Suction Cup / Specific Product Precautions
Be sure to read this before handling the products. Refer to the back cover for safety instructions. For vacuum equipment precautions, refer to the "Handling Precautions for SMC Products" and the "Operation Manual" on the SMC website: https://www.smcworld.com

Design
1. Before use, please check the transfer conditions with the customer's actual equipment. The transfer ability varies depending on the workpiece material, the friction between the cup and workpiece, moment, wind, vibration, etc. Testing with the customer's actual equipment is necessary.
2. The retainer type can be directly inserted into the holes of a flexible mounting part such as a resin belt for use. (Example) Bread depanner

Handling
1. Suction cups are consumable. Please replace them when cracks or deformation is confirmed during periodic maintenance.
2. The coloring of the cup may be uneven. Due to the characteristics of the materials, the coloring of the cup surface may be uneven. However, this does not affect the performance of the product in any way.
3. Be sure to use under pressure and operating conditions that won't cause the suction cup to collapse inward. Constant deformation may result in suction failure or early breakage of the cup.

Mounting

1. When mounting the product, tighten with the tightening torque shown in the table below.

If excessive or insufficient tightening torque is applied, sealing

failure or loose screws may result.

2. Refer to the figure below for the recommended mounting belt dimensions for the retainer type as well as a mounting example.
How easy it is to mount or pull out the retainer depends on the belt hardness and material. Therefore, be sure to confirm the mounting conditions on the actual equipment before using the product.

2. Only personnel with appropriate training should operate machinery and equipment.
The product specified here may become unsafe if handled incorrectly. The assembly, operation and maintenance of machines or equipment including our products must be performed by an operator who is appropriately trained and experienced.
3. Do not service or attempt to remove product and machinery/ equipment until safety is confirmed.
1. The inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed after measures to prevent falling or runaway of the driven objects have been confirmed.
2. When the product is to be removed, confirm that the safety measures as mentioned above are implemented and the power from any appropriate source is cut, and read and understand the specific product precautions of all relevant products carefully.
3. Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent unexpected operation and malfunction.
4. SMC products cannot be used beyond their specifications. They are not developed, designed, and manufactured to be used under the following conditions or environments. Use under such conditions or environments is not allowed.
1. Conditions and environments outside of the given specifications, or use outdoors or in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Use for nuclear power, railways, aviation, space equipment, ships, vehicles, military application, equipment affecting human life, body, and property, combustion equipment, entertainment equipment, emergency shut-off circuits, press clutches, brake circuits, safety equipment, etc., and use for applications that do not conform to standard specifications such as catalogs and operation manuals.
3. Use for interlock circuits, except for use with double interlock such as installing a mechanical protection function in case of failure. Please periodically inspect the product to confirm that the product is operating properly.

SMC develops, designs, and manufactures products to be used for automatic control equipment, and provides them for peaceful use in manufacturing industries. Use in non-manufacturing industries is not allowed.
