Product catalog summary
Summary
This document is an instruction manual for the Pneumatically Actuated Freebear Unit, AFU-5057D Series. The device aids in the transportation of items using built-in ball bearings, known as Freebears, and is operated by air pressure.
Safety Precautions
  • Operating air pressure should be between 0.3MPa and 0.6MPa.
  • Intended for general indoor use within temperatures of 0℃ to 60℃, avoiding freezing and condensation.
  • Ensure no water or foreign objects enter the compressed air system.
  • Release internal compressed air when not in use.
  • Avoid severe impacts and do not disassemble or modify the product.
Installation Method
Secure the unit with CAP bolts in tapped holes at the installation location. Ensure proper torque is applied.
Piping Connection
The manual provides a recommended pneumatic circuit diagram. Note that the Freebear part does not naturally descend when air is exhausted due to resistance factors. A "Forced exhaust" circuit may be necessary.
Connection Method
Details on parts removal and connection are provided, emphasizing the use of O-rings and CAP bolts.
Precautions for Use
  • Designed for downward use only.
  • Ensure the running surface is clean.
  • The load capacity depends on all balls supporting the object; uneven surfaces may reduce capacity.
  • Avoid clamping items while Freebears are floating.
Maintenance and Inspection
Clean the Freebear with a cloth and low-viscosity lubricating oil when dirty.
Inquiry
Contact the manufacturer or the point of purchase for any operational issues or questions.
Note: Specifications and appearance may change without notice for improvements.

4. Piping Connection The recommended pneumatic circuit diagram for this product is as follows: Normal piping Force exhaust Air source Vacuum device ※The Freebear part of this product does not descent naturally when air is exhausted during the downward operation, due to resistance from the cylinder’s O-ring, among other factors.(Residual pressure has been released, so it will descent under the load of the transported item’s own way, etc.) If it is necessary to force the Freebear part to descend, please refer to the “Forced exhaust” circuit. 5. Connection Method This product can be connected using...

This product is designed for downward use only and is not suitable for upward use. Please clean the running surface to ensure there is no dirt or debris. The AFU allowance load indicated in the drawing is the value when all balls support the transported object. If all balls cannot support due to grooves or unevenness on the running surface, the capacity may decrease. Do not clamp the transported item while Freebears are in a floating state. 7. Maintenance and Inspection When the Freebear is dirty, clean it with a cloth using low-viscosity lubricating. 8. Inquiry Should this product operate abnormally...
