This pneumatic cylinder is double acting, meaning it requires air to extend and air to retract the rod. It is a globally accepted and widely used standard. The advantage is that it enables world-wide inter-changeability with other major brands such as Festo, SMC or Norgren. The bore size is 16-53 mm and it has a stroke length of 25-300 mm. It has an operating pressure of 0.1-1.0mpa. The piston rod is self lubricating and has a M6×1.0 thread at the end. It has a magnet mounted in the piston. This allows precise position feedback of the rod location by mounting (one or more) magnetic sensors, such as reed or hall sensors, to the valve body. It has an NBR seal and an anodized stainless steel tube with aluminum front and back covers housing, making it durable and capable of operating within a temperature range of -20 to 70°C.
Pros
• It is double acting, allowing for full control of the rod.
• The rod is self lubricating, meaning no lubricators are required in the air system. It will require little maintenance and have a long service life.
Cons
• The product comes with no manual damping adjustment, but still has a cushioning pad.
• Not able to be operated in freezing environments.
