Describe the type and selection of Pneumatic cylinders

May 12, 2024

In terms of functionality (compared to the design situation), there are many types, such as standard cylinders, freely installed cylinders, thin cylinders, pen shaped cylinders, double axis cylinders, three-axis cylinders, sliding cylinders, rodless cylinders, rotating cylinders, gripper cylinders, etc. These types of cylinders are more commonly used.

In terms of function, it is divided into single effect and double effect. The former is divided into two types: rebound (cylinder extends through air pressure, spring elasticity retracts) and compression (cylinder retracts through air pressure, and extension has two types of cylinders, which are usually used for short stroke, low requirements for output force and motion speed (low price, low energy consumption), while dual effect cylinders (both cylinders extend and retract through air pressure) have a wider range of pressure applications.

Characteristics of commonly used cylinders:

1.Standard cylinder: If we use a standard cylinder as the standard, the standard cylinder itself is square and has a relatively large volume.

2.Free installation cylinder: From the perspective of name, there are multiple installation methods, which are more comfortable and smaller.

3.Thin cylinder: relatively thin, with a moderate volume.

4.Pen shaped cylinder: shaped like a pen, with a relatively small volume.

5.Dual axis cylinder: With two output shafts, the output force is twice that of a single axis cylinder, and the output shaft will slightly shake.

6.Three axis cylinder: There is one force output shaft and the other two shafts are guide shafts, but there is also vibration.

7.Sliding table cylinder: The sliding table cylinder has high accuracy and is generally composed of one output shaft and two guide rails, with high accuracy.

8.Rod less cylinder: Compared to other cylinders, the stroke of a rodless cylinder is twice that of other cylinders at the same length, with a single axis operation and relatively small volume, saving space.

9.Rotating cylinder: The output motion is rotational motion, and the rotation angle is generally between 0-200 degrees.

10.Fixture cylinder: The fixture cylinder is an output action, as well as a clamping and opening action.

In addition, we have many aluminum cylinder tubes for making cylinders, and we can also provide piston rods, cylinder kits, etc.
