylinder.
● To operate use a 2-position type of double solenoid valve.
● The air blowing from connection port prevents foreign substances from entering and obstructing the cylinder.
