Compact cylinders
In the realm of industrial automation, compact cylinders stand out for their efficient design, which maximises performance in confined spaces. These devices, also known as compact pneumatic cylinders, are essential for a wide range of applications where space and speed are critical.
Types and Design
There are various types of compact cylinders, including short-stroke cylinders and stopper cylinders, both of which are variations of compact cylinders that offer solutions for specific applications requiring short but powerful movements.
Application Advantages
Compact cylinders, characterised by a high degree of versatility, are used in numerous industrial applications, especially those requiring rapid movements and significant forces in confined spaces. In industrial automation, they are used for precise motion control in production lines where space is limited. In the automotive industry, they contribute to the automation of assembly and testing processes. In the packaging sector, they are essential for rapid and repetitive operations such as filling, labelling, and packaging. Additionally, they find application in robotics, to operate joints and mechanisms in tight spaces. Known for their reduced maintenance and long service life, they also feature a solid and reliable construction that ensures continuous and trouble-free operation, even under the most challenging conditions.
Technical Features
Widely used in automation and motion control systems, they are designed to maximise force in minimal space. Their compact structure makes them ideal for applications with space constraints. Despite their compact size, these cylinders can generate significant force. The movement speed is controllable and can vary depending on the air flow and cylinder dimensions. Most compact pneumatic cylinders are double-acting, meaning they can exert force in both directions of movement. They are usually constructed from durable materials such as aluminium or stainless steel to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. Moreover, these cylinders generally require minimal maintenance, but it is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure long life and optimal performance.
