In the process of using buffer cylinder, it is necessary to determine the axial load thrust according to the actual load state of the cylinder, and buffer cylinder will effectively determine the working pressure of the cylinder according to its air supply conditions.


1. Determination of buffer cylinder type


Select the type of cylinder according to the specific requirements of cylinder use and installation requirements.


2. Selection of buffer type of buffer cylinder


The cylinders are equipped with different buffer devices. The user should choose according to the actual load movement state. If the load is at a high speed, it is difficult to absorb the counterweight capacity only by the buffer of the cylinder itself. Therefore, it is necessary to design a buffer circuit or use an external buffer to mitigate the impact.


3. Determination of stroke of buffer cylinder


In the process of operation, it will effectively pre select the cylinder stroke according to the operating distance of the cylinder and the stroke ratio of the transmission mechanism. In order to facilitate the installation and commissioning, the calculated stroke shall be reserved with appropriate margin. Standard travel should be selected as much as possible to ensure the speed of supply and reduce costs.


4. Installation mode of buffer cylinder


According to the installation requirements of the cylinder, select the installation method of the cylinder.


5. Connecting mode of piston rod of buffer cylinder


After the pre selection of the cylinder, it is necessary to check the stability of the piston rod of the cylinder (especially when the slender cargo ratio is large), and check the air consumption of the cylinder under the actual use conditions.
