Mounting of Auto Switch/Direct Mounting Style
To mount auto switches, follow the instruction illustrated below.
ø20 to ø100
Use a watchmakers screwdriver with a handle 5 to 6 mm in diameter
when tightening the auto switch mounting screw.

q Insert the protrusion on the bottom of the auto switch into the mating
part of the auto switch mounting bracket and fix the auto switch and
the auto switch mounting bracket temporarily by tightening the
hexagon socket head cap screw (M2.5 x 9 L) 1 to 2 turns.
w Insert the temporarily tightened mounting bracket into the mating
groove of the cylinder/actuator, and slide the auto switch onto the
cylinder/actuator through the groove.
e Check the detecting position of the auto switch and fix the auto
switch firmly with the hexagon socket head cap screw (M2.5 x 6 L,
M2.5 x 9 L).
∗
r If the detecting position is changed, go back to step w.
∗ The hexagon socket head cap screw (M2.5 x 6 L) is used to fix the
mounting bracket and cylinder/actuator.
This enables the replacement of the auto switch without adjusting
the auto switch position.
Note 1) Ensure that the auto switch is covered with the mating groove
to protect the auto switch.
Note 2) The torque for tightening the hexagon socket head cap screw
(M2.5 x 6 L, M2.5 x 9 L) is 0.2 to 0.3 N·m.
Note 3) Tighten the hexagon socket head cap screws evenly.
Note 4) For ø80 or ø100, in the case of mounting the auto switch of
the D-P3DW Series onto the port surface, if the corner of
the fitting hexagon interferes with the auto switch, adjust the
tightening of the fitting to eliminate the interference.
In the case of interference with an elbow type fitting, direct
the port of the fitting away from the auto switch.
Such interference must be avoided especially when selecting
a speed controller with fittings or speed exhaust controller,
etc.
Note 5) When the cylinder with auto switches is ordered, the body of
the cylinder/auto switch and auto switch mounting bracket
are shipped together.
