Features:
- Direct-mount role: Position a compatible SMC auto switch on the supported cylinder mounting feature.
- Table-controlled fit: Select from the cylinder and switch combination rather than bracket appearance.
- Service inspection: Judge mounting integrity and sensing stability separately from normal finish variation.
BMG2-012 is a model-specific mounting bracket whose fit depends on the cylinder and auto-switch combination.
Correct installation keeps the switch stable at the intended detection point without forcing the bracket or fastener.
Acceptance should confirm model marking, mechanical fit and repeatable sensing before the cylinder returns to automatic operation.
For BMG2-012 sourcing, Apter Power can help confirm the SMC cylinder series, bore size and auto-switch model before quotation.

- Combination decision: Confirm the cylinder series, bore and switch model together; matching only one element does not establish bracket fit.
- Switch change: Recheck the official table whenever the switch family changes, because the existing bracket may no longer position or retain it correctly.
- Geometry stop: Do not bend or machine a bracket that does not sit in the mounting feature; the mismatch indicates an incorrect combination.
- Model control: Keep the complete bracket code on the maintenance record so a similar shape is not treated as interchangeable.
- Initial fit: Seat the bracket in the intended cylinder feature before tightening so the fastener does not pull a misaligned part into place.
- Switch position: Set the sensing point through the documented adjustment method and then secure it, preserving repeatable detection.
- Tool control: Use the specified small tool and tightening method; excessive force can damage the screw or shift the switch.
- Rework decision: Loosen and reposition the assembly instead of forcing it when the detection point is wrong.
- Functional proof: Cycle the cylinder and confirm repeatable switch operation before returning the machine to automatic service.
- Movement check: Reinspect bracket and screw seating if the detection point drifts, because movement can create intermittent machine-state feedback.
- Finish judgment: Do not reject the bracket solely for lot-related chromate color or gloss variation when model and mechanical condition are correct.
- Damage stop: Replace a bent, cracked or non-retaining bracket rather than relying on adjustment to recover stable sensing.
- Cylinder position sensing: Hold a compatible switch at the required detection point on a supported SMC cylinder with verified bracket fit.
- Machine sequencing: Provide stable switch positioning so repeatable end-position feedback can support the intended automatic sequence.
- Maintenance replacement: Restore an identified bracket-and-switch arrangement after damage or loss of retention has been confirmed.
- Spare control: Separate visually similar brackets by their approved cylinder and switch combination before stocking or installation.
