The transportation of delicate items often requires greater control of cylinder acceleration and deceleration than is afforded by traditional air cushions. For this reason, SMC has developed the REC sine cylinder. The term "sine cylinder" is derived from the shape of the velocity curve at both ends of stroke. This control is achieved with the addition of two grooves on each cushion spear which
Smooth acceleration/decelation without having influence from load, speed or pressure fluctuation Reference Example) Motion on RECL32-300 Reducing actuation cycle time Pressure Fluctuation Load Fluctuation Pressure (MPa) Pressure (MPa) Pressure (MPa) 0.5 0.5 0.3 0.5 Load (kg) Max. 500 mm/s of high speed transfer is possible.
