Pneumatics 2 Flashcards
it has one air inlet to produce power stroke in one direction.
Single Acting Cylinder
sealing my means of flexible material that is
embedded in a metal or plastic piston.
Piston Cylinder
a built in diaphragm which can be made of rubber, plastic or even metal, replaces the function of the piston
Diaphragm Cylinder
it has a similar construction with diaphragm when compressed air is admitted, the diaphragm unrolls along the inner wall of the cylinder and moves the piston rod outwards.
Rolling Diaphragm Cylinder
Characteristics of Single Acting
Cylinder
- it has a built in spring
- limited stroke
Applications of single acting cylinder:
a. Clamping
b. Ejecting
c. Pressing
d. Lifting
e. Feeding
it has two air inlets to produce extending and retracting power
strokes.
Double Acting Cylinder
this
cylinder has a piston rod protruding from both sides.
Cylinder with Double Sided Piston Rod Cylinder
it involves two double acting cylinder which
have been joined to form a single unit.2.
Tandem
Cylinder
this consist of two or several double
acting cylinders.
Multi
position Cylinder
this cylinder is use in a very long strokes.
Rodless Cylinder
is a precision linear actuator of compact dimensions which can be used on a manufacturing and assembly robotic machines.
Slide Units
this cylinder provides a direct connection
between vacuum generating equipment and a vacuum pad attached to
the rod working end.
Hollow Rod Cylinder
an actuator designed to grip components in
robotic type applications.
Air Chuck (Gripper)
a cylinder with the piston rod has a gear tooth profile with the piston rod drives a gear wheel.
