Description of cylinder selection precautions

01 Select KEYSTONE cylinder diameter: Determine the cylinder diameter according to the load size, running speed and working pressure. The important selection steps are as follows: 1 Determine the load weight (including the weight of the movable part such as workpiece, clamp, guide rod, etc.); Select the air pressure to be used (compressed air pressure supplied to the cylinder); 3 determine the direction of cylinder operation.

02 Selected cylinder stroke: The stroke of the cylinder is related to the use occasion and the stroke ratio of the mechanism. In order to facilitate the installation and debugging, a proper margin should be left for the calculated stroke. Standard strokes are used as much as possible to ensure fast delivery and reduced costs.

03 Selected cylinder series: Select the appropriate cylinder series according to the purpose of use, cylinder diameter and stroke range.

04 Selected installation form: determined by factors such as installation location and purpose of use. Fixed cylinders are generally used.

05 Selected buffer form: Determine whether to use the buffer device according to the speed of the piston. The cylinders are configured with different buffering devices. The customer can choose according to the actual load movement condition. If the load and speed are large, it is difficult to absorb the impact capability only by the buffer of the cylinder itself. It is necessary to design a buffer circuit or use an external buffer. KEYSTONE Butterfly Valve

06 Whether the cylinder is magnetically selected: When the pneumatic system is electrically controlled, a cylinder with a magnetic switch can be used.

07 Selected accessories: such as solenoid valves, throttles, fittings and even tubes, seemingly insignificant but affect performance. Of course, as long as the problem of pneumatic selection is solved, the other can basically be matched according to the form.

08 Other requirements: If the working environment is bad, install a dust cover on the protruding end of the piston rod. No oil or oil-free cylinders are required when no pollution is required.

Cylinder selection is not a skill that can be opportunistic. If you want to master it, in addition to learning cylinder knowledge, collecting some empirical data, and helping to select the type, you can't relax the accumulation of basic common sense. For example, in general, single-acting cylinders are equipped with two-three. The common sense of such a solenoid valve, double-acting cylinder with two-way five-way solenoid valve should be a few treasures.
