Ultra-slim pneumatic cylinder featuring a pen-shaped profile for space-constrained automation applications. Precision-machined guide structure ensures smooth linear motion with ≤0.5mm lateral play. Features double-acting operation with integrated magnetic field for sensor compatibility. Corrosion-resistant anodized surface treatment with IP54 equivalent protection.

Typical Applications:

• PCB handling robots in electronics assembly
• Micro-dosing valve actuators in medical devices
• Precision positioning stages for optical equipment
• Compact clamping mechanisms in CNC tool changers
• Automated test probe positioning systems

Installation notes: Maintain ≤0.1mm alignment tolerance during mounting. Apply silicone-based grease (ISO VG10-32) for high-cycle applications. Avoid side load exceeding 2N·m. For vertical mounting, use speed controller to prevent piston free-fall.

Dynamic Characteristics:

• Max speed: 500mm/s (with cushioning)
• Service life: 5,000km travel distance (under standard conditions)
• Repeat positioning accuracy: ±0.1mm (with guide mechanism)
• Air consumption: 6.8L/min @0.5MPa (double acting)
