7.
Ensure that the hardness of the surface directly impacting
the piston rod of the shock absorber is over HRc40
(excluding models with rubber or plastic caps).
8.
Be aware that performance and characteristics change
depending on the operating temperature.
9.
Rubber caps are consumable parts.
The service life will vary
depending on conditions of the application, replace these
parts according to their condition.
1.
Mount the shock absorber so that the load contacts at the
center of the rod, and it is not subjected to off-centered loads.
An off-centered load could result in breakage or defective rod
returns.
2.
Two or more shock absorbers can be mounted in parallel, to
boost absorption capacity. In such an arrangement, however,
be careful to ensure that the load is evenly absorbed by each
shock absorber.
3.
If using a shock absorber with a plastic or rubber cap, always
mount a stopper nut (-S) or an external stopper to ensure that
the cap is not subjected to loads at the stroke end.
You can use a shock absorber with plastic cap without a
stopper nut or external stopper, but over the long-term, the
stop location changes due to cap deformation and wear.
4.
For swing impacts, ensure that the angle of eccentricity
between the load direction and the center line of the shock
absorber is at or below the specification values shown as
following. For KSHP14
×
12 (outer diameter M14) or smaller
models, 1
°
or bellow. For KSHP16
×
15 (outer diameter M16)
or larger models, 3
°
or bellow.
5.
If using a shock absorber with a rubber cap for lateral
impacts, such as eccentric or swing impacts, note that the
rubber cap may come off or be damaged.
6.
When mounting the shock absorber, always use the following
maximum tightening torque guidelines. Tightening using
excessive force may result in damage.
1.
For the
KSHP10
to
KSHP42
models, align the red mark on the
adjusting knob to the 6 on the scale. For the
KSHP6
and
KSHP8
models, align the 6 on the scale to the key slot on the body.
2.
For large impacts on collision or if a long time is required for a
full stroke, reduce the value on the scale gradually.
3.
Always tighten the lock screw to fix the knob in place after
completing adjustment. (excluding
KSHP6
and
KSHP8
)
Mounting
Adjusting the shock absorbing capacity
Cover the unit when mounting it in locations where it might be subject
to excessive dust, dripping water, dripping oil, etc. Dents, scratches,
water, oil, or dust on the piston rod results in damage and decreases
service life.
