Pneumatic Cylinder – Reliable Motion for Industrial Automation
Pneumatic cylinders are essential actuators used in modern automation systems. They convert compressed air into straight-line mechanical motion, making them ideal for applications like pushing, pulling, lifting, and clamping. With a simple structure composed of a barrel, piston, piston rod, end covers, and seals, these cylinders offer reliable performance and long service life.
We, Joosung Pneumatic, offer a full range of air cylinders for industrial use, supporting both standard and custom automation solutions.
Applicatios of Pneumatic Cylinders
1. Material Handling and Transfer
Pneumatic cylinders are widely used to operate robotic arms and gripping devices for pick-and-place operations. In automated assembly lines-such as those in the automotive or electronics industries-air grippers powered by cylinders can handle components with precision.
Recommended models:
HFK Series – Roller-finger grippers
HFZ Series – Parallel grippers
HFC Series – Standard gripping cylinders
HFY / HFR / HFD Series – Angular and rotary grippers for flexible movement
These models ensure fast, accurate handling and improve production speed.
2. Precision Clamping and Positioning
During processing and assembly, pneumatic cylinders provide stable holding force for components. For example, in PCB soldering lines, twin-rod cylinders hold circuit boards in place to prevent vibration and misalignment.
Recommended models:
TN Series – Twin-rod cylinders with anti-rotation function
MAL Series – Compact round cylinders for lightweight clamping
By adjusting pressure, clamping force can be customized based on requirements.
3. Driving Automation Mechanisms
Cylinders are often used to drive motion parts in automation machinery. On a packaging line, a cylinder can move the sealing blade for bag closure after filling. This type of movement is fast, repeatable, and easy to control.
Recommended models:
SC Series – Standard air cylinders for general motion
SDA Series – Compact cylinders for limited spaces
SE Series – ISO-compliant air cylinders for industrial use
4. Auxiliary Actions in Sorting and Guiding
In automated sorting systems, cylinders can control diverter arms or gates. When sensors detect different items, the control unit activates a cylinder to direct materials to the correct location.
Recommended models:
MPG Series – Compact guided cylinders
ACQ Series – Mini round cylinders
TACQ Series – Ultra-thin profile cylinders for limited installation space
