*1: The cylinder port size of 3/8 is the value for when equipped with a sub-plate.
*2: Based on JIS B 8419:2010 (The value shown is when supply pressure is 0.5 MPa when equipped with an indicator light / surge voltage suppressor, and when using clean air. The values may change depending on the pressure and air. ) Double type value when ON.
*3: The table shows models without a sub-plate. When equipped with a sub-plate, add 0.41 kg for the plug-in type.

Precautions

Single-action fitting replacement method

*The single-action fittings of cylinder ports are a cassette type that can be easily replaced.
*Fittings are retained with clips. After removing the valve, use a flathead precision screwdriver, etc., to remove the clips and replace the fitting.
*To mount, insert the fitting as deeply as possible before inserting the clips to the specified position.
Be sure to read the individual product cautions before use.
*See the manufacturer's catalog for product information other than the above.
