End stop for Air cylinder
Hi Folks
I've encountered a difference of opinion and wonder how others implement this.
In adding an air cylinder to a design the client has asked for a solid mechanical stop slightly before the limits of the cylinder. Not at the same spot, not slightly behind but slightly before. Anyone else do it this way?
I have always had the mechanics stop on the same spot as the cylinder bottoming and mostly use cylinders with end position cushions to decelerate the load unless it's too much then I would have other kinds of shock absorption measures but the point was the mechanics stop at the same time as the cylinder.
