Oct 13, 2021

Cylinder is an important part of pneumatic components. Pneumatic components include air source processing components, pneumatic control components, pneumatic actuator and pneumatic auxiliary components. The cylinder belongs to pneumatic actuator. The cylinder does not belong to the compressor. It performs the action of extending and returning through compressed air


Compact cylinder:


Under the condition of maintaining the existing action accuracy and product service life, its total length is only 1 / 2-1 / 3 of that of the general cylinder; The embedded installation mode is used, and no accessories are required to meet the requirements of space saving. Simple assembly method is adopted for design, which is convenient for assembly, disassembly and maintenance; An assembly slot is reserved outside the body, so that the installation, fixation and position adjustment of the magnetic switch are extremely simple. The utility model has the advantages of small shaft surface size, less space occupation, light structure, beautiful appearance, can bear large transverse load, and can be directly installed on various fixtures and special equipment without installing accessories.


2、 Selection of thin cylinder and ordinary cylinder


1. Check the standards adopted by the brand cylinder. If it is an enterprise standard, it shall be compared with the industry standard.


2. Inspect the appearance and no-load performance of the cylinder:


a. Appearance: the surface of cylinder barrel and piston rod shall be free of scratch, and there shall be no air hole and sand hole at the end cover;


b. No load performance: put the cylinder in the no-load state and make it run at low speed. See the speed without crawling. The lower the speed, the better.


3. Pay attention to the installation form and size of the cylinder. The installation size can be put forward when ordering from the manufacturer.
