Installation and Maintenance
Installation
Determine the appropriate mounting method based on space constraints (foot mount, clevis, flange).
Utilize auto switch mounting grooves for secure, bracket-free sensor installation.
Connect pneumatic fittings ensuring clean, dry air supply and proper pressure settings.
Adjust stroke length as needed depending on the cylinder model.
Verify airtightness and smooth piston operation during initial testing.
Maintenance
Periodically inspect seals and pneumatic connections for wear or leaks.
Keep piston rod and cylinder body clean to prevent dust and debris buildup.
Re-lubricate only if recommended by manufacturer during seal replacement or overhaul.
Replace worn seals promptly to maintain performance.
Avoid impact or harsh environmental exposure beyond specified limits.
How to Select the Right CQ2 Mini Cylinder
Determine Bore Size: Match bore diameter to the required thrust force.
Select Stroke Length: Choose based on the required linear travel within available machine space.
Mounting Style: Foot, flange, clevis, or pivot mounts depending on machine design.
Check Auto Switch Compatibility: Use models with integrated switch grooves for optimal sensor placement.
Operating Environment: Select based on temperature range and any corrosion resistance needs.
Lubrication and Maintenance Needs: Consider models with no lubrication requirements for easier upkeep.
