Mini pneumatic cylinders—also called miniature air cylinders or small-bore pneumatic actuators—have become one of the most widely used components in modern automation.
Mini pneumatic cylinder is also an component actuator type that uses compressed air to perform mechanical reciprocating motion.
Some equipment or production lines have limited space and cannot accommodate large cylinders, yet require actuators that respond quickly and can be precisely controlled such as Electronic component insertion, plastic part assembly, screw feeding and positioning.Moreover, mini cylinders are flexible and can be modularly combined and arranged, and most importantly, use less air and space, making them economical and cost-effective.
These cylinders use compressed air to generate linear motion, just like standard cylinders, but with much smaller bore sizes, lightweight construction, and lower air consumption, making them ideal for precision automation and space-limited environments.
A mini pneumatic cylinder is a compact air actuator designed for small installation spaces and low to medium force output applications.
Their operating principle is similar to other types of cylinders, using compressed air to drive a piston rod for work conversion, But they were originally designed specifically for the control requirements of precision systems in fields such as laboratories.
Mini pneumatic cylinders has very mini size and the cylinder diameter is generally between 8 mm and 25 mm, the stroke is generally between 25 mm and 500 mm, and the weight is between 40 grams and 260 grams.
In many automation control systems, mini pneumatic cylinder can also achieve stroke position detection and automation by using in conjunction with reed sensor switches to help monitor pneumatic cylinders' travel.The reed sensor switch for the mini cylinder can be selected from the CS1-U and CS1-S series, but requires an additional fixing belt to install.
Types of Mini Pneumatic Cylinders
Mini cylinders come in different structures and materials to match various precision and environmental demands.
MA Air Cylinder: The MA type cylinder mainly adopts a cylinder structure made of round stainless steel.
MAL Air Cylinder: With an aluminum cylinder body, the MAL types of small pneumatic cylinder offers better corrosion resistance and a longer service life.
DSN Air Cylinder:The DSN mini cylinder features a cylinder barrel and end caps made of lightweight aluminum alloy, with a stainless steel piston rod. Its unified dimensions and mounting interfaces make it a standardized and reliable choice for general automation equipment.
These various types of miniature air cylinder are widely used in automation, robotics, and precision equipment, catering to the demands for miniaturization, precision, and efficiency across different industries.
Fescolo provides various types of miniature air cylinders, including MA cylinders, MAL cylinders, and DSN cylinders.
Small Bore and Stroke: The most distinctive feature of this type of cylinder is its miniature design, characterized by a very small bore size and short stroke.
High-Precision Stainless Steel Tube: The DSN and MA miniature air cylinders feature high-precision stainless steel tubes, providing excellent strength and superior corrosion resistance compared to MAL cylinders. These characteristics make them ideal for applications requiring durability and precision in challenging environments.
Various End Cover Configurations: Multiple end cap designs make installation of the miniature cylinder more convenient and flexible for different setups.
Specialized Bidirectional Sealing Structure: Features a compact size and integrated storage function, thanks to its unique bidirectional sealing structure that ensures efficient operation.
Front Cover with Self-Lubricating Bearing Guide: Equipped with a self-lubricating bearing guide in the front cap, providing excellent lubrication performance and ensuring smooth, reliable operation.
