Air Cylinder Mounting Styles

Lightweight construction and solid non lube design with proven reliability make the series 2ma cylinder the high performance long lasting economical choice for your air cylinder applications.

Air cylinder mounting styles.

Cylinder piston and rod velocity is dependent on the rate that fluid or compressed air can be introduced into one end of the cylinder or exhausted from the other end. The 4ma series cylinder is a ruggedly constructed highly configurable all purpose design. Typical velocities range up to 24 inches per second. With 6 bore sizes 10 nfpa mounting styles and a variety of options the 2mnr is easily adaptable.

The aluminum body and machined aluminum end caps make the 4ma a light weight solution. For this reason side mounted cylinders produce a torque moment as the cylinder moves the load. Flange mounts can provide greater rigidity and strength helping reduce the chance of misalignment. Other mounting styles support attachment to the auto switch.

Aluminum tube with steel tie rods. Common pneumatic cylinders follow global standards for inter changeability and the two most common standards are iso 6432 for mini round cylinders ø 8 25 mm and iso 15552 for profile cylinders ø 32 320 mm. Premium quality and economy in one. These mounting styles have lugs on the end closures and one style has side tapped holes for flush mounting.

With 8 bore sizes 20 nfpa mounting styles and a variety of other options the 4ma is easily adaptable to practically any application. Miller recommends that cylinders be ordered with cushions when maximum velocities exceed 2 inches per second. Many air cylinders commonly have a round body made of steel stainless steel aluminum or brass. Cylinder mounting styles fall into three major groups.

A pneumatic cylinder is a mechanical device that creates a linear motion by converting energy from compressed air. The 2mnr cylinder is ruggedly constructed with a non rotating piston design. The plane of their mounting surface is not through the centerline of the cylinder. Here s a closer look at each.

Pneumatic cylinder mounting accessories how they work. Fixed mounts that absorb force along the cylinder centerline including extended tie rod centerline lug and flange mounts should be used whenever possible. Air cylinders can have front nose basic style double clevis or another mounting style used for attachment to rigid surfaces. Centerline mounts the best way to support a cylinder is along its centerline.
