Pneumatic Cylinders for Automation and Machine Building

Cylinder Warehouse supplies pneumatic cylinders for machine builders, automation engineers, system integrators and production equipment manufacturers.

The available range covers established ISO formats alongside compact, guided, rodless and manufacturer-specific cylinders for new machine designs and replacement programmes.

Applications

• Automated assembly systems
• Special-purpose machinery
• Pick-and-place equipment
• Conveyors and transfer lines
• Test and inspection equipment
• Fixtures and tooling
• Packaging systems
• Process machinery

Selection for a new machine

For a new design, the cylinder should be selected around the complete movement rather than bore and stroke alone.

Consider:

• Required force in both directions
• Available operating pressure
• Stroke and overall installed length
• Required cycle time
• Moving mass
• Side loads and moments
• Mounting orientation
• End-of-stroke cushioning
• Position sensing
• Environmental conditions
• Maintenance access

Standardised cylinder formats

ISO cylinder formats can make future replacement and mounting selection easier, particularly where a machine will be produced in volume or operated across several sites.

Manufacturer-specific cylinders may still be the better choice where the application requires reduced size, specialised guidance, lower mass or a feature not available within the relevant ISO format.

Multi-brand options

Access to several pneumatic manufacturers allows Cylinder Warehouse to support both specified-brand projects and applications where availability, value or technical fit is more important than a single brand.

Proposed alternatives will be identified clearly, with relevant dimensional or technical differences explained before supply.
