Environmental Requirements for Pneumatic Systems

General Notes

When operating in environments containing corrosive gases, chemicals (e.g., organic solvents), seawater, water, or water vapor, or in locations where such substances adhere, conditional use is permissible—provided that seals, valve bodies, and other components in contact with the medium are replaced with materials tailored to the specific medium.

Avoid deployment in explosive gas atmospheres. (If operation is necessary, explosion-proof measures must be incorporated into the design.)

Do not use in vibration- or shock-prone environments unless the vibration and shock resistance of all pneumatic components meets the specifications outlined in the product datasheet. Avoid use near heat sources or in areas exposed to radiant heat; if unavoidable, implement radiant heat shielding measures.

Cautionary Notes

In areas exposed to direct sunlight, install protective enclosures to shield the system from solar radiation.

Appropriate protective measures must be adopted when operating in high-humidity, high-dust environments, or locations where water droplets, oil droplets, cutting fluid, or coolant are present.

Magnetic cylinders are not suitable for use in strong magnetic field environments.

Warnings

For operation in extreme temperature environments:

High-temperature environments: Utilize high-temperature-resistant sealing components.

Low-temperature environments: Water in the pneumatic circuit may freeze, leading to operational failure. In such cases, thorough water removal must be performed to prevent freezing.
