FAQs
The Roundline family supports common end-cap and side-m mounting arrangements, with a 32 mm bore and Rc1/8 port that fit standard pneumatic valve blocks. For retrofit projects, verify existing mounting holes and align with manufacturer patterns to minimize rework. Use the magnetic piston for straightforward sensing integration with PLCs and optical sensors.
This cylinder is specified for -10 to 80 °C operation and 1 to 10 bar (15 to 145 psi) supply pressure. Confirm your system’s lubrication and filtration requirements, ensure clean compressed air, and adapt cycling rates to sustain seal life and consistent force output in high-speed applications.
The body materials include a stainless steel (austenitic) barrel and a martensitic piston rod, which provide enhanced corrosion resistance. While suitable for many washdown environments, verify your specific cleanliness and exposure requirements against the datasheet and ensure appropriate seals and ingress protection match your regulatory needs.
Yes. The cylinder features a standard magnetic piston for easy position sensing, and buffer cushioning minimizes impact forces at end-of-stroke, improving repeatability and reducing vibration. For high-precision cycles, pair the sensor with a compatible controller and verify mounting alignment to prevent misreads.
Low-friction seals and stainless steel components reduce wear and maintenance intervals, contributing to higher uptime and lower total cost of ownership. Regular air quality management—filters, regulators, and lubes—will further extend service life, while the robust end-cap design decreases the risk of component failure under dynamic loads.
