Mini pneumatic air cylinder, also known as Miniature pneumatic cylinder, is usually made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy round barrel. The cylinder diameter range is from 6mm to 40mm, and it is generally installed in a relatively small space.
MA and DSN stainless steel mini air cylinder can be used in the food industry or in corrosion-resistant environments. Compared with large-sized cylinders such as SC, DNC, SU, etc., miniature air cylinders are small in size, light in weight, easy to install and with lower production cost.
Modern equipment strives to maximize space utilization, and component size requirements are becoming increasingly stringent. Mini air actuators are compact and streamlined, making them ideal for integration into complex mechanical equipment because reasons as follows:
Some equipment or production lines have limited space and cannot accommodate large cylinders, yet require actuators that respond quickly and can be precisely controlled. Moreover, mini cylinders are flexible in operation, can be modularly combined and arranged, and most importantly, use less air, making them economical and cost-effective. Therefore, the application of mini cylinders is very clear.
Next,I will show you the types, characteristics and related properties of various mini air actuators.
Mini cylinders, also known as small pneumatic actuators, are compact and lightweight design with relatively low maximum load capacity. 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 pay great attention to lightweight. 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 cylinder
Like other actuators, there are many types of mini air cylinders.However, the focus of their application features is different.
MA Air Cylinder: The MA type cylinder is taking into account the design of limited space and efficient performance.
MAL Air Cylinder: With an aluminum body, the MAL types of small pneumatic cylinder offers better corrosion resistance and a longer service life.
DSN Air Cylinder:This type of small cylinder uses internationally recognized standards, featuring high market recognition and strong interchangeability.
SMC air cylinder:Stainless steel cylindrical shape CJ2 series,Pen cylinder CJP series,Ultra thin mini cylinder CU series and so on.
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.
Features of mini pneumatic cylinder
Small Bore and Stroke: The mini pneumatic cylinder features a very small bore and stroke, ideal for compact applications where space is limited.
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.
