The difference between swing air cylinder and common pneumatic cylinder

May 21, 2021

There are great differences between swing cylinder and ordinary cylinder, mainly in different structure, different size, different operation mode, different calculation and unit of force, and different material.


1. The structure of swing cylinder is different from that of ordinary cylinder. Swing cylinder is divided into rack and pinion swing cylinder and vane swing cylinder.


2. The size of swing cylinder is different from that of ordinary cylinder. The swing cylinder is mostly used in the station with limited installation position, while the ordinary cylinder is rarely limited by space.


3. The operation mode of swing cylinder is different from that of ordinary cylinder. The external dimension of the swing cylinder is the size of its own space, but the ordinary cylinder will have an extended stroke, which is larger than its own size.


4. The calculation of force and the unit of force are different between swing cylinder and ordinary cylinder. The swing cylinder calculates the output force torque in nm, while the ordinary cylinder calculates the output force in n


5. The material of swing cylinder is different from that of ordinary cylinder. Generally, the swing cylinder is made of aluminum alloy. Because of the demand of operation position, the swing cylinder is developing to lightweight. Aluminum alloy can ensure its ultra-high hardness and ultra light quality. General cylinder has stainless steel, cast iron and other different materials.
