Installation Steps and Maintenance

  1. Choose cylinder bore and stroke length appropriate to application requirements.

  2. Securely mount using compatible brackets or mounts considering space constraints.

  3. Connect pneumatic tubing with clean, filtered air supply to avoid contamination.

  4. If equipped with magnetic sensors, ensure proper wiring and signal verification.

  5. Adjust cushioning settings if available to reduce operational noise and wear.

  6. Regularly inspect cylinder and seals for leaks or damage, replacing as needed.

  7. Lubricate moving parts selectively based on operating environment and manufacturer recommendations.

  8. Keep cylinder exterior clean from debris and corrosive agents to extend product life.

Detailed Applications

The MA Series double acting mini cylinder is widely applied across automation, packaging, pharmaceutical, food processing, and electronics manufacturing industries. Its stainless steel construction suits wet or corrosive environments, while its precision and compactness make it ideal for micro-assembly lines, medical equipment, and analytical instruments. The inclusion of magnetic piston options enables easy integration into IoT-enabled devices and advanced pneumatic control systems.

How to Select the Right MA Series Mini Cylinder

  • Determine the required bore size based on force calculations and space limitations.

  • Choose stroke length according to application movement needs.

  • Consider the operating environment—stainless steel models are preferred for corrosive or clean settings.

  • Decide if magnetic piston position sensing is necessary for automation feedback.

  • Ensure compatibility with existing pneumatic or control systems.

  • Select mounting style (swivel, foot mounting, rod end) based on installation constraints.
