II. Structural Features and Operating Principle
Structural Components:

• Nozzle Assembly: 1.0 mm nozzle, integrated with body using molded resin.
• Receiving/Mixing Chamber: Area where high-speed airflow mixes with entrained air.
• Diffuser Chamber: Reduces airflow velocity, increasing vacuum level.
• Port Connections: Φ6/Φ6/Φ8 Quick-Connects for SUP (Supply), VAC (Vacuum), and EXH (Exhaust) ports respectively.
• Mounting Structure: Direct piping type; can be mounted with the included standard bracket.
• Main Body Material: Aluminum alloy body; internal parts include resin and rubber seals.

Operating Principle:
The ZH10DSA-06-06-08 operates based on the Venturi Effect. Compressed air passing through the converging nozzle experiences a sharp increase in velocity and a corresponding pressure drop, forming a high-speed jet at the nozzle outlet. This high-speed jet entrains surrounding air within the receiving chamber, creating a negative pressure (vacuum) at the vacuum port region. The entrained air mixes with the main jet, then passes through the diffuser where it slows down, increasing pressure before being discharged from the exhaust port. When the vacuum port is connected to a suction cup and a workpiece is picked up, the pressure inside the vacuum cavity becomes lower than atmospheric pressure, enabling workpiece holding via atmospheric pressure.

V. Installation and Usage Precautions
Installation Key Points:

• Pre-installation Check: Inspect product appearance for scratches/deformation; verify nameplate matches design.
• Mounting Orientation: Vertical mounting is recommended; avoid horizontal or inverted mounting; ensure exhaust port is unobstructed.
• Piping Connection: Use Φ6/Φ6/Φ8 Quick-Connects; ensure tight, leak-free connections.
• Piping Layout: Keep vacuum piping as short and straight as possible to reduce volume and improve response speed.
• Installation Location: Choose a location with minimal vibration and easy maintenance; avoid direct exposure to high temperature, humidity, or corrosive environments.

Usage Notes:

• Operating Conditions: Do not exceed 0.7 MPa supply pressure; ambient temperature range 0 to 60°C.
• Medium Requirements: Use clean, dry air; avoid oil, water, impurities; confirm material compatibility for corrosive media in advance.
• Vacuum Port Usage: Connect to suction cups or vacuum fixtures ensuring good seals to prevent leaks affecting vacuum level.
• Exhaust Port Requirements: Keep exhaust port clear; back pressure should not exceed 0.005 MPa; silencer recommended for noise reduction.
• Safety Precautions: Do not use in explosive atmospheres; pressure must not exceed rated limits; avoid installation in areas with strong electromagnetic interference.

Maintenance:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check appearance, seals, mounting screws for damage or looseness.
• Cleaning: Keep ports clean to prevent contamination; perform maintenance with air supply disconnected.
• Filter Check: Regularly inspect inlet filter for clogging to ensure clean air supply.
• Long-Term Storage: If unused for extended periods, apply anti-corrosion treatment and perform periodic air flow checks.
