Full Time & End Velocity Glossary of Terms: Cylinder s Motion Characteristics (1) Piston start-up time It is the time beteen the solenoid valve is energized (de-energized) and the piston (rod) of a cylinder starts traveling. The accurate judgement is done by the start-up of acceleration curve. (2) It is the time beteen the solenoid valve is energized (de-energized) and the piston (rod) of a cylinder is reached at the stroke. (3) 9% force time It is the time beteen the solenoid valve is energized (de-energized) and the cylinder output is reached at 9% of the theoretical output. (4) Mean Values hich devided stroke by full stroke time. In the seuence or diaphragm, it is used as a substituting expression for full stroke time. (5) Max. It is the maximum values of the piston hich occurs during the stroke. In the case of Graph (1), it ill be the same values as stroke. Like Graph (2), hen lurching or stick-slipping occurs, it shos substantially larger values. (6) It is the piston hen the piston (rod) of a cylinder is reached at the stroke. In the case of a cylinder ith adjustable cushion, it says the piston at the cushion entrance. It is used for judging the cushion capability and selecting the buffer mechanism. (7) Impact It is the piston hen the piston (rod) of a cylinder is collided ith the external stopper at the stroke or arbitrary position. (Reference) Balancing : If a cylinder having enough longer stroke is driven by meter-out, the latter half of a stroke ill be in an uniform motion. Regardless of the supply pressure or a load, the piston speed for this time ill be depent only on the effective area S [mm 2 ] of the exhaust circuit and the piston area A [mm 2 ]. Balancing = 1.9 x 1 5 x (S/A) [mm/s] is estimated ith this formula. Note) These definitions are harmonized ith SMC Model Selection Program.
