No.D-※S-OMU0002-A
The description "Cylinder" or "actuator" indicates a cylinder, air gripper, rotary actuator, electrical actuator or
cylinder, etc.
Hereafter the "actuator position sensor" is described as the "position sensor".
Design and Selection
Warning
(1) Review the specifications.
If the product is used with an excessive load or used outside of the specifications, it may cause damage
or malfunction.
The product cannot be guaranteed if is used outside of the specification range.
(2) Caution for use in an interlock system
When the product is used in an interlock system which requires high reliability, provide a double interlock
system, for example a mechanical protection system, for extra safety, or by also using another switch
(sensor) together with the product.
Inspect the product periodically to confirm proper operation.
(3) Do not disassemble, modify (including changing the printed circuit board) or repair.
It may cause injury and/or an accident and will void the warranty.
Caution
(1) Take precautions when multiple actuators are used close together.
When using two or more cylinder or actuator with magnet built in close proximity to each other, maintain a
minimum separation distance of at least 40 mm. (If the separation distance is specified for the actuator
series, then use that value).
The product may malfunction due to magnetic field interference.
(2) Reserve a space for maintenance.
Design the system to allow the required space for maintenance.
(3) Never mount the cylinder/actuator in a location that will be used as a footrest.
If work personnel gets on or puts the work personnel’s foot on the footing accidentally, an excessive load
will be applied to the rotary table, causing the rotary actuator to break.
(4) Design the product to prevent reverse current when the circuit is open or the product is forced to
operate for operational checks.
Reverse current can cause product damage or malfunction.
(5) Limitations of the detection position
There will be mounting positions or surfaces where the product cannot be mounted due to physical
interference (e.g. rear side of the foot bracket), depending on the mounting conditions of the actuator.
Select the product after confirming that the product's mounting position does not interfere with the
mounting bracket (e.g. trunnion, reinforcement ring).
The position sensor might protrude out of the cylinder and it may not be possible to mount depending on
the cylinder bore size or stroke.
When the position is to be measured over the cylinder full stroke, use a cylinder with a stroke 5 mm
shorter than the sensor range.
Use a stroke reading cylinder when the full stroke cannot be detected by the position sensor.
(6) The wiring length should be kept to 20 m or less.
For long wire lengths, we recommend a ferrite core should be attached to both ends of the cable, to
reduce noise.
(7) Do not use a load which generates surge voltage.
When a load which generates a surge voltage is to be directly driven, operate such as a relay or solenoid,
use an auto switch with built-in surge protection.
(8) The output operation of the position sensor will be unstable for 150 ms after power is supplied.
During the time after supplying power, the input device (e.g. PLC, relay) may consider the ON position as
OFF output or the OFF position as ON output.
Please set up the application to consider the signals will be invalid within 150 ms after power is supplied.

No.D-※S-OMU0002-A
(9) Install a rotation stopper to the actuator piston rod.
Use a guide or select an SMC product with a rotation stopping function.
The accuracy may decrease without a rotation stopper.
With some cylinders, the magnet may rotate even when the piston rod does not rotate. The magnet
inside some cylinders with guide may rotate. Contact SMC for details.
(10) If the power is turned on while the magnet (target of detection) is out of the measurement
range, the analogue output indicates the lower limit value and switch output indicates logic
level low.
(Analogue current is 4[mA], analogue voltage is 0[V], switch output is ON for NPN output,
OFF for PNP output)
Analogue output and switch output will operate correctly by operating the cylinder at full stroke more
than once.
(11) Accuracy may decrease under the following operating conditions.
When warm up time is inadequate (10 to 15 minutes), play due to mechanical reason or floating joint
exists, or magnetic effect such as disturbance or magnetic substance (iron, screws) is present in the
operating environment.
It is recommended to use non-magnetic materials for surrounding parts.

Mounting and Adjustment

Caution
(1) Do not drop or apply impact.
Applying an excessive impact (more than 300 m/s2) may damage the product and cause malfunction.
(2) Observe the proper tightening torque for mounting.
If the screws are tightened in excessive of the specified torque range (0.2 to 0.4 Nm), it may damage the
cylinder/actuator, mounting screws, mounting brackets, and sensor etc.
Tightening below the specified tightening torque will allow the position sensor to move out of position.
(3) Do not carry an actuator by the position sensor lead wire.
This may cause a broken lead wires or damage to the auto switch internal elements.
(4) Use only the screws installed in the position sensor body for mounting the position sensor.
If other screws are used, the position sensor may be damaged.
(5) Check and adjust the actual product operation during installation.
The auto switch may not operate in the correct actuator mounting position due to the installation
environment.
Also check and adjust the auto switch operation when used in intermediate stroke positions, according to
the operating environment.

Wiring
Caution
(1) Check the insulation of the wiring.
Check that there is no faulty wiring insulation (short circuits, faulty ground connections, improper
insulation between terminals, etc.), as this may damage the auto switch due to over current.
(2) Do not route the auto switch wiring in the same place as power cables or high voltage cables.
Otherwise auto switch malfunction may result due to noise and inrush current.
(3) Avoid repeatedly bending or stretching the lead wire.
Broken lead wires will result if bending stresses or tensile forces are applied to the lead wires.
Stress and tensile forces applied to the connection between the lead wire and the product increases the
possibility of disconnection.
Secure the lead wire to reduce any movement in the area where the lead wire connects with the position
sensor.
(4) Be sure to shut off the user’s power supply before wiring.
Otherwise electric shock, malfunction or damage to the position sensor can result.
(5) Do not allow short-circuit of loads.
There is a risk of damage of position sensor.
(6) Wire correctly.
Incorrect wiring may cause malfunction or damage to the position sensor.

No.D-※S-OMU0002-A
Operating Environment
Warning
(1) Do not use the auto switch in the presence of explosive gases.
Position sensors are not designed with an explosion proof construction. Fire or an explosion may result.
Caution
(1) Do not use in a location where magnetic fields are generated.
The Position sensor will malfunction or the accuracy will be decreased.
(2) Do not use in an environment where the position sensor will be continually exposed to water or
condensation.
Although the product satisfies the IEC standard IP67 specifications, do not use in applications continually
exposed to water splashing or spray. Otherwise, insulation failure or malfunction may result.
(3) Do not use in an environment where oil or chemical splashes can occur.
If the products are used in an environment with coolants, cleaning solvents, oils or chemicals for even a
short time, they may be adversely affected by insulation failure, malfunction due to swelling of the potting
resin, or hardening of the lead wires.
(4) Do not use in an environment where there are cyclic temperature changes.
Heat cycles other than ordinary changes in temperature can adversely affect the position sensor.
(5) Avoid accumulation of iron debris or close contact with magnetic substances.
When a large amount of iron waste such as machining chips or spatter has accumulated, or a magnetic
substance (something attracted by a magnet) is brought into close proximity with the cylinder/actuator
with magnet built in, it may cause the position sensor to malfunction due to a weakening of the magnetic
force inside the actuator.
(6) Do not use in an area where surges are generated.
When there are units (solenoid lifter, high frequency induction furnace, motor, etc.) which generate a
large amount of surge in the area around the cylinder/actuator with position sensor, this may cause
damage to the position sensor internal circuit.
(7) Do not use in direct sunlight.
(8) Do not mount the auto switch in locations where it is exposed to radiant heat.
(9) The product is CE marked, but not immune to lightning strikes. Take measures against lightning
strikes in the system.
(10) Do not use the product in a welding environment.
The Position sensor will malfunction or the accuracy will be decreased.

Maintenance
Warning
(1) Removal of equipment, and exhausting the compressed air.
When components are removed, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent workpiece from
dropping, run-away equipment, etc. Then, cut the supply pressure and electric power, and exhaust all
compressed air from the system using the residual pressure release function.
When machinery is restarted, proceed with caution after confirming that appropriate measures are in place to
prevent cylinders from sudden movement.
(2) Never touch the terminals while the power is on.
Otherwise electric shock, malfunction or damage to the position sensor can result.
(3) Perform the following maintenance regularly to avoid possible danger due to unexpected position
sensor malfunction.
1) Securely tighten the position sensor mounting screws.
If screws become loose or the mounting, position is moved, retighten them after readjusting the
mounting position
2)Check that there is no damage to the lead wire.
If damage to the lead wire is found, replace the position sensor, or repair the lead wire, to avoid faulty
insulation.
Caution
(1) Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, alcohol etc. to clean the position sensor.
These can damage the surface of the body and erase the markings on the body.
For heavy stains, use a damp cloth that has been soaked with diluted neutral detergent and fully
squeezed, then wipe up the stains again with a dry cloth.

Mounting and Installation
■Installation
When mounting an actuator position sensor, use a mounting bracket appropriate for the cylinder/actuator.
The mounting method differs according to the type of actuator and the inner diameter of the tube.
When mounting a sensor for the first time, check that the cylinder/actuator has a built-in magnet and use
an appropriate bracket for the cylinder/actuator. There are also cases when a bracket is not needed.

Proper tightening torque

When tightening mounting screws, use a suitable hexagon wrench (1.5).
Mounting torque should be 0.2 to 0.4 Nm.
Over-tightening can damage the cylinder/actuator and sensor.
Loose screws can cause misalignment or a reduction in accuracy during operation.

Fit the switch down into the

cylinder/actuator’s switch mounting
groove.

Tighten the mounting screws evenly.
