What is the Pneumatic Cylinder Brand
Autoair mainly distribute below brand pneumatic cylinders.
ISO 6431 is an international standard specification for pneumatic cylinders, and brands like SMC, Airtac, and Festo all manufacture pneumatic cylinders according to the ISO 6431 standard. Standard cyli
nders have interchangeable mounting dimensions and structural specifications. Most of the Pneumatic cylinder products from the following cylinder brands also follow this standard.
SMC
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end brand, it offers a comprehensive product line covering a wide range of pneumatic components. With strong innovation capabilities and a global manufacturing and service network, it is well-suited for various industries such as automotive manufacturing, electronics, semiconductors, and medical equipment. The pricing is in the mid-to-high range, offering excellent cost performance.
FESTO
Provides high-end pneumatic air cylinder with extremely high product quality, strong technological innovation capabilities, and a comprehensive global service network. Supports customized solutions and can be used in high-demand industries such as industrial automation, automotive manufacturing, electronics and semiconductors, and food and beverage. But the price is relatively high, but reliability is strong.
AIRTAC
The brand is positioned with a focus on cost performance, offering a wide range of products with stable quality. It is suitable for industries such as machinery manufacturing, packaging, electronics, and plastic molding, making it ideal for users with limited budgets who still require reliable products.
The Function of the Pneumatic cylinder:
The pneumatic cylinder is the core actuator in the pneumatic system. Its main function is to convert the pressure energy of compressed air into mechanical energy, realize linear reciprocating motion or swinging motion, and thus drive various mechanical equipment to complete the predetermined action. Specifically, the role of the pneumatic cylinder can be understood from multiple application scenarios and functional dimensions:
1. Realize linear motion
This is the most common function of the pneumatic cylinder. Compressed air enters the rodless chamber or rod chamber of the pneumatic cylinder, pushing the piston to make linear reciprocating motion along the pneumatic cylinder barrel, thereby driving the piston rod to output force or displacement.
2. Provide power output
The pneumatic cylinder can output thrust or pulling force to the outside through the piston rod, and the magnitude of the force is related to the compressed air pressure and the effective area of the piston.
Features: The output force is relatively stable, the response speed is fast, and it is suitable for short-stroke and high-frequency power requirements.
3. Realize swing or rotation motion
Some special types of pneumatic cylinders (such as swing pneumatic cylinders) can convert air pressure energy into swing motion of a limited angle (usually 90°, 180° or 360°) through internal structure design.
4. Control motion accuracy and rhythm
By cooperating with pneumatic valves, sensors and other components, the pneumatic cylinder can achieve precise stroke control, speed regulation and action timing control, meeting the requirements for motion accuracy and rhythm in automated production.
5. Adapt to harsh environment operation
Compared with electric actuators, pneumatic cylinders have strong dust resistance, moisture resistance and vibration resistance, and are suitable for working in highly polluted, humid or impact environments (such as mining machinery, engineering machinery, food processing workshops, etc.).
In short, as a high-efficiency, low-cost and easy-to-maintain power actuator, the pneumatic cylinder is widely used in machinery manufacturing, automated production lines, automotive industry, metallurgy, light industry and other fields, and is an important basic component for realizing mechanization and automation.
