FAQ
Q1: What is the FUJI LATEX FV M14–M27 Series?
A: The FV M14–M27 Series consists of short-stroke, multiple-orifice fixed hydraulic shock absorbers for low-speed industrial machinery applications.
Q2: What models are included in the FV Series?
A: The series includes FV-1406L-S, FV-1606L-S, FV-2008L-S, FV-2508L-S, and FV-2708L-S.
Q3: Is the FV Series fixed or adjustable?
A: The FV Series is fixed and does not require damping adjustment.
Q4: What is the main difference between the FV and FS Series?
A: Both are short-stroke designs, but FV uses a multiple-orifice fixed structure, while FS uses a single-orifice adjustable structure. FV is therefore suited to applications with relatively stable impact conditions.
Q5: What does L mean in the FV model number?
A: L indicates the low-speed performance classification. All FV models on this page are rated for an impact speed range of 0.3–1 m/s.
Q6: What is the maximum absorption energy of the FV Series?
A: Maximum absorption energy reaches 19.6 J with FV-2708L-S. FV-1406L-S, FV-1606L-S, FV-2008L-S, and FV-2508L-S provide 4.5, 5.5, 8.8, and 13.7 J respectively.
Q7: What is the maximum equivalent mass of the FV Series?
A: Maximum equivalent mass reaches 150 kg with FV-2708L-S. Equivalent-mass ratings vary by model and should be checked individually during selection.
Q8: What is the difference between the 6 mm and 8 mm FV models?
A: FV-1406L-S and FV-1606L-S have 6 mm strokes and a maximum cycle rate of 45 cycles/min, while FV-2008L-S, FV-2508L-S, and FV-2708L-S have 8 mm strokes and a maximum cycle rate of 60 cycles/min.
Q9: What should be checked when installing an FV shock absorber?
A: Use an external stopper, provide sufficient mounting strength, keep eccentric loading within ±2.5°, and avoid use in a vacuum or where the product may directly contact oil.
Q10: How do I select the correct FV model?
A: Check moving mass, impact speed, absorption energy, cycle rate, required stroke, and thread size, then select the model that matches the machine conditions, or contact GATO Corporation for model selection support.
