Complete Analysis of Stopper Cylinder Products

Aug 01, 2025

Definition

A Stopper Cylinder is a pneumatic actuator that uses compressed air to drive a piston rod, which in turn moves an external stopper mechanism. It is designed to perform stopping, positioning, or buffering functions, and is widely used in automated production lines, logistics conveyors, and machining processes.

Classification of Stopper Cylinders

Just like other types of cylinders, Stopper Cylinders are available in both single-acting and double-acting versions. They can also be classified based on the stopper motion type, stopper shape, buffering mechanism, and mounting method.

By Stopper Motion Type:

Linear Type Stopper Cylinder
The stopper moves in a straight line. Simple in structure and suitable for most conveyor lines.
Swing Type Stopper Cylinder
The stopper moves in a swinging or rotating manner and can be retracted at a specific angle. This type is advantageous for space-saving and is ideal for applications requiring a retraction function.

By Stoppe

r Shape:

Roller Type
The stopper head is equipped with a roller, suitable for high-speed or heavy workpieces, reducing impact and wear.
Flat Plate Type
Features a flat or vertical plate stopper, suitable for standard conveyed workpieces.
Pin Type
Designed for specific hole positions or precise positioning of workpieces.

By Mounting Method:

Base Mounted
Side Mounted
Inline / Integrated with Conveyor
