π‘ Three Highlights Solving Three Pain Points
- Highlight 1: Linear Motion Guide + Long-Stroke Designβ Pain Point:β Standard cylinders lack rigidity in long-stroke applications, prone to wobbling and sagging. Solution:β Utilizes a linear motion guide with a twin-cylinder structure. Strokes up to 300mm are possible while maintaining consistent slide rigidity throughout the entire travel, ensuring stable and reliable long-distance movement.
- Highlight 2: Twin-Cylinder Structure + High-Rigidity Designβ Pain Point:β Single-cylinder structures lack sufficient thrust and rigidity, affecting positioning accuracy. Solution:β Twin-cylinder design provides approximately twice the output force. The high-rigidity linear guide ensures high parallelism of movement and good repeatability, making it suitable for precision positioning applications.
- Highlight 3: Multi-Directional Porting + Flexible Mountingβ Pain Point:β Traditional cylinders offer limited porting directions, restricting installation space. Solution:β Allows axial or side porting, bottom surface mounting. Can be equipped with stroke adjusters or hydraulic dampers. Magnetic switches can be mounted on both sides. Offers flexible installation to adapt to various equipment layouts.
π― Five Application Scenarios, Perfectly Matched
- “Precision Positioner for Automated Assembly Lines”:β Automated assembly, positioning, and clamping of small-to-medium workpieces like electronic components, mechanical parts, plastic parts, e.g., on 3C product assembly lines for phones, tablets, computers.
- “Long-Distance Transfer Device for Material Handling”:β Long-distance transfer of pallets and goods in automated warehouse equipment, such as stackers and shuttle cars. The 200mm stroke meets long-distance material handling needs.
- “Sorting Pusher for Packaging Machinery”:β Automatic sorting, pushing, and positioning in food, daily chemical, and small-item packaging, e.g., in packers and sorters.
- “Paper Positioning Slide for Printing”:β Paper positioning, sheet separation, and conveying in printing presses and paper handling equipment. The long-stroke design meets paper long-distance positioning requirements.
- “Precision Platform for Laboratory Automation”:β Sample pushing/pulling, pipetting, and positioning in lab automation equipment. The high-rigidity design ensures precise positioning accuracy.

π οΈ Installation & Usage: “Three Do’s and Three Don’ts”
- β
Three Do’s:β
- Ensure mounting surface flatness is < 0.02mm to mount the slide level and avoid additional moment loads.
- Install an F.R.L. unit (filter, regulator, lubricator) upstream to ensure clean, dry, lubricated air supply.
- Regularly check mounting bolts/connections for looseness and seals for leaks. When adjusting, open cushion valves gradually from fully closed to avoid excessive impact.
- β Three Don’ts:β
- Do not exceed the max. operating pressure of 0.7 MPa. Do not use corrosive, oxygen, or flammable/explosive gases.
- Do not let the slide bear lateral or eccentric loads; add guides or choose guided cylinders if necessary.
- Avoid use in high temperature (>60β) or harsh environments with coolant, dust, chips, weld spatter, etc., to prevent seal aging/damage.
