Fokca Pneumatics produces pneumatic actuators of different types and functions, and also has types that can serve as alternatives to the relevant series of festo, smc, and airtac.
What is a pneumatic cylinder?Pneumatic air cylinders are the most critical mechanical action components in a pneumatics. The working principle of a cylinder is to convert the pressure energy of compressed air into mechanical energy to drive external loads, producing linear or rotary motion to perform actions such as pushing, pulling, clamping, lifting, and rotating.
Air Cylinders include standard cylinders, compact cylinders, rodless cylinders, guided cylinders, miniature cylinders, and rotary cylinders, and are widely used in automated production lines, robots, food and beverage equipment, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and laboratory automation.
Linear motion actuators are available in two types: single-acting and double-acting.
● Single-Acting Cylinder
This cylinder action is driven by compressed air in one direction, returning via an internal spring.
● Double-Acting Cylinder
Compressed air alternately drives movement in both forward and backward directions, this action cylinder offers stronger and more stable performance.
Rotary cylinders output fixed-angle rotational motion, commonly used in:Fixture rotation,Sorting robotic arms,Valve actuation.
Standard cylinders offer strong versatility, multiple bore sizes, and flexible stroke lengths (commonly 25–1000 mm). Fokca provides three main standard cylinder series:
(1) ISO 6431 Pneumatic Cylinder
DNC Series – Compact and Lightweight
◆ 20% smaller volume vs. standard ISO6431
◆ Suitable for equipment with limited space
◆ Medium load capacity
SI Series – High Precision, High Durability
◆ Ideal for medium to long travel
◆ Integrated magnetic switch slots
◆ Stable performance
DNG Series – Enhanced Impact Resistance
And enhance the impact resistance of DNG Series pneumatic cylinder, designed for high-frequency and heavy-load applications.
(2)Airtac Standard Pneumatic Cylinder
The SC series cylinder, with a structure of 20-100mm, is more compact and competitively priced. Its installation size is partially compatible with ISO standards, making it suitable for cost sensitive general industrial applications and retrofitting of ordinary equipment.
Ultra compact design, with a width reduced by 25% compared to ISO standards and a cylinder diameter range of 10-25mm, SU series cylinder is suitable for limited space and special dust-proof design.
(3)SMC Standard Air Cylinder
MBB Series cylinders are built in dual guide rod structure, strong lateral force resistance, suitable for eccentric loads.
Low friction sealing technology, with a speed of up to 1.5m/s (0.5m/s for ordinary cylinders). The starting pressure is as low as 0.02MPa, and the response is sensitive. The seal has a long lifespan,
CA1 CDA1 series cylinder without lubricating oil for piston rod.
This type of cylinder uses an internal piston to drive an external slider for linear reciprocating motion, offering long stroke capability while saving installation space.
This type of guided cylinder features two parallel guide rods that provide high lateral stability and torque resistance, ensuring smooth and precise linear motion for heavy-load or high-precision applications.
