Air Cylinders（Environment, Applications：Low Friction (Internal Resistance)）

Air cylinders are mechanical parts that produce linear motion from compressed air. Air cylinders are usually considered to have a simpler mechanism and provide smoother drive than oil-based hydraulic cylinders. They are composed of a cylinder and piston, and prevent compressed air leaks using seals made of rubber or other materials. Air cylinders can be differentiated by the different ways they operate in combination with the motion of their spring. Examples of these different operation types include single-acting (push type), single-acting (pull type) and double-acting. Push-type single-acting cylinders have a valve that is normally kept open by the spring force and closes only when the cylinder is pressurized. Pull-type single-acting cylinders have a valve that is normally kept closed by the spring force and opens only when the cylinder is pressurized. Double-acting cylinders don't use the force of a spring. Instead, the pressure is divided between a top chamber and bottom chamber to open and close the valve. Different cylinders should be used for different operating environments since there are cylinders designed for use with specific conditions such as high speeds, high frequencies, ultra-low speeds, heat resistance, cleanrooms and vacuum. MISUMI handles several well-known brands such as SMC, CKD and Koganei.

FAQ Air Cylinders

Question: What is an air cylinder? How does an air cylinder work?: Answer: An air cylinder, also known as a pneumatic cylinder, is a mechanical device that uses compressed air to produce a force in a reciprocating linear motion. They are commonly used in various industrial applications for automation, material handling, and machinery. An air cylinder works by introducing compressed air into the cylinder chamber, which forces the piston to move. Depending on the design, the piston can move back and forth, providing linear motion that can be used to perform work such as lifting, pushing, or pulling.
Question: What are the key specifications of general purpose cylinders?: Answer: General purpose cylinders come with critical specifications that define their performance. Bore size, representing the internal diameter, directly influences the force output — a larger bore delivers more force but may impact speed. Stroke length, indicating the distance the cylinder travels, is pivotal for ensuring the cylinder can execute the required motion. Operating pressure, the force generated at a specific pressure, is crucial for determining the cylinder's capability.
Question: How do I select the right cylinder model?: Answer: Choosing the appropriate cylinder model involves a nuanced assessment. Understanding force requirements is paramount; the cylinder must deliver the necessary force for the application. Environmental factors, such as temperature and exposure to contaminants, should guide the selection. Additionally, considering space constraints ensures the chosen cylinder fits seamlessly into the designated area, with compact models being advantageous in confined spaces.
Question: What applications do general purpose cylinders serve?: Answer: General purpose cylinders find versatile applications across industries. In material handling, they play a pivotal role in conveyor systems and robotic arms for efficient movement of items. In clamping applications, these cylinders secure workpieces in fixtures, ensuring stability during various manufacturing processes. Their versatility extends to tasks requiring linear force, making them indispensable in pushing and pulling applications.
Question: What materials are these cylinders made from?: Answer: The materials used in general purpose cylinders impact their performance and longevity. Aluminum cylinders, owing to their lightweight nature and corrosion resistance, are ideal when weight is a critical consideration. Stainless steel cylinders, on the other hand, offer durability and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for applications in harsh environments where resilience is paramount.
Question: What is the importance of cylinder I.D. and stroke length?: Answer: Cylinder I.D. (Internal Diameter) and stroke length are pivotal considerations in the selection process. A larger I.D. results in more force output, but engineers must balance this with available pressure in system. Stroke length is equally crucial, determining the range of motion the cylinder can achieve. Engineers must ensure that both parameters align with the specific requirements of the task at hand to optimize the cylinder's functionality in the given application.
