If you plan to specify Hepco's HPS Powerslide-2 guided rodless cylinder
system, have you thought about the benefits of including a shock
absorber? While this may add to the initial costs, the company says this
is more than outweighed in performance terms. System life can be doubled
or even trebled, and operating speeds increased to enhance productivity.
Hepco is now supplying HPS Powerslides and SH shock absorbers as
ready-to-mount packages. The cushioning that this new combination
provides prevents any impact forces from damaging the internal elements
of the pneumatic cylinder and reduces wear on the guidance system itself.
It also reduces stress on associated parts, and ensures quieter operation.
