In the process of industrial automation, DC speed-regulating micro electric cylinders, as key equipment that can accurately convert the rotational motion of servo motors into linear motion, have been widely used in numerous fields due to their excellent high precision, high speed, high load capacity, and good stability.
So, what are the common selection misunderstandings of DC speed-regulating micro electric cylinders? Next, we will elaborate on this.
Many people lack in-depth analysis of their actual working conditions when selecting models, such as failing to fully consider the nature of the load (constant load, variable load, or impact load).
-
If a DC speed-regulating micro electric cylinder suitable for constant loads is used in impact load conditions, it is highly likely to cause premature damage to the cylinder.
-
Requirements for operating speed and acceleration are also overlooked. If the selected cylinder's speed or acceleration cannot meet the actual production cycle, it will seriously affect production efficiency.
-
Working environment factors are often ignored. For example, in high-temperature, high-humidity, highly corrosive, or high-dust environments, using a DC speed-regulating micro electric cylinder with a standard protection level will significantly reduce its service life and performance.
Some users believe that higher parameters are always better and blindly pursue ultra-high precision, excessive load capacity, and 过快的速度 (too fast speed) when selecting DC speed-regulating micro electric cylinders.
-
In reality, excessively high parameters not only significantly increase costs but may also lead to resource waste.
-
For example, in ordinary industrial applications requiring only ±0.1mm precision, choosing a high-end DC speed-regulating micro electric cylinder with ±0.01mm precision is not only expensive but may also be 不利于日常使用和维护 (unfavorable for daily use and maintenance) due to the equipment's excessive precision, which imposes higher requirements on installation environments and operator skills.
Price is undoubtedly an important consideration in model selection, but relying solely on price as the sole criterion often leads to misunderstandings.
Low-cost DC speed-regulating micro electric cylinders on the market may have serious defects in materials, manufacturing processes, and component quality.
-
For instance, cylinders using low-quality lead screws suffer from low transmission precision, rapid wear, and significantly shortened service life. In the later stages, frequent repairs and replacements may incur costs far exceeding the initial procurement savings.
-
Moreover, the performance and stability of low-price products are difficult to guarantee, potentially negatively impacting the normal operation of the entire production system.
Some users do not prioritize brand reputation and after-sales service when selecting models. Micro electric cylinders from small or unbranded manufacturers often have inconsistent product quality due to a lack of R&D capabilities and quality control systems.
-
Once a fault occurs during use, the absence of a professional after-sales team may result in delayed repairs and technical support, causing prolonged equipment downtime and huge economic losses for enterprises.
-
Additionally, without comprehensive after-sales service, the maintenance of DC speed-regulating micro electric cylinder equipment is difficult to ensure, further affecting its service life.
