Cylinders
Linear: Basic Cylinders
Basic linear cylinders are used to provide straight-line, in/out linear movement for a variety of applications. Basic cylinders are available as single-acting and double-acting with single or double rod and non-rotating models. Body styles include crimped, round, or tie rod. Single-acting cylinders develop thrust in one direction and have lower air consumption compared with the equivalent size of double-acting cylinders. With a double-acting cylinder, air pressure may be alternately applied to provide force in both directions.
Series: NCM, NCJ2, NCG, NCA1, CJ, CM2, CG1, MB, CSI, C85, and C95.
Linear: Compact Cylinders
A compact cylinder functions in the same manner as a basic cylinder with both single and double acting, single or double rod, and non-rotating models. However, compact cylinders minimize space requirements by allowing for precise, direct mounting in the least amount of space possible.
Series: (N)CQ2, NCQ7, CQS, CU, and CUJ
Linear: Rodless Cylinders
Rodless cylinders differ from basic cylinders in that no piston rod extends outside the cylinder body. Instead, the internal piston is connected to an external carriage, by means of a magnetic or mechanical coupling system. Rodless cylinders are ideal for long stroke applications because they are unaffected by rod overhang, bending, piston binding, and uneven seal wear, and for use in confined areas where space is a premium.
Series: CY, REA, MY1, MY2, MY3
Guided Cylinders
Guided cylinders utilize guide rods mounted parallel to the piston rod to provide stable, non-rotating, high side load performance. We offer dual rod, slide table, heavy duty and precision models. Like rodless cylinders, guide rod cylinders reduce rod bending, piston bending and uneven seal wear. Low profile models are available for restrictive space limitations.
Series: Dual Rod–CXS; Slide Table–MXU, MXQ, MXH, MXP, MXS, MXF, MXW; Heavy Duty–MGP, MGQ, MGG, MGC, MGF; Precision–MTS
Rotary Actuators
We offer two of the most common types of rotary actuators: Rack and Pinion and Vane style. In addition, we offer Combination models combining compact cylinders and rotational capability and rotary gripper combinations. When the application calls for rotational motion less than one revolution, rotary actuators can mount right at the equipment joint without taking up space with long stroke lengths, which would be required to do the same job with a linear cylinder. Rotary actuators can achieve arc lengths of 90°, 180°, 190°, or even 270°, depending on the configuration.
Series: Vane Type–MSUB, (N)CRB1 CRB1BW; Rack and Pinion–MSQ, (N)CRQ, (N)CRA1; Combination–MK2, MRQ, MHRQ
Specialty Actuators
We offers a variety of specialty actuators including Sine (smooth acceleration), Load Stopping, and Clamp to name a few. For example, the transportation of delicate items often requires greater control of cylinder speed, acceleration and deceleration than is afforded by traditional pneumatic cylinders. For this reason. These cylinders facilitate high-speed transportation of work but have very smooth actuation (similar to sine wave). For your demanding application look into specialty actuators for a standard solution, or contact our engineering department where we can customize an actuator for you.
Series: REC, REA, RSQ, RSG, RSH, CKZN, CK, MK
Hydraulic
Our hydraulic cylinders offer a wide choice of operating pressures, tube bore sizes, and standardized strokes. Available in lightweight, compact aluminum body. Direct mounting style provides space savings.
Series: CH2, CHN, CHF, CHK
Accessories
To attach actuators we offer rod clevises, mounting brackets and alignment couplers, feedback is provided by the largest selection of auto switches available from any cylinder manufacturer. To control speed we offer shock absorbers, quick exhausts and flow controls in a wide variety of sizes and configurations.
