Pneumatic cylinders with guides
Pneumatic cylinders with guides
This section contains pneumatic cylinders with guides that have enhanced rod resistance to lateral loads, as well as a subtype of pneumatic cylinders with a fixed anti-rotation platform.
Questions about pneumatic cylinders and guides
What are the guides of a pneumatic cylinder?
The guides of a pneumatic cylinder are usually two cylindrical rails on bearings, which are rigidly fixed parallel to each other and to the rod. This design strengthens the pneumatic cylinder rod to prevent its bending from lateral and radial loads.
When are guides for a pneumatic cylinder used?
It is recommended to use guides for double-acting pneumatic cylinders if the rod stroke length exceeds the diameter by more than twice, as well as in cases where vibrations are present on the object or radial loads can be applied to the rod. This particularly applies to power pneumatic cylinders for presses, for which guaranteeing the alignment of the clamping surface is difficult.
In addition, guides can be used to fix the anti-rotation platform on single and double-acting linear cylinders.
What are the types of pneumatic cylinders with guides?
Guides can be attached to any variety of linear pneumatic cylinders.
By the method of installing guides:
- pneumatic cylinders with built-in guides in the body (EM series, seamless cylinders CG2, CG3)
- separate guides for pneumatic cylinders (SC-DH guides for standard ISO 6432 pneumatic cylinders)
By type of guides:
- Sliding guides with radial bearings (more affordable)
- Rolling guides with ball or roller bearings (longer-lasting and precise)
