The Compact Pneumatic Cylinder is one kind of cylinder under ISO 21287 standard with a maximum working pressure of up to 10 bar (1000 k Pa) and bore sizes from 20 mm to 100 mm. Compact cylinders feature a piston rod configuration and function either as single-acting or double-acting cylinders.
As offers a space-saving and lightweight solution, the compact cylinders feature a cylinder barrel that is the same width along the body, which can mean space savings of up to 50% compared to ISO 15552 cylinders. Simply put, compact pneumatic cylinders offer the longest stroke possible in the smallest overall envelope size.
Usually compact pneumatic cylinders can be applied in a wide range of industrial applications. For single-acting cylinders, that may include everything from conveyors to material handling equipment and printing presses. And double-acting cylinders are commonly used in assembling, clamping and positioning applications to name but a few.
