General Purpose Cylinders (Stroke: L: 1,530)
Common cylinders are parts that take the form of a cylindrically shaped container with a fluid sealed inside. They are major components in machinery such as internal combustion engines and steam engines. A piston moves in a reciprocating motion inside the container. Cylinders are used for applications requiring functions such as multi-point positioning, emergency stops or fall prevention. Example uses include moving objects onto conveyors, and opening/closing workpiece locks or hoppers. When selecting a cylinder model, criteria such as the cylinder's drive direction, speed and size should be considered along with the load movement distance, operating temperature range and operating environment.
