Specification notes
Q1: What is the FUJI LATEX FK M4–M16 Series?
A: The FK M4–M16 Series consists of fixed hydraulic shock absorbers for industrial machinery, compact automation, and precision mechanisms.
Q2: What sizes are included in the FK M4–M16 Series?
A: The series includes FK-0404, FK-0604, FK-1008, FK-1210, FK-1412, FK-1417, and FK-1612, covering thread sizes from M4×0.5 to M16×1.5.
Q3: Is the FK Series fixed or adjustable?
A: The FK M4–M16 Series uses fixed damping characteristics and does not require a damping adjustment knob.
Q4: What do L, M, and H mean in FK model numbers?
A: For FK-1008 through FK-1612, L indicates low-speed, M indicates medium-speed, and H indicates high-speed applications. FK-0404 and FK-0604 use compact groove-orifice configurations with a different model lineup.
Q5: What is the maximum absorption energy?
A: Maximum absorption energy reaches 14.7 J within the FK M4–M16 group.
Q6: What is the maximum equivalent mass?
A: Maximum equivalent mass reaches 110 kg depending on model and impact speed.
Q7: What impact speeds can the FK M4–M16 Series handle?
A: Depending on the model, the overall series covers impact speeds from 0.3 to 3 m/s.
Q8: What end configurations are available?
A: The series offers -S capless and -C with cap configurations. Urethane cap -R versions are available for FK-1008 through FK-1612 but not for FK-0404 or FK-0604.
Q9: What applications are suitable for the FK M4–M16 Series?
A: Typical applications include precision equipment, compact automation, slides, fixtures, transfer mechanisms, pneumatic cylinder ends, and other industrial end-stop mechanisms.
Q10: How do I select the correct FK model?
A: Check moving mass, impact speed, absorption energy, cycle rate, stroke, thread size, and end configuration, or contact GATO Corporation for model selection support.
