Working Mechanism

  • The air is passed into one side of the cylinder and the internal pressure gradually increases, exerting force on the piston.
  • As a result, the piston moves in a determined direction, driven by this elevated pressure.
  • The resultant force is transmitted to the intended object through the piston rod.
  • Air cylinders utilise compressed air as the working fluid in their operations.

Features

  • They offer MX5 / MS4 mounting for secure attachment and enhanced stability.
  • These NFPA air cylinders feature aluminium construction and come with anodized aluminium end caps, ensuring lightweight and enhanced safety.
  • They have piston rods made of chrome-plated steel for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.

Standards and Approvals

  • NFPA

Frequently Asked Questions

How are double acting air cylinders better than single acting air cylinders?

Double acting cylinders are commonly preferred pneumatic actuators because they can extend and retract faster, making them more efficient and precise compared to single acting cylinders.

What factor should be considered while selecting these Speedaire double-acting NFPA air cylinders?

  • Choose the cylinder type based on your application requirements.
  • Ensure the cylinder pressure rating is compatible with your system's operating pressure.
  • Select a mounting style that best suits your application.
  • Consider the construction material to ensure long-lasting performance in challenging environments.

How to maintain these double acting air cylinders?

  • Conduct visual inspections to identify damage, wear or leakage.
  • Keep cylinders clean by removing dirt and debris using appropriate methods.
  • Regularly check seals for wear, replace them as needed and ensure proper lubrication.
  • Ensure proper mounting and alignment to prevent stress and premature wear.
