Several important parameters of guide rod cylinder selection

May 20, 2021

Type selection of cylinder with guide rod


Eccentric load: the load does not directly act on the end plate, but produces an eccentric load, which actually produces a certain torque force on the guide rod.


Two installation postures: vertical installation and horizontal installation


Two configurations: plain bearing and rolling bearing


Selection sequence of cylinder with guide rod:


1. Confirm the installation mode: vertical installation or horizontal installation.


2. Preliminary selection based on comprehensive data: select the appropriate guide rod cylinder according to the load weight, stroke size and look-up table.


3. Whether the accuracy meets the standard: check whether the accuracy of the cylinder meets our process requirements.


4. Determine the bearing according to the demand: select sliding bearing or rolling bearing according to the service life of the actual equipment.


The selection of cylinder with guide rod is influenced by the factors of high speed, eccentric load, load quality and bearing
