FAQ
Q1: What is the FUJI LATEX FA-F / FWM-F Series?
A: The FUJI LATEX FA-F / FWM-F Series is a coolant-compatible adjustable hydraulic shock absorber for absorbing impact at machine tool, automation equipment, slide, and cylinder end stops.
Q2: What equipment is the FA-F / FWM-F Series suitable for?
A: It is suitable for machine tools, machining equipment, automated lines, slide ends, cylinder ends, transfer mechanisms, and industrial machinery end stops.
Q3: What is the difference between FA-F / FWM-F and FA / FWM?
A: FA-F / FWM-F is the coolant-compatible specification for environments where coolant or cutting-fluid exposure must be considered. FA / FWM is the standard adjustable hydraulic shock absorber series.
Q4: Is FA-F / FWM-F fixed or adjustable?
A: FA-F / FWM-F is an adjustable hydraulic shock absorber series that allows damping performance to be adjusted according to machine load, impact speed, and stopping conditions.
Q5: What main models are available?
A: Main models include FA-F0806, FA-F1008, FWM-F1008, FA-F1210, FWM-F1210, FA-F1410, FWM-F1410, FA-F1612, FWM-F1612, FA-F2016, FWM-F2016, FA-F2530, FWM-F2530, FA-F2725, and FWM-F2725.
Q6: What is the maximum absorption energy?
A: Depending on the model, maximum absorption energy ranges from 1.4 to 79.3 J.
Q7: How should B, BD, and D types be selected?
A: B type is suitable for low-speed conditions, BD type for medium-speed conditions, and D type for high-speed conditions. Final selection should match machine speed, load, and cycle rate.
Q8: Can FA-F / FWM-F reduce machine impact noise?
A: Yes. Hydraulic cushioning helps reduce end-stop impact, collision noise, vibration, and mechanical wear.
Q9: What should be considered in coolant environments?
A: Confirm coolant type, liquid amount, operating frequency, and actual machine conditions to avoid using the absorber outside its intended conditions.
Q10: How do I select the right FA-F / FWM-F model?
A: Check maximum absorption energy, equivalent mass, impact speed, cycles per minute, stroke, thread size, and tip specification, then download the catalog or contact GATO Corporation for selection support.
