Specifications and Selection Guide
The document provides detailed specifications for the LCX series pneumatic cylinders, including models LCX-25-30-M6 and LCX-32-50-S6. It outlines the process for selecting the appropriate cylinder based on load factor, speed, and energy absorption. The selection involves confirming load factors, determining bore size, and calculating kinetic energy to ensure compatibility with shock absorber or rubber cushion type stoppers.

Procedures
The document describes a step-by-step procedure for selecting the right cylinder model. This includes:

Step 1: Confirming load factor and bore size.
Step 2: Confirming speed at stroke end and G coefficient.
Step 3: Confirming allowable energy absorption.
Step 4: Confirming static load allowable.
Step 5: Confirming allowable traveling load value.

Each step involves specific calculations to ensure the selected model meets operational requirements.

Safety and Standards
The document emphasizes the importance of adhering to safety standards such as ISO 4414 and JIS B 8370. It outlines safety precautions, including ensuring device safety mechanisms are in place and observing corporate standards related to device design and control. It also provides a disclaimer regarding the warranty and liability limitations.

Recommendations and Best Practices
Recommendations include using the product within specified conditions, consulting CKD for special applications, and ensuring proper installation and maintenance. The document advises against using a 3-position valve with the cylinder and highlights the importance of maintaining a load factor of 50% or less.

Installation and Adjustment
Guidelines for installation include observing specific bolt insertion lengths and tightening torques. The document also advises on maintaining a safe distance between cylinders to prevent malfunction and recommends replacing the shock absorber if performance drops.

Key Data and Calculations
The document includes various formulas and calculations for determining load factors, kinetic energy, and moments. It provides examples of selection and calculation processes to guide users in choosing the appropriate cylinder model.

Individual Precautions During Use & Maintenance

Grease Application: Apply AFF grease (THK) to guide rails every six months or every 1,000,000 operations, whichever comes first.
Pressure Warning: Applying pressure from port A in a locked state can be hazardous. Ensure pressure is supplied to port B and no load is applied when releasing the lock.
Pre-load Adjustment: Do not adjust the hexagon socket head set screw as it may reduce product performance.

Position Locking Type LCX-Q

Quick Exhaust Valve Caution: Avoid using a quick exhaust valve as it may prevent the locking pin from releasing correctly.
Negative Pressure Warning: Negative pressure can release the lock. Use a solenoid valve as a discrete unit or an independently exhausted manifold.
Manual Override Caution: Only use manual override during adjustments and ensure the locking mechanism is returned to its original position.
Installation Warning: Release the lock during installation or adjustment to prevent damage.
Synchronization Warning: Do not use multiple cylinders with position locking mechanisms simultaneously.
Speed Control Valve Usage: Use with meter-out control to ensure locks are released.
Stroke End Usage: Always use up to the stroke end of the side with the lock to ensure proper lock application and release.

Linear Slide Cylinder LCG Series

Rigidity and Weight Reduction: The use of aluminum tables reduces weight by 10%, and the wide guide enhances rigidity.
Design Flexibility: Symmetry of the stopper, multi-side piping, and positioning hole enhance design possibilities.
