Selection procedure
- (1) Select a suitable model number based on the thrust or load N {㎏f}, stroke mm, speed mm/s.
- (2) Use the cylinder within an allowable operating frequency 2 times/min., allowable load time ratio: 25%ED (5 minute basis), as for the frequency of operation.
The load time ratio is a ratio of the operating time per 5 minutes on a 5-minute basis.
Allowable frequency of operation for the Power Cylinder F series is within a range which satisfies the number of starting times and load time ratio in the above table. The load time ratio is expressed by the following equation.
Percentage duty cycle (%ED) = Operation time of one cycle Operation time of one cycle + stop time ×100%
Guide for life
Duration of life is 15,000 reciprocations, as a guide.
※Select a power cylinder of a sufficient thrust, allowing for a safety rate so that the loads used (static and dynamic) do not exceed the rated thrust.
※Be sure to read these cautions (click here) as well.
