FAQs
Ensure correct Rc1/8 fittings and brackets, align the magnetic piston with sensor positions, and mount the cylinder using standard Roundline compatible patterns. Use certified lubricants and verify port orientation to prevent leakage and misalignment during stroke.
Operating pressure ranges from 1 to 10 bar, and the cylinder is specified for -10 to 80 °C. Always confirm with the latest datasheet for regional allowances and material compatibility when employed in extreme environments.
Yes, the 40 mm bore and 80 mm stroke, combined with buffer cushioning and low-friction seals, support fast actuation with reduced wear. For speed optimization, ensure proper valve sizing, supply pressure, and sensor timing within your control system.
Datasheet variants typically list CE conformity and IP-rated options depending on configuration. Verify the exact approvals for your region and application in the official documentation, and select the appropriate version for hazardous or washdown environments.
The magnetic piston enables straightforward sensing, while long-life seals and a robust end-cap design reduce downtime. Space savings shorten installation and retrofitting time, contributing to lower total cost of ownership through fewer replacements and higher machine uptime.
