Warning
Warning
1. Tighten the screw within the specified torque range when mounting the
air gripper.
Tightening with a torque above the limit can cause malfunction, while insufficient
tightening can cause slippage and dropping.

(Note) Even in cases where the coefficient of friction is greater than = 0.2, for safety reasons, SMC recommends selecting a gripping
force which is at least 10 to 20 times the workpiece weight.
It is necessary to allow a greater safety margin for high accelerations and strong impacts, etc.

Series IDK
When operating an actuator with a small diameter
and a short stroke at a high frequency, the dew
condensation (water droplet) may occur inside the
piping depending on the conditions.
Simply connecting the moisture control tube to the
actuator will prevent dew condensation from occurring. For details, refer to Series IDK in the
WEB catalog.

Note 1) It is recommended to grip a workpiece when the fingers are in parallel with each other.
Note 2) When holding a workpiece close at the end of open/close stroke of fingers, detecting performance of the combinations listed in the above
table may be limited, depending on the hysteresis of an auto switch, etc.

(1) To set the auto switch, insert the auto switch into the installation
groove of the cylinder as shown below and set it roughly.
(2) Insert the auto switch into the auto switch bracket installation groove.
(3) After confirming the detecting position, tighten the set screws (M2.5)
attached t theauto switch and set it.
(4) Be sure to change the detecting position in the state of (2).

Note) Use a screwdriver with a grip diameter of 5 to 6 mm to tighten the set screws
(M2.5).
The tightening torque should be 0.05 to 1 Nm.
As a guide, it should be turned about 90 beyond the point at which tightening
can be felt.
When auto switch is set on the mounting side as shown below, allow at
least 2 mm run off space on mounting late since the auto switch is
protruded from the gripper edge.
