S-160-2/S-160-2R Double Convoluted Rubber Bellows 98mm Height YOKOHAMA Air Spring Repalcement

S-160-2/S-160-2R Double Convoluted Rubber Bellows 98mm Height YOKOHAMA Air Spring Repalcement

Product Description

The GUOMAT F-160-2 press air spring is a high-performance solution designed to replace the original YOKOHAMA S-160-2, playing a crucial role as a "pneumatic balancer" in press equipment. This product achieves true direct replacement; its mounting interface, geometry, and key performance parameters are fully compatible with the original Yokohama parts, ensuring users can install and remove it immediately without any equipment modifications, significantly reducing maintenance downtime. During press operation, it uses the force generated by internal compressed air to precisely balance the weight of the heavy slide and die, effectively eliminating transmission system backlash, reducing impact vibration, and preventing accidental slide slippage during shutdown, thereby ensuring production safety, improving stamping accuracy, and protecting the core mechanical structure.

Applications of Air Springs in Punch Press Equipment

1. Balancing the Immense Weight of the Slide and Die
The slide, connecting rod, and upper die of a punch press are typically very heavy. Air springs, by filling with compressed air, generate a continuous and powerful upward thrust, precisely balancing this weight. The benefits of this are:

Reduced Drive Energy Consumption: The motor and transmission system do not need to overcome the entire weight, significantly reducing the torque and energy consumption required for operation.

Ensuring Smooth Operation: It avoids operational instability caused by the immense weight, making the slide's movement more controllable.

2. Eliminating Transmission System Clearance and Protecting Core Mechanisms
Small clearances exist between the crankshaft, connecting rod, and other mechanisms of a punch press. Without a balancing force, these clearances will generate significant impact and noise (commonly known as "knocking") due to the sudden change in force direction during the slide's downward movement. The upward force provided by the air spring ensures that the transmission mechanism maintains close contact throughout the entire working cycle, thereby:

Eliminating Impact and Noise: Greatly reducing equipment operating noise and improving the working environment.

Extending Equipment Lifespan: Effectively prevents wear and fatigue damage to core components such as bearings, gears, and crankshafts caused by gap impacts, extending the overall machine's service life.

3. Ensuring Operation and Maintenance Safety: This is a crucial safety function of air springs.

Preventing Accidental Slider Drop: When the equipment is stopped, molds are changed, or maintenance is performed, as long as a certain air pressure is maintained within the air spring, the slider can be reliably suspended in any position. This effectively prevents the slider from accidentally falling due to gravity, providing crucial safety assurance for operators and maintenance personnel.

4. Improving Stamped Product Quality: In high-speed precision stamping, even the slightest vibration can affect product accuracy.

Smoother Operation: By balancing weight and eliminating gaps, the slider's movement trajectory is more precise and smoother.

Reducing Vibration: Reduced vibration generated during operation is crucial for ensuring the contour accuracy of stamped parts and reducing burrs, especially critical in the manufacture of electronic components, precision connectors, and other products.

GUOMAT Factory gate：

Established in 2008, Our company covers 20,000㎡ and is located in Taihe Town Baiyun District. With the rapid development of our company, we are equipped with modernized workshop and advanced rubber air springs equipments now. We are the first company who started air spring business and has become one of the largest air spring manufacturing bases in China.

In 2017, we launched a collaboration with High Tech of US customers to customize the products of our customers and the logo of our customers. Every year, there are about 10,000 orders. In continuous cooperation, the products meet the international inspection standard ISO/TS16949:2009, and the customers are very satisfied with the products produced. This is our high recognition from American customers and also gives us Great motivation.

In 2018, we started cooperation with German GmbH, mainly industrial air springs, which are suitable for industrial equipment. We have successfully developed and produced the natural air-seal of the skin to reach the 700mm flanged air spring, the customer's annual demand is a few hundred.

With the development of business and demand for customers, our company introduced business with TomLog Corporation in 2010, our strategic cooperative partner in Taiwan. Then we developed air compressor program and air spring related business, in 2015, America Goodyear Corporation met with the transfer of shares in the North American plant, our company was granted with sale agent for air springs in China, providing more choice for our customers. Our company adopts the most advanced domestic air spring processing equipment and international production technology. Combined with unique production process, our company strictly execute international standards for production and spare no efforts to create the world-class products. We will endeavor to make air spring widely used at home and abroad, and let more and more customers to enjoy the best damping effect.
