Note 1) The set pressure of the safety valve cannot be changed.

Note 2) The safety valve is a safety measure that protects the tank from excess pressure. The valve opens

automatically when the specified pressure is reached, releasing express pressure inside the tank. The

valve closes again when the pressure drops below a designated value. Select a pressure valve

appropriate for the maximum operating pressure specification of the tank.

The pressure vessel law is different from country to country, so an air tank suitable to a

country needs to be manufactured.

Warning

1. Operating pressure

• Operate this product at or below the maximum

operating pressure.

If it is necessary, take ap-

propriate safety measures to ensure that the

maximum operating pressure is not exceeded.

• When the tank alone is used

Use a pressure switch or a safety valve to make

sure that the maximum operating pressure is

not exceeded.

2. Connection

• Connect a filter or a mist separator to the OUT

side of the tank. Because the inner surface of

the tank

is untreated, there is a possibility of

dust flowing out to the outlet side.

• Using tank accessories, a VBA booster regulator

can be connected directly in the combinations

indicated below.

Air tank

Selection

Caution

• Consider the operating conditions and operate

this product within the specification range.

• When using the air tank with a booster valve, re-

fer to “Sizing” on page 6 or SMC Pneumatic

System Energy Saving Program.

1. Inspection

• The use of pressure vessels could lead to an

unexpected accident due to external damage or

internal corrosion caused by drainage. Therefo-

re, make sure to check periodically for external

damage, or the extent of internal corrosion

through the port hole. An ultrasonic thickness

indicator may also be used to check for any re-

duction in material thickness.

2. Draining

• If this product is used with a large amount of

drainage, the drainage could flow out, leading to

equipment malfunction or corrosion inside the

tank. Therefore, drain the system once a day.

Maintenance

Warning

1. Accessories

• See the operating manual (VBAT-M1, VBAT-M2,

VBAT-M3, VBAT-M4) regarding combining

booster regulators with older model air tanks.

• The accessories are secured by bands to the

feet of the tank. Once removed, make sure not

to lose them.

2. Installation

• Tank should be installed away from people. It is

dangerous

if the accumulated air inside the tank

were to seep out.

• Do not mount the air tank on a moving part or a

place with vibration.

• When connecting a booster regulator with the

tank, refer to the operating manual first, which is

provided with the air tank before assembling.

• Refer to the operating manual regarding moun-

ting methods when using long bolts.

• To mount the air tank on a floor surface, use the

four holes to secure the tank with bolts or an-

chor bolts.
