Why should you care about cylinder air accessories?

Cylinders are one of the most common and critical actuators in industrial automation systems. They convert the energy of compressed air into linear or rotary mechanical motion. Cylinder accessories include mounting brackets and cylinder assembly kits. These accessories not only ensure uniform force distribution and stable positioning during cylinder operation, but also help reduce mechanical vibration and wear, thereby extending the overall service life of the equipment.

Cylinder accessories include various types such as brackets in different orientations, mounting kits, and rod end joints. In the following section, we will mainly introduce the different types of cylinder accessories and the mounting components suitable for various actuator types.

Different types of pneumatic cylinder accessories

Cylinder components can be divided into two categories: assembly kits that make up the cylinder itself and can be replaced as needed — including the piston rod, sealing rings, cylinder barrel, and cushioning parts that maintain normal cylinder operation — and auxiliary components that enhance the cylinder's additional functions, such as sensors and mounting bracketssuitable for airtac and mini cylinder. These components come in a wide variety of types and brands, each with different functions and features.

Cylinder Assembly Kit

• Seal Kit
• Piston Rod Assembly
• End Cap
• Cushion Parts
• Guide Rings, O-Rings, and Other Sealing Components
• Cylinder Barrel
• Sensors and Limit Switches
• Piston Rod

Mounting accessories

Mounting accessories include different orientations of  mounting bracket and connecting parts,pneumatic company fokca provide three kinds cylinder accessories include ISO cylinder,airtac cylinder,mini air cylinder.

◆ Mounting Accessories For ISO air cylinder

CB Rear Female Clevis Mount:Used to connect the rear end of the cylinder to a pivoting point, allowing angular movement during operation.

CA Rear Male Clevis Mount:Serves as a rear mounting accessory that provides a pivoting joint connection for flexible cylinder movement.

SDB Rear Mount Bracke:A rear fixed mounting bracket used to secure the cylinder body firmly in place.

LB Foot Mount Bracket:Used to mount the cylinder horizontally on a surface or base for stable and fixed installation.

FA/FB Type Flange:A front or rear flange mount that provides a rigid and precise method of securing the cylinder to machinery.

TC Type Bracket for SI Cylinder:A special bracket designed for SI-type cylinders, used for stable and accurate mounting.

Y Type Joint Clevis:A clevis joint used to connect the piston rod end to a moving part, allowing limited angular motion.

B Type Bearing Joint (Fish Eye Joint):A spherical rod end that allows self-alignment and smooth motion compensation under misalignment.

FK Type Float Joint:A floating joint that compensates for minor misalignment between the cylinder rod and the driven mechanism.

I Type Joint:A straight-type rod end joint used to directly connect the piston rod to other mechanical parts.

◆ Mounting Accessories For Airtac air cylinder

CA/CB mount bracket:Suitable for SC Series cylinders with rear clevis (CA/CB) mounting, allowing the cylinder to swing during operation and ideal for applications requiring angular adjustment.

FA/FB flange mount bracket:Suitable for SC Series and SU Series cylinders with front or rear flange (FA/FB) mounting, providing firm installation and precise positioning, commonly used for fixed installations.

LB/TC foot mount bracket:Suitable for SC Series and SU Series cylinders with foot (LB/TC) mounting, enabling the cylinder to be securely fixed on a flat base with a simple and reliable structure.

These Airtac mounting accessories are mainly used for fixing and installing Airtac-type cylinders. They provide stable support according to different mounting positions and methods (such as rear, flange, or foot mounting), ensuring accurate positioning and stable movement of the cylinder during operation.

◆ Mounting Accessories For Mini air cylinder

LB Foot Bracket for DSN, MA, MAL Mini Crimp Cylinder:A foot mount bracket used to securely fix mini cylinders onto a flat base for stable installation.

SDB-25-MA Foot Mount Bracket(U-32 U Hinge): a U hinge suitable for MA / MAL / DSN or other mini cylinder series, used to mount the cylinder end and allow swinging or angular adjustment during operation.

FA-25-MA Flange Mount:a flange mount suitable for MA / MAL / DSN mini cylinders, enabling the actuator to be fixed at the front or rear end through a flange.

These components are mounting accessories used to securely install and connect various types of mini air cylinders, ensuring proper alignment, stable operation, and reliable mechanical support during use.

Pneumatic cylinder accessories company

If the air preparation units are responsible for treating the compressed air in the system to ensure efficient and long-term stable operation of other components, then the mounting accessories are specifically designed to ensure the pneumatic cylinder's fixation and positioning, while the connection accessories guarantee proper force transmission and error compensation. By selecting the appropriate types of accessories, the cylinder’s operational stability, service life, and maintenance convenience can be significantly improved, thereby reducing maintenance and replacement costs in later industrial operations.
