II. Structural Features and Working Principle
Structural Components:
- Cylinder Tube: Aluminum alloy material, lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
- Piston: Equipped with a magnet for magnetic switch detection.
- Piston Rod: Hard chrome-plated surface for good wear resistance.
- Front/Rear End Caps: Include cushion adjustment valves and seals.
- Magnetic Switch: Detects piston position and outputs an electrical signal.
Working Principle:
A double-acting cylinder is internally divided into two chambers by the piston: the rodless side (rear) and the rod side (front). When compressed air enters the rodless side while the rod side exhausts, the piston rod extends. When compressed air enters the rod side while the rodless side exhausts, the piston rod retracts. By switching the air supply direction via a solenoid valve, reciprocating linear motion of the piston rod is achieved.

V. Installation and Usage Notes
Installation Points:
- Secure using the foot bracket mounting holes, ensuring a flat mounting surface.
- When connecting the piston rod to a load, avoid eccentric loads and side loads.
- Inspect the cylinder’s appearance before installation; remove preservative oil and protective covers.
- Ensure piping is clean before connection to prevent contaminants from entering the cylinder.
Usage Precautions:
- Use clean, dry compressed air; avoid air containing oil, water, or impurities.
- The piston rod should only bear axial loads; avoid side loads.
- When adjusting a cylinder with cushioning, first fully open the cushioning valve, then gradually adjust.
- After installation, perform 2-3 no-load cycles to check for proper operation.
Maintenance:
- Regularly inspect seal condition; replace promptly if leaking.
- Regularly check the operational status of the magnetic switch.
- Regularly check the adjustment effectiveness of the cushioning valve.
- Apply anti-corrosion treatment before long-term storage.
VI. Selection Recommendations
Suitable for choosing CG5BA63SV-160 when:
- Medium output force is required (63mm bore).
- Stroke requirement is around 160mm.
- Position detection is needed (with magnetic switch).
- Space is constrained, requiring a compact cylinder.
- The working environment requires dust and water protection.
Selection Calculation Reference:
Select the appropriate bore size based on calculations considering load size, operating pressure, movement speed, etc., to determine the required cylinder output force. Generally, calculate the required cylinder force based on theoretical equilibrium conditions of the external load. Select different load factors according to different speeds, ensuring the cylinder output force has a slight margin.
VII. Summary
CG5BA63SV-160 is a compact double-acting cylinder featuring a 63mm bore, 160mm stroke, adjustable cushioning, a magnetic switch, and an IP65 protection rating. Its compact design, adjustable cushioning, position detection function, and high protection level make it an ideal choice for automated equipment, packaging machinery, machine tools, and other fields. With proper selection, correct installation, and regular maintenance, this cylinder can provide long-term stable operation, offering a reliable linear motion control solution.
