Definition and characteristics
The compact thin cylinder is a cylindrical metal machine, which is mainly used to guide the piston to perform linear reciprocating motion. It has the following characteristics:
Compact structure: The cylinder body is compactly designed, which can effectively save installation space.
Light weight: It reduces the overall weight of the equipment and is easy to install and move.
Small space occupation: It is suitable for use in occasions with limited space.
Good strength: The cylinder body is threaded with the front and rear covers, with good strength and easy maintenance.
Good wear resistance and durability: The inner diameter of the cylinder body is finely processed and then hard-oxidized. The piston seal adopts a special-shaped two-way sealing structure with oil storage function, good wear resistance and durability.
Structure and working principle
The compact thin cylinder is mainly composed of the following parts:
Cylinder barrel: The inner diameter size represents the size of the cylinder output force. The inner surface roughness should reach Ra0.8um. Commonly used materials include high carbon steel pipe, high strength aluminum alloy and brass.
End cover: It is equipped with inlet and outlet ports, and some are also equipped with buffer mechanisms. The rod side end cover is equipped with sealing rings and dust rings to improve the sealing and durability of the cylinder.
Piston: A pressure-bearing part with piston sealing rings and wear-resistant rings. Common materials include aluminum alloy and cast iron. The piston of a small cylinder is made of brass.
Application scenarios
Compact thin cylinders are widely used in various occasions that require precise control and space saving, especially in automated equipment and manufacturing processes. For example:
Electronic equipment manufacturing: On small automated assembly lines, thin cylinders can efficiently complete the handling and positioning of various materials.
Medical equipment: In medical equipment that requires precise control, thin cylinders can provide stable power output.
Automated assembly line: On the production line, thin cylinders can be used for tasks such as material handling, positioning and assembly.
