Pneumatic cylinder (Druckluftzylinder) A pneumatic cylinder converts compressed air into controlled linear motion. This component delivers dependable push or pull force where electric or hydraulic solutions are less practical, offering simple, fast actuation with minimal maintenance. Key benefits Precise, repeatable linear motion for positioning, clamping, lifting, or pushing tasks. Simple integration into existing compressed-air systems — works with standard valves, fittings, and sensors to control speed and stroke. Low maintenance and long service life when installed and serviced according to your system’s requirements. Quiet and energy-efficient operation compared with many alternatives, especially in cyclic applications. What it does (function) Converts air pressure into straight-line motion to actuate mechanisms, tools, or fixtures. Can be used for single-acting or double-acting applications depending on your system control. Compatibility Designed to work with compressed-air systems and common pneumatic components (valves, fittings, tubing, flow controls). Installation requires matching the cylinder’s mounting and porting to your machine; confirm fit and connection type before installation. Important attributes Function: provides controlled linear actuation using compressed air. Size and stroke: selected according to application requirements; verify bore and stroke when ordering. Materials and seals: built for reliable sealing and wear resistance in typical pneumatic applications; check specific material details for corrosive or high-temperature environments. Performance: delivers dependable cyclic operation and force proportional to supplied air pressure and piston area; control of speed and cushioning achieved via valves and flow controls. Typical applications / use scenarios Assembly line: driving a pick-and-place gripper or a part-positioning fixture to ensure consistent repeatable motion. Packaging machinery: performing push-off, fold, or clamp operations where quick, reliable strokes are required. Industrial automation: actuating valves, gates, or safety guards where a compact, air-powered linear actuator is preferred. Installation and service tips Match the cylinder’s mounting style and port locations to your equipment and secure all fittings. Use appropriate air treatment (filter, regulator, lubricator) to extend sealing and bearing life. Periodically inspect mounting hardware, seals, and connections for wear or leaks. If you need specific dimensions, mounting type, or compatibility details, confirm the exact model information before purchase to ensure proper fit and performance.
