How to select cylinder type? The following main steps for selection:


(1) From the action, it can be divided into single action and double action. The structure diagram is shown in the figure. The former is divided into spring pressing back and pressing out. It is generally used in the occasions with short stroke and low requirements for output force and movement speed (low price and low energy consumption). The double action cylinder is more widely used( Note: do not equate single acting cylinder with double acting cylinder with or without magnetic ring)


(2) In terms of function (more fitting design), there are many types, such as standard cylinder, composite cylinder, special cylinder, swing cylinder, air claw, etc., among which the more commonly used are free installation cylinder, thin cylinder, pen shaped cylinder, double rod cylinder, slide cylinder, Rodless cylinder, rotary cylinder, claw cylinder, etc., as shown in the figure, As long as you know the general characteristics and corresponding models of various cylinders, you can use the time adjustment (standard parts drawing) to come out!


Based on the application of cylinder in dynamic characteristics or spatial layout, when we choose cylinder in practice, we should first determine an appropriate category and consider it from three aspects: functional requirements, spatial requirements and accuracy requirements.
