Adjustment of Spindle Movement Speed
To adjust the spindle movement speed, install a speed controller between
the cylinder and the air supply. Using OP-87970 is recommended.
How to replace the dust seal
Refer to the instruction manual included with the replacement dust seal
(OP-87932).
Specifications
Sensor head
*1 When the surrounding temperature is 20°C.
*2 Representative value when using 0.25 MPa. The measuring force varies
depending on the air pressure used. See Table 1 for more details.
*3 The contact is a separately sold option.
*4 Including the relay connector.
Note: Cannot be used with amplifier units purchased before April 15th, 2014.

NOTICE
• To further decrease spindle movement speed, use a
coil-shaped tube (OP-87986) or similar to increase
the distance between the air supply hole and the
speed controller.
• The speed controller will not operate if installed in
the reverse direction.
