FAQ
Q1: What is the FUJI LATEX FW M12–M25 Series?
A: The FW M12–M25 Series consists of double-rod fixed hydraulic shock absorbers that can receive impact from either direction.
Q2: What models are included in the FW Series?
A: The series includes FW-1212L-C, FW-1616M, FW-2025M, and FW-2530M, covering M12×1.0 to M25×1.5 thread sizes.
Q3: Is the FW Series fixed or adjustable?
A: The FW Series is a fixed-type shock absorber and does not require damping adjustment.
Q4: Can the FW Series absorb impact from both directions at the same time?
A: No. It can receive impact from either direction, but simultaneous impact from both sides is not permitted.
Q5: What type of orifice structure does the FW Series use?
A: The FW Series uses a multiple-orifice structure designed to provide smooth hydraulic impact absorption.
Q6: What is the maximum absorption energy of the FW Series?
A: Maximum absorption energy reaches 62.7 J with FW-2530M. FW-1212L-C, FW-1616M, and FW-2025M provide 4.9, 13.7, and 39.2 J respectively.
Q7: What impact speed ranges are available?
A: FW-1212L-C is rated for 0.3–1 m/s, while FW-1616M, FW-2025M, and FW-2530M are rated for 0.3–2 m/s.
Q8: What applications are suitable for the FW Series?
A: The double-rod design is suitable for reciprocating mechanisms and installations where impact may come from either direction, especially when mounting space is limited.
Q9: What should be checked when installing an FW shock absorber?
A: Ensure sufficient mounting strength and an external stopper, keep eccentric loading within ±2.5°, and prevent simultaneous impact from both directions.
Q10: How do I select the correct FW model?
A: Check moving mass, impact speed, absorption energy, required stroke, thread size, and cycle rate, then select the appropriate low- or medium-speed model, or contact GATO Corporation for selection support.
