    According to the following steps, combined with the actual situation, select the specific model and specifications of the cylinder and perform calibration.


    1.Selection of working conditions(Select according to installation method and working status)
    (1)Select cylinder model and specifications (bore, stroke).
    (2)Select cushioning method (crash pad, hydraulic buffer).
    (3)Select fixture mounting method (above the slide, above the end plate).
    (4)Select cylinder mounting method (horizontal, vertical).
    (5)Average cylinder actuation speed Va (mm/s).
    (6)Load type and weight W (N). (Figure 1).
    (7)Distances L1, L2, and L3 (mm) from the load's center of gravity to each mounting reference surface. Note: L1 is the distance the load's center of gravity extends beyond the front end of the end plate. If the load's center of gravity does not extend beyond the front end of the end plate, L1 is a negative value.

    FAQ

    • Q: What is the working principle of the AHLQ and AHLQL series dual-axis precision slide cylinders?

      A: The AHLQ and AHLQL series dual-axis precision slide cylinders are double-acting, powered by compressed air. When compressed air is introduced into the cylinder's different chambers, the air pressure pushes the piston in reciprocating linear motion within the cylinder. This linear motion is transmitted to the slide via a dual piston rod structure, thereby driving the load for precise linear displacement. Dual precision linear guides ensure high precision and rigidity, and the floating joint design eliminates additional load torque on the piston rod, ensuring stable operation.
