Caution on Selecting/Using Models ■ Selecting an orifice (slow return valve)

Select proper models according to the following selection procedure and check sheet: ● If a hunting phenomenon occurs with the weight of the cylinder, an orifice will be required on the return side. (Hunting

temperature. Try to select the model with thrust and speed large enough to meet requested specifications. ※ Select orifices for Port A and B according to the load applied to the cylinder.
● Maximum internal leakage may amount to 0.3 cm3/min. Apply a mechanical lock for secure load retention. ※ When the cylinder is diagonally positioned, select kind of load by its own weight from A 〜 D.
※ An orifice is installed to prevent a hunting phenomenon. It is not useful for speed control.
※ Please contact us if you do not know the criteria for selection.
■ Selection Procedure
(1) Determine maximum thrust, maximum speed, power supply, and stroke required of an MMP cylinder from the application
and specifications of the equipment.
(2) Select the relief valve set pressure, power supply, cylinder size, and cylinder stroke from the specifications and
characteristics of the selected MMP model.
(3) Select orifices for port A and B from the load to be applied to the cylinder at page 44.
A: Port A orifice (retraction load), B: Port B orifice (extension load), D: Port A and B orifices (retraction and extension load)
(4) Electric wiring and Switching
※ The customer should prepare the power supply and switching system. Please contact us for any details.

1. In the case of D (compression and tension load), select both A (compression For a compression load of 6 kN on the cylinder of
(5) Selecting wire load) and B (tension load). φ 40, select an orifice of φ 0.6.
● Select a wire diameter suitable for a DC motor operation voltage applied in the range ±10% of the rated voltage. 2. Please contact us for the parts marked with an asterisk ( ※ ).
3. Make sure to test the selected MMP on the intended equipment.

■ Caution on cylinders in operation ■ Check sheet

<Relief valve>
Do not activate the relief valve over 2 seconds. Otherwise, a rise in the oil temperature or a malfunction may result. The
relief valve set pressure is fixed (at 4.1 or 7.1 MPa) and cannot be changed.
<Duty cycle / Circuit breaker>
● All models are designed for an intermittent operation and will automatically shut down when operated continuously.
Use the MMP under the rated pressure (thrust) in intervals of 30 seconds within ED25% (pause over 90 seconds).
● When the allowable duty cycle is exceeded, the circuit breaker built in the DC motor will automatically turn off the MMP.
● When the DC motor cools down, the circuit breaker will automatically reset enabling the restart of the MMP.
Continuing to use the MMP in conditions, in which the circuit breaker is often triggered, is not recommended.
<Manual operation in case of an emergency>
● In case of power failure, electric wire break, and other emergencies, the cylinder may be extended or retracted using the
manual release valve ⑥ .
After loosening the manual release valve by turning it two or three times with a hex wrench, the cylinder can be extended or
retracted by the hand or by its own weight. (Be careful of a free fall.)

Mounting
● Mount the MMP with two parallel pins (recommended diameter: φ14 -0.025
-0.068
) and secure in place with split pins.
● The MMP can be easily mounted by securing the rod side to the load side and the bottom side to the frame of the equipment.

■ Storage
When the MMP is not going to be used for a long period, keep the cylinder in the fully retracted position.
If the cylinder is kept in the extended position for a long time, dust deposits or rust may damage the oil seal, causing eventual malfunction.

■ Disposal
When disposing the MMP, unplug the oil tank, remove operating oil from the oil reservoir and cylinder.
When removing the plug, do it slowly after extending the cylinder. Otherwise, the oil may gush out because the tank is pressurized.
