Schuifcilinder Tips voor installatie en onderhoud

Installatie-instructies:

  • Ensure the mounting surface has sufficient flatness and rigidity to prevent slide deformation.
  • Distribute the load evenly on the slide table and keep the load’s center of gravity as close to the table center as possible.
  • When connecting the load, avoid applying excessive external forces or moments to the slide table.
  • Check that air tube connections are correct and secure to prevent leaks.
  • For models with sensors, install and adjust sensor positions correctly to ensure reliable signals.

Routinematig onderhoud:

  • Regularly clean slide guides and moving parts to remove dust and debris.
  • Lubricate guides periodically with appropriate grease (refer to product manual) based on usage frequency and environment.
  • Check all fastening screws for looseness and tighten if necessary.
  • Maintain a clean and dry air supply to prevent moisture and impurities from entering the cylinder.
  • Observe the slide table for smooth operation, unusual noises, or sticking.

Correct installation and regular maintenance are key to the long-term, high-precision, and stable operation of slide cylinders.

Schuifcilinder FAQs

The main advantages of slide cylinders lie in their integration and compactness:

  • Compact Structure: Integrating the drive and guide units results in a smaller overall size, saving installation space.
  • Simplified Installation: Eliminates the need for users to design, select, and align external guides, reducing assembly time and complexity.
  • Guaranteed Precision: Manufacturers ensure guiding accuracy and motion parallelism at the factory, providing users with greater confidence.
  • Overall Rigidity: An integrated design typically offers better overall rigidity and resistance to moments.

While a standard cylinder with external guides can achieve similar functions, slide cylinders often offer advantages in space, installation convenience, and overall performance, especially in applications with high space and precision requirements.

When selecting a slide cylinder, it’s crucial to consider the magnitude, direction, and point of application of the load:

  • Axial Load: The push or pull force along the cylinder’s direction of motion, primarily determined by bore size and operating pressure.
  • Radial Load: Force acting perpendicular to the direction of motion on the slide table.
  • Moment Load: Moments that cause the slide table to tilt or twist due to off-center loads or external forces (e.g., pitch moment MP, yaw moment MY, roll moment MR).

You need to calculate or estimate these load and moment values for your specific working conditions. Then, refer to the “Allowable Load and Moment Table” for the corresponding model in our product catalog. Ensure that all allowable values for the selected slide cylinder are greater than your actual requirements, with an appropriate safety margin. If in doubt, please consult our technical engineers.

  • The guiding accuracy of slide cylinders varies depending on the type of guide used, manufacturing precision, and size specifications. Generally:

    • Slide cylinders with sliding guides (e.g., bronze bushings) typically have an operating parallelism within the range of 0.1mm to 0.3mm per stroke length, and repeat positioning accuracy might be around ±0.05mm to ±0.2mm.
    • Slide cylinders with rolling guides (e.g., linear ball bearings or cross-roller guides) can achieve higher precision. Operating parallelism can be better than 0.05mm per stroke length, and repeat positioning accuracy can reach ±0.01mm to ±0.05mm or even higher.

    Specific accuracy parameters are detailed in the technical specifications for each model. For high-precision applications, it is recommended to choose slide cylinders with high-grade rolling guides.

Yes, many slide cylinders can be used in vertical installations, but special attention must be paid to the following:

  • Load Self-Weight: In vertical mounting, gravity constantly acts on the load. Ensure the cylinder’s output force (when lifting) or holding force (when static) can overcome the load’s weight with an adequate margin.
  • Remmen en valpreventie: For vertical lifting applications, especially with heavy loads or safety risks, it is strongly recommended to install external mechanical braking devices or fall-arrest mechanisms. Relying solely on air pressure to hold the load is unsafe, as air loss or system failure could cause the load to fall.
  • Guide Rail Life: In vertical installations, guide rails may experience continuous unidirectional pressure; their rated life under the influence of gravity should be checked.
  • Cushioning Selection: Appropriate cushioning should be selected to absorb the impact when the load stops in vertical motion.
  • Manufacturer’s Recommendations: Always consult the product manual or the manufacturer to confirm if the selected model is suitable for vertical installation and to understand its specific performance parameters and limitations in such applications.

Safety is paramount when installing slide cylinders vertically; always implement sufficient protective measures.

Lubrication and maintenance of the slide cylinder’s guide part are crucial for ensuring its precision and lifespan:

  • Lubrication Type: Use appropriate grease or oil based on the guide type (sliding or rolling) and manufacturer’s recommendations. Rolling guides typically use lithium-based grease.
  • Lubrication Interval: The interval depends on usage frequency, operating speed, load size, and working environment. Regular inspection and replenishment of lubricant are generally recommended. Some slide cylinders may feature self-lubrication or long-life lubrication.
  • Lubrication Method: Usually via grease nipples on the guide carriage or by partially disassembling protective covers. Clean off old grease and contaminants before adding new lubricant.
  • Cleaning: Regularly clean guide surfaces to prevent dust, chips, and other foreign matter from entering the guide mechanism, which can cause wear or sticking. Use a soft cloth for wiping; avoid corrosive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Periodically check guides and carriages for signs of abnormal wear, looseness, or damage. Check that mounting bolts are tight.

Always follow the specific lubrication and maintenance instructions in the product manual.
