What is a compact cylinder?
The compact cylinder is a high-quality cylinder product and is very important in industrial production. It is usually around or square cylinder, which guides the piston in a linear reciprocating motion. In recent years, the compact air cylinder is widely used in industry as an essential metal machine part in machinery manufacturing. You can see it in printing plants, the automation control industry, and robot manufacturing industry, etc.
Professional cylinders can convert the pressure energy of compressed air into mechanical energy to drive machines in linear reciprocating, oscillating, and rotating movements. Among them, high-quality pneumatic cylinders with diverse advantages have been widely noticed by industrial production machine builders. Compact pneumatic actuators offer short strokes in a compact, thin design, allowing you to use them in very tight spaces. Current pneumatic cylinder manufacturers design compact cylinders ranging from inches to 4 inches, with a maximum standard stroke of 4 inches. These cylinders typically have the longest possible stroke and the smallest package size.
What types of compact cylinders are available?
Compact cylinders are typically available in a variety of styles, sizes, and mounting options. The two most common types of compact cylinders are the single-acting pneumatic cylinder and the double-acting pneumatic cylinder. The single-acting pneumatic cylinder provides force in only Single acting pneumatic cylinders provide force in only one direction to extend or retract the piston rod. This is an ideal configuration if your application requires force in only one direction or involves a no-load return. Single-acting cylinders are also popular for safety reasons if a defined position must be taken in the event of a power failure. Double-acting compact cylinders use direct pressure to extend and retract the piston rod. They can be used for linear actuation and control in a variety of applications including food processing, material handling, and automated sorting systems. Compact cylinders are also available in single-rod or double-rod designs. Single rod designs typically include a spring that allows the rod to extend or retract. Double rod cylinders have equal displacement on both sides of the piston and are very useful for industrial machinery movements.
How to choose the right compact cylinder?
High-performance cylinders will integrate top-quality internal components. For example, the Vilop brand CQ2 series compact cylinder is made with heat resistant material, so it has good heat resistance. CQ2 series pneumatic cylinder can work at 150℃. In addition, to reduce wear, the bearings of this high-quality cylinder product are oil lubricated, so the piston rod does not require lubrication.
Since cylinders are often used in tight or limited spaces, look for standard bore sizes between 0.5" and 4". In addition to specifying the correct configuration, it is important to ensure that your compact cylinder meets the proper dimensional requirements. Cylinders made of non-metallic composites are susceptible to dings, dents, and other damage. That's why you should choose a reliable cylinder supplier. Vilop manufactures compact cylinders that are well regarded worldwide. To meet the mounting needs of various machine models, Vilop also offers a wide range of mounting accessories in-cylinder kits.
