Features 1
Integrated production in a clean environment
Under a clean environment, all components have undergone ultrasonic cleaning.
Assembly, inspection and antistatic double packaging processes are conducted in an integrated production system.

쎲 Quality Control 쎲
At the time of shipment, the SFD series clean air filter is 100% inspected.

∗ When blowing, take care not to entrain ambient air
which could contaminate the workpieces.

∗ The equipment mounted to the secondary side of the SFD unit should be cleaned
by flushing and have the same level of cleanliness as the SFD unit.

Hollow fibre membrane

The hollow fibre membrane has a porous construction with numerous fine holes on a straw type fibre membrane wall.
These fine holes are distributed in layers, and the layers are overlapped between the external face and internal face of the mem-
brane.
The hollow fibre membrane filter traps and filtrates the impurities from the compressed air through the overlapping layered fine ho-
les.

Model Selection
Select the model by using the following procedures involving the inlet pressure and the maximum flow rate.
[Example] Inlet pressure: 0.6 MPa
Maximum flow rate: 100 l/min (ANR)
1. Obtain the intersection A for the inlet pressure and the maximum flow rate by using the maximum flow rate chart.
2. If the obtained intersection A is above the maximum flow rate line, the SFD200-C12, -쏔02, -C10, or -C08 can be selected.
Note) Please be sure to select a model which is above the obtained intersection A. If the obtained intersection A is below the maximum flow rate line, overflow will
occur. This will cause nonconformance in which the specification will not be satisfied.

Safety Instructions
These safety instructions are intended to prevent a hazardous situation and/or equipment damage. These
instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by labels of "Caution", "Warning" or "Danger". To
ensure safety, be sure to observe ISO 4414 Note 1), JIS B 8370 Note 2) and other safety practices.
쐽Explanation of the Labels
Labels Explanation of the labels

Danger In extreme conditions, there is a possible result of serious injury or loss of life.

Warning Operator error could result in serious injury or loss of life.

Caution Operator error could result in injury Note 3) or equipment damage. Note 4)

Note 1) ISO 4414: Pneumatic fluid power – General rules relating to systems
Note 2) JIS B 8370: General Rules for Pneumatic Equipment
Note 3) Injury indicates light wounds, burns and electrical shocks that do not require hospitalisation or hospital visits for long-term medical treatment.
Note 4) Equipment damage refers to extensive damage to the equipment and surrounding devices.

쐽Selection/Handling/Applications
1. The compatibility of the pneumatic equipment is the responsibility of the person who designs the
pneumatic system or decides its specifications.
Since the products specified here are used in various operating conditions, their compatibility for the specific pneumatic system
must be based on specifications or post analysis and/or tests to meet the specific requirements. The expected performance and
safety assurance are the responsibility of the person who has determined the compatibility of the system. This person should
continuously review the suitability of all items specified, referring to the latest catalogue information with a view to giving due
consideration to any possibility of equipment failure when configuring a system.
2. Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated machinery and equipment.
Compressed air can be dangerous if handled incorrectly. Assembly, handling or repair of the systems using pneumatic equipment
should be performed by trained and experienced operators. (Understanding JIS B 8370 General Rules for Pneumatic Equipment,
and other safety rules are included.)
3. Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove components until safety is confirmed.
1. Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed once measures to prevent falling or runaway
of the driven objects have been confirmed.
2. When equipment is removed, confirm the safety process as mentioned above. Turn off the supply pressure for this equipment
and exhaust all residual compressed air in the system, and release all the energy (liquid pressure, spring, condenser, gravity).
3. Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent quick extension of a cylinder piston rod, etc.
4. If the equipment will be used in the following conditions or environment, please contact SMC first and
be sure to take all necessary safety precautions.
1. Conditions and environments beyond the given specifications, or if product is used outdoors.
2. Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railway, air navigation, vehicles, medical equipment, food and
