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 cylinder has many types include standard and non-standard types of cylinders, as well as compact, rodless, guided, mini, and rotary cylinders, suitable for applications in automatic assembly lines, robotic arms, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and laboratories.
Linear motion actuators are available in two types: single-acting and double-acting. A single-acting actuator is driven by compressed air in one direction and returns by a spring, while a double-acting actuator is driven by compressed air alternately in both directions.
Rotary actuators can achieve fixed-angle rotary motion and are commonly used in applications such as fixture rotation, sorting robotic arms, and valve drives.
Standard cylinders are a highly versatile and compatible choice with multiple stroke available for a wide range of applications.Fokca mainly supply three types of standard cylinder include iso 6431,airtac and smc and common stroke include 25~1000mm.
(1)Pneumatic Cylinder ISO6431
Including Compact and lightweight design，DNC Series standard air cylinder is Suitful for serving as general automation equipment with limited space.Its volume is about 20% smaller than ISO 6431 cylinders, but its load capacity is moderate.
The universal high-performance SI Series air cylinder balances precision and durability, suitable for medium to long range applications, with magnetic switch slots for easy sensor integration.
And enhance the impact resistance of DNG Series pneumatic cylinder, suitable for high-frequency and high load scenarios.
(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.
