FAQ
Q1: What is the FUJI LATEX FA-4225 / FA-4250 / FA-4275 Series?
A: The series consists of large adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers for end-stop impact absorption in automation equipment, transfer systems, large slides, conveyors, 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-4225, FA-4250, and FA-4275?
A: FA-4225 provides a 25 mm stroke and 260 J capacity, FA-4250 provides a 50 mm stroke and 520 J, and FA-4275 provides a 75 mm stroke and 780 J.
Q4: Is this series fixed or adjustable?
A: The series is adjustable. Damping can be continuously set with the adjustment knob and secured with the locking screw.
Q5: Which models are included in this series?
A: Models include FA-4225B3-C, FA-4225SL-C, FA-4250B3-C, FA-4250SL-C, and FA-4275B3-C.
Q6: What is the maximum absorption energy?
A: Maximum absorption energy ranges from 260 to 780 J, depending on the selected stroke and model.
Q7: How should B3 and SL models be selected?
A: B3 models cover impact speeds from 0.3 to 3 m/s. SL models cover 0.05 to 0.5 m/s for low-speed mechanisms with high equivalent mass.
Q8: What does the -C suffix mean?
A: The -C suffix identifies a model supplied with a urethane impact cap. The cap is a consumable part and should be replaced when worn.
Q9: What should be checked before installation?
A: Confirm mounting strength, external stopper design, impact speed, equivalent mass, cycle rate, stroke, and eccentric angle.
Q10: How do I select the correct model?
A: Confirm absorption energy, equivalent mass, impact speed, cycles per minute, required stroke, installation space, and impact angle, then contact GATO Corporation for selection support.
