Any component of a cylinder can be replaced, so if a single part is damaged, there is no need to replace the entire actuator.
The aluminum cylinder barrel is a replaceable main body component of a pneumatic actuator made from aluminum alloy. It provides the space for the piston and piston rod to move, and, with the assistance of seals and other sealing elements, forms an airtight chamber for compressed air.
Aluminum has excellent thermal conductivity, and the aluminum cylinder barrel provides the actuator with superior heat dissipation conditions. Compared to steel or stainless steel cylinders, aluminum cylinder barrels focus more on overall lightweight design, corrosion resistance, machining precision, and cost-effectiveness.
Aluminum cylinder barrels come in various types, and each cylinder model has corresponding shape specifications. Features such as mounting holes, slots for magnetic reed switches, and the cylinder’s inner and outer diameters are pre-machined on the barrel, making them suitable for a wide range of working conditions.
Using aluminum cylinder barrels significantly improves production efficiency and product yield, while greatly reducing manufacturing costs, making them the top choice when replacing actuator cylinder barrels.
