AirTAC's commonly used cylinders include SC tie rod cylinders, SU Mickey Mouse Shape cylinders, SDA thin wall compact air cylinder, etc.
Our SC type tie rod cylinder has simple structure, stable quality and low production cost. The minimum cylinder diameter is 32mm, and the maximum cylinder diameter reaches 320mm.
If you are looking for high-precision and durable cylinders, SMC standard air cylinders, as a well-known Japanese brand, are widely recognized in the field of industrial automation for their excellent performance and reliability. In contrast, Airtac cylinders focus more on cost-effectiveness and fast supply, suitable for users with different needs.Airtac is a well-known brand specializing in the research and manufacturing of pneumatic components, with products widely used in automation, mechanical processing, packaging, electronics, automotive and other fields. Pneumatic Cylinder is one of its core products, which is highly favored by small and medium-sized automation equipment manufacturers due to its compact structure, reasonable price, and stable performance.
Reasonable price positioning, high cost-effectiveness.
Rich in categories, suitable for various installation and working conditions.
Most models offer standard ISO compatible design for easy replacement.
Airtac offers a variety of pneumatic cylinder series to meet different installation spaces and work requirements.
Small bore SC cylinders such as 32mm~100mm are often used in automated production equipment, and large bore airtac cylinders are often used in large lifting equipment, such as trucks, lift tables, etc.
Since the SC cylinder does not have a special magnetic reed switch installation slot, an additional magnetic switch installation bracket is required when installing them.
SU Mickey Mouse type pneumatic cylinder and SC tie rod air cylinder have exactly the same installation and positioning dimensions, and almost all installation accessories of SU and SC can be used interchangeably.
The biggest difference between this two type is that the SU Mickey Mouse Shape air cylinder does not need another tie rod, and its mounting and fixing threads are directly processed on the four reinforcing ribs of the cylinder barrel. The installation and assembly are very convenient.

What are the outstanding advantages of pneumatic cylinder airtac compared to SMC cylinder？
| Comparison Item | Airtac | SMC |
| Price | Medium, high cost-performance ratio | Higher |
| Precision | Sufficient for standard applications | Better suited for high-precision control needs |
| Maintainability | Interchangeable parts, easy to repair | Highly integrated, usually replaced as a whole |
| Service Life | Medium to slightly above average | Longer, highly reliable |
Summary:
If you require high-end performance and operation in extreme environments, SMC is the preferred choice;If you prioritize cost-effectiveness and reliable performance for general applications, cylinder airtac is a great option.
◆ Working pressure: 0.1~1.0MPa
◆ Ambient temperature: -20~80℃
◆ Applicable fluid medium: Compressed air, non-corrosive gas
◆ Operating speed: 30-800mm/s
◆ Applicable reed switch types: CS1-M, CS1-U series, etc.
Confirm that the cylinder model and dimensions match the design drawings.
Inspect the cylinder body and piston rod for any damage during transportation.
Install the mounting components
Connect the air tubing and quick fittings, ensuring correct orientation and proper sealing.
Turn on the air supply, adjust the cushion valve, and check whether the cylinder operates smoothly.
The piston rod must not bear lateral loads.
Do not forcibly push or pull the cylinder when there is no air supply connected.
It is recommended to use an air preparation unit (FRL: Filter, Regulator, Lubricator) to maintain air quality.
Proper maintenance can significantly extend the service life of the cylinder and reduce downtime.
Regularly check for air leaks: Use soapy water to detect whether the seals are aging or damaged.
Lubrication: Some models like SC series require periodic greasing. Alternatively, use an air preparation unit with a lubricator (oil mist) for continuous lubrication.
Clean the cylinder body: Prevent dust or metal particles from entering the piston rod or guide sleeve.
Replace seals regularly: If you notice air leaks or a drop in thrust, replace the seals in time.
Slow movement: Check the air supply pressure and adjust the cushion valve.
Failure to start: Inspect the solenoid valve and ensure stable air supply.
Abnormal noise: This may be caused by internal debris or piston rod wear.
Cylinder diameter size: determines output force
Travel length: selected according to actual working conditions
Installation methods: ear shaft type, tripod type, flange type, etc
Working environment: high temperature, high dust, oil-free, etc
Choose the SU series cylinder in a space constrained scenario, with a compact appearance and a stainless steel rod structure; Stainless steel piston rod material, no lubricant is required for subsequent maintenance; In industrial applications that require universality and cost-effectiveness, the SC series aluminum alloy cylinder tube material, carbon steel chrome plated piston rod material, and industrial wind structural design are used.
Some models can withstand temperatures up to 80°C. For high-temperature applications, it is recommended to select models with specialized sealing materials.
With proper installation and clean air supply, the service life can reach 10 to 20 million cycles.
If they belong to the ISO series, they are mostly interchangeable. Some non-standard series may not be compatible.
