Compact Cylinders
As the name Compact Cylinder indicates, this cylinder is compact in size and is usually shorter than a standard cylinder. Compact cylinders using compressed air are most often the primary solution when space is limited and mechanical actuation is desired. These cylinders are often referred to as Short Stroke cylinders. These are perfect for space-constrained applications or anywhere high force and shorter stroke are required.
These are available in both Single Acting / Double Acting with Single Rod/Dual Rod along with multiple mounting options. Even auto switches can be mounted on 2-4 surfaces. Some cylinders can be mounted directly on multiple sides
Benefits of Compact Cylinders:
- Lighter in weight
- Comes with small auto switches
- Helps in reduction in labour work due to lesser components
- Helps in reduction in labour for design
- Helps in reduction of installation space
Compact air cylinders are selected by their ability to perform a specific function. These functions are boundless. Some common applications and industries that typically employ compact air cylinders are:
- Automotive assembly
- Conveyor systems
- Custom-built machinery and equipment
- Door and window frame manufacturing
- Material handling
- Packaging and printing
- Plastic mold machinery
- Robotics
- Semiconductor processing
