It may seem to you that it is just another cylinder, like any other. But it is not.

It is an all-steel pneumatic cylinder, 280mm bore and 797mm stroke, with a female fork at the front and a male ball joint at the rear. Designed for extreme conditions.

It incorporates an oversized 125mm pistón rod, considerably larger than usual, which improves the load capacity and prevents vending. Both charactheristics, essential to generate the force required in this application.

Many of the components used in the manufacture of this cylinder are treated to improve the strength of the assembly, reduce wear and provide protection against corrosion, which is basic in harsh environments. 

In addition, seals are protected, thus extending the service life of the cylinder. Seals are critical components that wear out over time. This feature contributes to increased cylinder durability and reduced maintenance.

At 6 bar pressure it generates a force of 3.69 tonnes, making it a very suitable solution for demanding industrial applications, when installing a hydraulic cylinder is not an option.

As a nutshell, this steel pneumatic cylinder with oversized piston rod and treated components is an ideal solution for applications in extreme conditions where significant force and long-term durability are required. Corrosion protection and extended seal life are additional features that make this cylinder suitable for harsh environments.

They say beauty is on the inside, but, without being overbearing, I find it beautiful even on the outside ?.

Great job, team!

 

We have just manufactured two electro-pneumatic control cabinets, for the mixing of argon and nitrogen, implementing Industry 4.0 concepts.  This is an automated and digitised control system used to create specific gas mixtures, improving the efficiency and quality of industrial processes.

Industry 4.0 has revolutionised the way companies work. Advanced technologies are integrated for the automation and intelligent control of industrial processes, improving their efficiency, precision and responsiveness. Our cabinets are equipped with systems that allow the gas mixing process to be efficiently controlled and monitored. They allow the flow rates and pressures of these gases to be automatically adjusted according to the required specifications. They incorporate sensors to measure the concentration of argon and nitrogen in real time, which allows the system to automatically adjust the proportions of each one to keep the mixture within the required values. In this way, we also manage to obtain precise data that help in decision making and allow preventive maintenance, which avoids unplanned shutdowns.

By the way, the cabinets are 6 metres long each and are the longest we have made in the 60 years we have been in the market. It has been a challenge to make them, but we have succeeded.

More than one person clapped when they saw them leaving our facilities.

Congratulations to the whole team for this great job.

 

Like the battle droids in Star Wars Attack of the Clones

Like the Minions attentive to the enthusiastic speech of their favourite villain

Like the terracotta warriors of Xi'an.

So lie our cylinders, waiting to spring into action.

 

 

We are many companies manufacturing pneumatic cylinders under ISO 15552 (ISO 6431) and VDMA 24562 Standards. But not all manufacturers are the same. AirControl pneumatic cylinders are very well known because of their robustness, durability and excellent value for money. It may sound like a catch-phrase, so we would like you to give us the chance to quote to you the cylinder you need and check it by yourself.

We have two standard series: 701 series, made of round tube with tie rods, with tube diameters from 32 to 320 mm and 705 series, made of profiled tube, with diameters from 32 to 100 mm. Both series have several fittings available, strokes, possibility of high temperature joints, stainless steel piston rod, bellows, steel tube, chromed steel tube, double piston rod...
