Note 1) The temperature 80C includes temperature rise during rotation.
Note 2) The start-up torque does not change with the supply pressure or with non-use (remains within the maximum start-up rotation torque), but it does change with
the rotation number. (Refer to page 356).
Note 3) If using at a speed above 600 min-1 (r.p.m.), ensure rotation is in the direction in which the joint is fastened.
Note 4) Rubber / resin couplings are recommended due to their excellent absorption of off center, shocks, and vibrations.

Warning
1. A protective cover is recommended to minimize
the risk of human injury.
If a moving part poses a risk of human injury and/or damage
to machinery/equipment, then a structure which prevents
direct contact with that part should be adopted.

Air leakage occurs in these products. They cannot be used
for pressure holding in pressure vessels, etc.

Warning
1. Confirm the specifications.
The products advertised in this catalog are designed
according to use in industrial compressed air systems. If the
products are used in conditions where pressure,
temperature, etc., are out of specification, damage and/or
malfunction may be caused. Do not use in these conditions.

Fastening M5 thread fittings
Tighten manually, and then tighten a further quarter-turn using
the fastening tool. If using miniature fittings, tighten manually,
and then tighten a further quarter-turn using the fastening tool.
If there are two gaskets, such as a universal elbow or universal
tee, the final tightening should be doubled to a half-turn.
Note: Over-tightening of fittings may cause fracturing of the
thread sections or deformation of the gaskets, leading to
air leaks. If the fittings are under-tightened, the loosening
of thread and air leaks may occur.
Lubrication
Caution
1. Lubrication
1. Due to the initial lubricant provided, the product can be
used without lubrication.
2. Do not lubricate if using the product at low torque.
Lubrication may cause an increase in the rotational
torque, due to the viscosity and surface tension of the oil.
3. In the event that lubrication is applied, use turbine oil
class 1 (without additives) ISO VG32.
Refer to the brands of each turbine oil class 1 (without
additives) ISO VG32 manufacturer shown below.

Operating Environment
Warning
1. Do not use in environments where there is a
danger of corrosion.
Refer to the construction drawings regarding rotary joint
materials.
Maintenance
Warning
1. Perform maintenance according to the procedures
indicated in the instruction manual.
If handled improperly, malfunction and damage of
machinery or equipment may occur.
Caution
1. Drain flushing
Remove condensate from air filters at regular intervals.
Disassembly
Caution
1. The component parts of these products are
manufactured to precision tolerances, and
therefore cannot be disassembled.

Operation
Caution
1. The metal seal structure means that port-to-port
leaking occurs. Therefore, please note the
following points when using different pressures at
neighbouring ports.
When using different pressures at normal pressure
Use relieving type regulators.
Leaks between ports are to be exhausted via the relief port of the
regulator on the lower pressure side.

Caution
1. Although the center misalignment of the drive shaft and fixed shaft is different due to the flexible coupling type and
size, keep adjustments to 0.3 mm or less as a guide.
Do not use piping support for 2 or more circuits. If used for 2 or more circuits, excessive radial load may occur
momentarily (particularly at the start) due to piping tension and deflection, and it may cause excessive abrasion.
2. This product has a floating mechanism on the sleeve in order to keep the surface pressure of the metal seal part at
a lower level even when rotating with the accumulated center misalignment of parts. If instantaneous shock occurs
when starting and stopping rotation, the surface pressure may rise without working the floating mechanism and
excessive abrasion may occur. Flexible coupling should be installed at the drive motor connection in order to
protect the rotary joint from direct shocks. The recommended coupling is made by rubber or resin. These are
excellent in center misalignment and adsorption of impact and vibration.
