In the operation of automated equipment, the positioning accuracy of small electric cylinders is directly related to equipment stability and product qualification rate. Many users are concerned about: How long can the accuracy of a small electric cylinder be maintained? How to deal with accuracy degradation?

1. How Long Can the Accuracy of Small Electric Cylinders Be Maintained?

There is no fixed value for the accuracy retention period of small electric cylinders; it mainly depends on the working conditions, load status and daily maintenance.

Under normal use and proper maintenance:

- The repeat positioning accuracy of small electric cylinders can be stably maintained for 3 to 5 years;

- Small electric cylinders support **24-hour uninterrupted operation;

- The normal service life of small electric cylinders is 3 to 5 years, and our company provides a 1-year warranty.

If the small electric cylinder is used in a favorable environment, under moderate load and with timely maintenance, some units can operate stably for a much longer period than the above.

2. Key Factors Affecting the Accuracy Retention of Small Electric Cylinders

The following conditions accelerate the wear of core components such as screws and bearings, leading to premature accuracy degradation:

- Operating conditions: High load, high frequency and continuous high-intensity operation will accelerate mechanical wear.

- Working environment: Harsh environments such as dust, moisture, corrosive gas and extreme temperatures.

- Maintenance: Lack of regular lubrication or use of incorrect grease will significantly aggravate component wear.

- Installation and force conditions: Misalignment, lateral force or insufficient frame rigidity will cause abnormal wear.
