SINGLE ACTING CYLINDER

DOUBLE ACTING CYLINDER

Linear cylinders have the following standard diameters as recommended in ISO:

8, 10,12,16,20,25,32,40,50,63,80,100,125,140,160,200,250,32

CYLINDER SIZE

Force (N) = Piston area (m2) X air pressure (N /m2)Or

Force (lbf) = Piston area (in2) X air pressure (lbf/in2)

DETERMINE CYLINDER SIZE

Extending stroke: FE = D = piston diameter, g = working pressure

Retracting stroke: FR = D = piston diameter, d = rod diameter, g = working

pressure

SPECIAL CYLINDER

High lateral load resistanceHigh non-rotating accuracy

High precision and ideal for pick and place operations

TWIN ROD

MULTI-POSITION ROD

LOCKED ROD

For limited space

CYLINDER WITHOUT ROD
