    Pneumatic cylinders use compressed air to convert pressure into straight line mechanical force and motion. There are several types of cylinders including single acting, double acting, cushioning, and multi-position cylinders. Cylinders come in various designs depending on the application and can be mounted in different ways to influence their service life and movement characteristics.

    Pneumatic Cylinders

    1
    Introduction
    • Cylinders convert the pressure into straight
    line mechanical force and motion
    • Compressed air entering one end of the
    cylinder and causes the piston to move
    • Higher pressure will created a greater force
    • The speed of piston is determined by the
    flow rate of compressed air

    2
    Features of Pneumatic cylinders
    • Single acting cylinder
    – It has power stroke in one direction only
    – A small air vent is require at the dead end of
    the cylinder to prevent air locking
    – A compression spring returns the piston to its
    original position when the compressed is
    exhausted
    – Used for clamping, ejecting, lifting & feeding
    3
    Features of Pneumatic cylinders
    • Double acting cylinder
    – It has power stroke in both directions
    – No air vent is needed as pressure is require
    in both extending and retracting motions

    4
    Features of Pneumatic cylinders
    • Cylinder cushioning
    – they are double acting cylinder come with the
    feature of cushioning
    – piston will slow down toward the end of the
    stroke in either direction of movement

    5
    Types of Cylinders
    • Cylinder with double sided piston rod
    – with single piston rod emerging from both of
    the cylinder
    – used when equal thrust or speed in both
    direction to be equaled

    6
    Types of Cylinders
    • Tandem cylinder
    – consist of 2 or more cylinders mounted inline
    with pistons connected by common piston rod
    – increased output force
    – smaller diameter
    – shorter stroke

    7
    Types of Cylinders
    • Multi-position cylinder
    – consist of two or more cylinder connected
    together
    – two cylinder having a different stroke length
    – two cylinder placed back to back will enable
    of four different positions
    0 100 200 300
    Stroke 100 mm Stroke 200 mm

    8
    Types of Cylinders
    • Impact Cylinder
    – producing high kinetic energy and high thrust
    – initial exposed piston area is small
    – whole piston area exposed suddenly when
    piston started to move forward
    – force increases and the piston accelerated
    rapidly

    9
    Cylinder Mountings
    • Mounting methods of cylinders will
    influence the service life
    • 3 main categories of mounting
    – centerline mounting
    – foot mounting
    – pivot mounting
