Compact Cylinder

What is the compact cylinder?

Compact air cylinders have the same structural features as standard cylinders, which are composed of end caps, pistons, cylinder barrels, and seals. Piston rod cylinders function in two ways: double-acting and single-acting. Double-acting cylinders use compressed air to power both the extending and retracting stroke (push the rod back or forth). This arrangement makes double-acting cylinders ideal for pushing and pulling loads. Just their dimension is smaller. Compared to ISO Profile cylinders, their dimension is reduced by 60%. But it can have the same bore and force output. Most of their stroke are not too long due to the space request. The original intention of this kind of cylinder is to reduce the space occupied. The reason of choosing this kind of cylinder is that the automation designer have to save space.

Characteristics

Compact air cylinder offers highly engineered, reliable and innovative solutions with the smallest footprint to force ratio, for a wide variety of industrial markets globally. Especially for automation equipment that requires high space utilization, and small tooling.

The application

In the application industry, compact cylinders are generally used in automation equipment with high space utilization. Although they got the same force output with the standard cylinder under the same bore diameter and pressure, but if there is enough space, the standard cylinder is more durable.

What should we do when we intend to use them?

1. If the working load changes frequently, then we recommend that should choose a cylinder with sufficient output. This will not cause the automation equipment to freeze or cause unnecessary losses. If in the high temperature situation, we recommend using high temperature resistant cylinders. Usually, the seal inside the cylinder is replaced with a fluorine rubber seal or a Teflon material.
2. When connecting to the pipeline, be sure to check whether there are objects in the pipeline, such as dust, metal scraps, grit, etc. Because once these are blown into the cylinder, it will quickly damage the seals on the piston and the inner wall of the cylinder barrel, resulting in internal leakage.
3. The compressed air used by the cylinder must be filtered by a filter element (At least 40um). Otherwise, it will seriously affect the service life of the cylinder. (Filter link)
4. If used in a low temperature environment, anti-freezing measures must be taken. Because the moisture in the compressed air will condense on the inner wall of the cylinder and accumulate, eventually making the cylinder unusable.
5. A trial run should be performed before the cylinder is used, and the cushioning modulation of the cylinder should be minimized before running, and then gradually release. In order to avoid excessive pressure causing the piston to run too fast and damage the cylinder.
6. During the usage of the cylinder, side loads must be avoided. The side load will cause the partial sealing surface of the piston of the cylinder and the cylinder wall to produce overload friction. Shorten the service life of the seal. This is a problem that should be paid attention to when using all cylinders.
7. When the cylinder is removed and not used for a long time, pay attention to the anti-corrosion work on the surface of the cylinder, and dust-proof plugs should be added to the intake and exhaust ports.
