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
