💡 Three Highlights Solving Three Pain Points
- Highlight 1: 50mm Large Bore for Powerful Heavy-Load Drive Pain Point: Insufficient thrust from standard cylinders in long-distance, heavy-load applications, failing to stably drive overweight loads. Solution: The Φ50mm large bore design provides a powerful thrust of approximately 1370N at 0.7MPa, easily driving overweight loads and meeting the power demands of heavy-duty automated equipment.
- Highlight 2: 880mm Ultra-Long Stroke for Stable Long-Distance Operation Pain Point: In ultra-long stroke applications, the piston rod is prone to wobbling and sagging, affecting motion precision. Solution: The 880mm ultra-long stroke design features a thickened and precisely guided piston rod, ensuring wobble-free, sag-free, smooth, and reliable motion over long distances. Ideal for long-distance material transfer and large workpiece positioning.
- Highlight 3: High-Speed Response + Air Cushion for Smooth, Reliable Operation Pain Point: High impact energy in high-speed, heavy-load motion can easily damage equipment. Solution: High-speed design allows maximum speeds exceeding 1.0 m/s. Built-in air cushions at both ends effectively absorb impact energy generated by the ultra-long stroke and high load, protecting cylinder end covers and equipment structure, reducing noise and vibration, and extending service life.

🛠️ Installation & Usage: “Three Do’s and Three Don’ts”
- ✅ Three Do’s:
- Mount vertically to ensure piston rod aligns with load movement direction, avoiding eccentric loads; long-stroke cylinders should have intermediate guide supports to prevent piston rod sagging.
- Install an F.R.L. unit (filter, regulator, lubricator) upstream of the air supply to ensure clean, dry air with appropriate lubrication for the cylinder.
- Regularly check mounting bolts/connections for looseness and piston rod seals for leaks; during debugging, adjust cushion valves gradually from fully closed to avoid excessive impact.
- ❌ Three Don’ts:
- Do not exceed the max. operating pressure of 1.0 MPa to prevent damage; do not use corrosive gases, oxygen, or other flammable/explosive gases as the medium.
- Do not let the piston rod bear lateral or eccentric loads; add guide mechanisms or select guided cylinders if necessary.
- Do not use for extended periods in high temperature (>60℃) or corrosive environments to prevent seal aging; in dusty or wet areas, install a bellows cover on the rod side.
