FAQ
Q1: What is the FUJI LATEX FA-S small series?
A: The FA-S1210 / 1410 / 1612 / 2016 models are dust-sealed adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers for automation equipment, slides, conveyors, and cylinder end stops.
Q2: What environments are FA-S dust-sealed models suitable for?
A: They are suitable for industrial environments where dust, chips, or debris may accumulate around the piston rod area.
Q3: What is the difference between the FA-S Series and standard FA / FWM models?
A: The FA-S Series adds a dust seal for environments where reducing dust and debris ingress is important. Standard FA / FWM models suit cleaner operating environments.
Q4: Is the FA-S small series fixed or adjustable?
A: The series is adjustable, allowing damping to be set according to machine load, moving speed, and stopping conditions.
Q5: Which models are included on this page?
A: This page includes the FA-S1210, FA-S1410, FA-S1612, and FA-S2016 sizes with standard-speed, high-speed, and FWM-S wide-speed-range models.
Q6: What is the maximum absorption energy range?
A: Maximum absorption energy ranges from 2.94 to 29.4 J, with strokes from 10 to 16 mm.
Q7: How should B, D, and BD models be selected?
A: B models cover 0.3–1 m/s, D models cover 0.7–3 m/s, and BD models cover 0.3–2 m/s for wider or variable-speed operation.
Q8: What does the asterisk after the model number mean?
A: The asterisk indicates that the complete end suffix has not been specified. Confirm the capless or capped version before ordering.
Q9: What should be checked before installation?
A: Confirm mounting strength, external stopper design, impact speed, equivalent mass, cycle rate, and impact direction.
Q10: How do I select the correct FA-S model?
A: Confirm absorption energy, equivalent mass, impact speed, cycle rate, thread size, stroke, and operating environment, then contact GATO Corporation for selection support.
