Caution
The cylinder must be operated within the maximum usable stroke.
Operation at a stroke beyond the maximum stroke could cause breakage of the piston
rod.
There are some cases when the piston rod could break at a stroke less than the
maximum stroke, depending on the application. Please refer to “4) Relationship
between cylinder size and maximum stroke by mounting style” for the maximum usable
stroke.
F 3) Maximum usable stroke due to lateral load:
The area within the solid line shows the relationship between the stroke length and the
allowable lateral load.
i) Judging the external lateral load (Refer to Graph 1)
It is recommended to use the fixed type cylinder so that no lateral load is applied to the
piston rod, but in cases where it is unavoidable, it is necessary to check whether the
lateral load is within the range of safety.
How to judge: The area within the curved line of Graph 1 shows the relationship
between the stroke length and the allowable lateral load acting on the piston rod end.
