Get to know the various high-quality standard cylinders that ensure efficient and safe processes in all industries, especially in tool and mold manufacturing and mechanical engineering. Low maintenance costs, strong and durable, precise assembly, reliable, convincing in everyday use.

Advantages of standard cylinders:

The working medium is inexhaustible air, the air itself does not cost money, the exhaust gas treatment is simple, does not pollute the environment, and the cost is low. Low pressure level, safe to use;

High reliability and long service life. The effective number of electrical components is about several million times, while the life of imported general solenoid valves is more than 30 million times, and the life of small valves is more than 100 million times;

Utilize the compressibility of air to store energy and realize centralized air supply; in intermittent movement, it can release energy in a short time and achieve high-speed response; It has a buffering effect; It has strong adaptability to shock loads and overloads; Under certain conditions, pneumatic devices can protect themselves;

Full pneumatic control is fireproof, explosion-proof and moisture-proof. Compared with hydraulic methods, pneumatic methods can be used in high-temperature occasions;

Due to the small air loss, compressed air can be supplied centrally and transported over long distances.

Disadvantages of standard cylinders:

Due to the compressibility of air, the working speed of the cylinder is easily affected by the load. The use of gas-liquid linkage can overcome this problem;

When the cylinder moves at low speed, the friction force accounts for a large proportion of the thrust, and the low-speed stability of the cylinder is not as good as that of the hydraulic cylinder;

Although the output force of the cylinder can meet the working requirements in many occasions, its output force is smaller than that of the hydraulic cylinder.
