Q1: What is the FUJIKURA AC Series?
A: The FUJIKURA AC Series is an air bearing cylinder. Air bearings are used in the rod guide section, so the rod and guide do not come into contact.
Q2: What subcategories are included in the AC Series?
A: The AC Series includes the standard model, ultra-compact model, small double-acting model, and thin model.
Q3: How is the AC Series different from conventional cylinders?
A: Since the rod and guide do not come into contact, there is no frictional resistance, ultra-precise control is possible, and there is no wear or dust generation.
Q4: What operating styles are available for the AC standard model?
A: The AC standard model is available as ACS single-action push type and ACD double-action type.
Q5: What are the bore and stroke ranges of the AC standard model?
A: The AC standard model has bore sizes from 10 to 100mm and strokes from 20 to 160mm.
Q6: What is the model of the AC ultra-compact model?
A: The AC ultra-compact model is ACS-4-5. The product weight is 12g, and the moving part weight is 1.7g.
Q7: What is the model of the AC small double-acting model?
A: The AC small double-acting model is ACD-6-10, a 14mm square compact double-acting model.
Q8: What is the model of the AC thin model?
A: The AC thin model is ACS-20-5, with an outline of 47mm × 47mm × 22mm.
Q9: What working fluid does the AC Series use?
A: The AC standard model uses clean compressed air with no lubricator. The ultra-compact, small double-acting, and thin models use clean compressed air.
Q10: What applications is the AC Series suitable for?
A: The AC Series is suitable for precision pressure control that is difficult with conventional cylinders, precision pressure control within semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and precision tension control of printing machines and plastic production equipment.
