FAQ
Q1: What is the FUJI LATEX FA-S3650 Series?
A: The FA-S3650 Series consists of large dust-sealed adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers for automation equipment, large slides, conveyors, transfer systems, and industrial machinery.
Q2: What environments are FA-S3650 models suitable for?
A: They suit equipment where dust, machining chips, or debris may accumulate around the piston rod area, but they are not designed for direct oil or coolant exposure.
Q3: What is the difference between FA-S3650UD and FWM-S3650UBD?
A: FA-S3650UD covers 0.7–3 m/s high-speed impact, while FWM-S3650UBD covers 0.3–2 m/s for wide-speed, pneumatic, and variable-speed applications.
Q4: Is the FA-S3650 Series fixed or adjustable?
A: The series is adjustable. Damping can be continuously set using the adjustment knob at the bottom of the body.
Q5: Which full model numbers are available?
A: Models include FA-S3650UD-S, FA-S3650UD-C, FWM-S3650UBD-S, and FWM-S3650UBD-C.
Q6: What is the maximum absorption energy?
A: Both models provide 392 J maximum absorption energy per impact and 2,352 J/min absorption energy per minute.
Q7: How should UD and UBD models be selected?
A: UD models suit high-speed equipment, while UBD models suit wider speed ranges, pneumatic drives, and higher equivalent mass. Confirm cycle rate and actual load conditions before selection.
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: Can FA-S3650 models be used where coolant is splashed?
A: No. The dust seal reduces dust and debris ingress but is not liquid-proof. A suitable liquid-resistant specification should be considered where oil or coolant contacts the product.
Q10: How should the correct FA-S3650 model be selected?
A: Confirm absorption energy, equivalent mass, impact speed, cycle rate, end configuration, installation space, and operating environment, then contact GATO Corporation for selection support.
