Here, we note the basics of selecting cable carriers, which are used to protect cables and hoses in machine drive units. The following is a note on the basics of cable carriers, which are used to protect cables and hoses in machine drive units.

: Mechanism Design of 2 Axes Synchronized by Air Cylinders｜Practical Guide

2026/3/4 Air Cylinder/Spicon, Design method

This section notes "mechanism design of two axes synchronized by air cylinders," which is basically not allowed in FA automatic machine design. In the design practice of automatic machines, it is necessary to design a mechanism that can raise and lower a workpiece horizontally or ...

: Fall Protection Design of Air Cylinders｜Practical Guide

2026/2/27 Air Cylinder/Spicon, Design method

Here, we note a "technique for preventing air cylinders from falling" that is inexpensive and easy to incorporate into automatic machines. When designing an automatic machine that lifts and lowers a vertical axis, it is important to prevent a workpiece from falling when the air supply is cut off.
