FAQ
Q1: What is the FUJI LATEX FA-3650UD / FWM-3650UBD Series?
A: The series consists of large adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers for end-stop impact absorption in automation equipment, large slides, transfer systems, and industrial machinery.
Q2: What equipment is this series suitable for?
A: It is suitable for large automation equipment, conveyors, transfer mechanisms, large slides, pneumatic cylinder drives, and industrial machinery requiring end-stop deceleration.
Q3: What is the difference between FA-3650UD and FWM-3650UBD?
A: FA-3650UD supports high-speed impact from 0.7 to 3 m/s. FWM-3650UBD covers 0.3 to 2 m/s for medium-speed operation and pneumatic cylinder drives.
Q4: Is this series fixed or adjustable?
A: The series is adjustable. Damping can be continuously set with the knob at the bottom of the body and secured with the locking screw.
Q5: Which full model numbers are available?
A: Models include FA-3650UD-S, FA-3650UD-C, FWM-3650UBD-S, and FWM-3650UBD-C.
Q6: What is the maximum absorption energy?
A: Both series provide 392 J maximum absorption energy per impact and 2,352 J/min maximum absorption energy per minute.
Q7: How should FA-3650UD and FWM-3650UBD be selected?
A: Select by impact speed first. FA-3650UD covers 0.7–3 m/s, while FWM-3650UBD covers 0.3–2 m/s. Then confirm equivalent mass and drive method.
Q8: What is the difference between the -S and -C suffixes?
A: The -S suffix indicates a capless model, while -C indicates a model supplied with an impact cap.
Q9: What should be checked before installation?
A: Confirm mounting strength, external stopper design, impact speed, equivalent mass, cycle rate, and eccentric angle. Do not use the product in a vacuum or where it may directly contact oil.
Q10: How do I select the correct model?
A: Confirm absorption energy, equivalent mass, impact speed, cycles per minute, drive method, installation space, and impact angle, then contact GATO Corporation for selection support.
