How to use a dual rod cylinder?
For those actuating components in pneumatic system, the main purposes are loading, clamping, positioning and stamping…etc., and there are several types: cartridge cylinder, free mount cylinder, compact cylinder, stop cylinder, linear guide cylinder, dual rod cylinder, guide cylinder and rodless cylinder per type.
Two types of dual rod cylinder: dual rod air cylinder and slide table air cylinder.
➤ Actuating principle of dual rod cylinder
- Please make sure the main rod retracts and there is back pressure in cylinder to prevent the main rod from extending suddenly when actuating.
- When air gets in the cylinder from right port, the piston and main rod will be pushed out by air, and the air in cylinder will be exhausted from left port. There are double pushing force because two pistons are pushed.
- When air gets in the cylinder from left port, the piston and main rod will be pushed back by air, and the air in cylinder will be exhausted from right port. There are double pulling force because two pistons are pushing.
