Wholesale Pneulead Guided Cylinder Manufacturers

The guided cylinder is a cylinder with a guide shaft, which is equivalent to a cylinder integrated with the guiding function to prevent the occurrence of rotary damage to the cylinder. It has a compact structure, high guiding accuracy, and can withstand large transverse loads and torque. According to the customer’s requirement, Pneulead can provide dual rod cylinders, including CX series double piston single rod cylinders, CXD series double piston double rod cylinders and PTN series double piston single rod cylinders, and tri-rod cylinders including CGP series compact guide cylinders and CGPL series compact guide cylinder with lock.

The bore size available for CX and CXD series is 6,10,16,20,25,32mm, PTN series is 1016,20,25,32mm. According to different bore sizes, the piston speed of the CX series is different, which can be from 30-300mm/s to 30-800mm/s. While all piston speeds of bore size of CXD series is 50-500mm/s, and PTN series is 30-500mm/s. And both bearing of the CX and CXD series is slide bearing. Regarding the dual rod cylinder, all of their structure is dual housing with twice the thrust. Their side load resistance is strong, and the CXD series is two to three times larger than the maximum allowable load of the CX series. The working pressure of the dual rod cylinder is 0.15-1.0Mpa, and the working temperature is from -10℃to +60℃(no freezing).

The bore size available for the CGP series compact guide cylinder is 12,16,20,25,32,40,50,63mm, its piston speed is 50-500mm/s, the working pressure range is 0.15-1.0Mpa, and its action type is double acting. The bore size available for the CLGP series compact guide cylinder with lock is 20,25,32,40,50,63,80,100mm. Its retention force increases with the increase of cylinder bore size, from 157N to 3927N. Its piston speed is 50-400mm/s, the working pressure is 0.2-1.0Mpa, and its action type is double acting single rod. And it can be selected to lock forward or back. CGP series and CLGP series have two kinds of guide bearings to choose from, which is slide bearing and ball bushing bearing.

What types of guiding mechanisms are commonly employed in Guided Cylinder?

Guided cylinders, also known as guided pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, use various mechanisms to ensure precise and stable linear motion. The guiding mechanisms are designed to prevent lateral movement and provide support to the piston rod. Common guiding mechanisms in guided cylinders include:
Rod Guides:
Linear Ball Bearings: These are small ball bearings that surround the piston rod, reducing friction and allowing smooth linear motion.Roller Guides: Similar to ball bearings, roller guides use cylindrical rollers to guide the piston rod.
Slide Bearings:
Bronze or Teflon Coatings: Some cylinders have the piston rod coated with materials like bronze or Teflon, which act as slide bearings, reducing friction and providing guidance.Composite Materials: Modern guided cylinders may use composite materials with self-lubricating properties for low friction and improved guidance.
External Guidance Systems:
Profiled Rails: These are external rails or guides mounted parallel to the cylinder. The piston rod features corresponding grooves or slides that engage with these rails.Linear Bushings: Similar to linear ball bearings but mounted externally, linear bushings provide additional support for the piston rod.
Magnetic Guidance:
Magnetic Pistons and Guides: Magnets can be integrated into the piston and guide surfaces to create a magnetic attraction, reducing friction and providing stable guidance.

How is the construction of a Guided Cylinder different from a non-guided one?

The construction of a guided cylinder differs from that of a non-guided cylinder primarily due to the inclusion of guiding elements to enhance stability, precision, and resistance to lateral forces. 
Guiding Mechanism:
Guided Cylinder: It incorporates a guiding mechanism, often in the form of guide rods or guide rails, to provide additional support and stability to the piston rod. These guides prevent lateral movement and ensure that the piston moves linearly along a defined path.
Non-Guided Cylinder: Typically, a non-guided cylinder lacks the additional guiding elements. The piston rod may be free to move laterally, which can lead to potential deflection or misalignment during operation.
Guide Rods or Rails:
Guided Cylinder: Contains guide rods or guide rails that are parallel to the piston rod. These elements guide the piston and prevent it from rotating or deviating from its intended linear path.
Non-Guided Cylinder: Lacks guide rods or rails, allowing the piston rod more freedom of movement. This design is simpler and may be more suitable for applications where precision is not a critical factor.
Bearing Systems:
Guided Cylinder: Incorporates bearings or bushings along the guide rods or rails to minimize friction and wear. These bearings contribute to smooth and precise linear motion.
Non-Guided Cylinder: May have simpler bushings or bearings at connection points but does not require the extensive guiding elements found in guided cylinders.
Seals and Protective Measures:
Guided Cylinder: Due to the added complexity of the guiding mechanism, guided cylinders may have additional seals and protective measures to prevent contamination and ensure the longevity of the guiding components.
Non-Guided Cylinder: Typically has a simpler sealing system since it doesn't involve as many moving parts as guided cylinders.
Precision and Alignment:
Guided Cylinder: Engineered for applications where precision and alignment are crucial. The guiding elements help maintain accurate linear movement, making guided cylinders suitable for tasks requiring tight tolerances.
Non-Guided Cylinder: Generally used in applications where precision is not a critical factor, and simpler construction suffices for the intended purpose.
