Settings For Both Sides; Care And Maintenance; Disassembly And Disposal; Disassembling The Cylinder - Emerson AVENTICS ITS Serie Betriebsanleitung

High mechanical cylinder load due to incorrect basic settings!
The cylinder may be damaged if the piston impacts without cushioning.
Always perform basic setting adjustment.

8.2.2 Settings for both sides

Fig. 5: Adjusting pneumatic cushioning
Cushioning always has to be adjusted on both sides of the cylinder. The order
does not matter.

1. Repeatedly move the piston from end position to end position. Pay attention
to the piston impact noise (hereinafter referred to as noise level) and the vi-
bration behavior (hereinafter referred to as moving mass) of the overall sys-
tem upon entering the cushioning phase.
ð The noise level is clearly audible.
ð The moving mass vibrates noticeably.
2. Slowly turn the throttle screws out. This lowers the cushioning.

3. Repeatedly move the piston from end position to end position. Pay attention
to the noise level of the piston impact and the vibration behavior of the mov-
ing mass:
ð The noise level increases.
ð The mass vibrates less during piston impact.
4. Continue slowly turning the throttle screws out. This lowers the cushioning
further. After every change to the throttle screws, move the piston from end
position to end position.
ð The noise level initially continues to increase, but then decreases signifi-
cantly.
ð The required number of turns for the two throttle screws can differ.
5. Repeat this process until you have achieved the ideal operating points for
both cushions. How to recognize the ideal operating points for both cushions:
• The piston impact is barely audible.
• The vibration of the mass is minimal.
If you now continue to turn out the throttle screws even further, you will abandon
the ideal operating points:
• The piston impact becomes louder.
• The vibration of the mass increases.
Turn the throttle screws in and return to the ideal operating points.

9 Care and Maintenance

Danger of explosion through overheating caused by dust deposits!
The accumulation of dust can cause the product to overheat. The surface can
no longer cool down and is heated at an uncontrollable rate. The resulting heat
build-up presents an explosion hazard. Dust clouds can lead to explosions.
Regularly remove dust deposits. Set binding cleaning intervals.
u
Danger of burns caused by hot surfaces!
Touching the surfaces of the product during operation could cause burns.
1. Let the product cool off before working on it.
2. Do not touch the product during operation.
Damage to the surface caused by solvents and aggressive detergents!
The seals on the product may age faster under aggressive ambient conditions.
Never use solvents or aggressive detergents.
u
1. Make sure that all relevant system parts are not under voltage or pressure.
2. Clean the cylinder at regular intervals only using a slightly moist cloth. Only
use water to do this and, if necessary, a mild detergent.
The cylinder has a lifetime lubrication and is thus maintenance-free.
However, the system-specific maintenance intervals must be observed.

10 Disassembly and disposal

10.1 Disassembling the cylinder

Danger of burns caused by hot surfaces!
Touching the surfaces of the product during operation could cause burns.
1. Let the product cool off before working on it.
2. Do not touch the product during operation.
1. With a vertical installation: move the piston into the lower end position.
2. Secure the useful load.
3. Make sure the relevant system part is without pressure and voltage. Slowly
ventilate the system to avoid uncontrolled piston movements.
4. Remove the useful load from the piston rod.
5. Remove the pneumatic connections.
6. Remove the ground connection.
ð The cylinder can now be taken out of the bracket and removed.

10.2 Cylinder disposal

Careless disposal of the cylinder will lead to pollution of the environment. Fur-
thermore, the materials can no longer be recycled.
