Installation Steps and Maintenance

1. Confirm the required bore size, stroke length, and mounting style for the application.

2. Mount the cylinder securely using compatible brackets or mounting accessories as per the chosen type.

3. Connect clean, filtered compressed air to the proper ports (use 40µm filters recommended).

4. Adjust cushioning settings if applicable to minimize impact noise and wear.

5. Periodically inspect the piston rod and seals for wear or damage.

6. Lubricate the cylinder rod and seals as per manufacturer recommendations to maintain smooth operation.

7. Keep the exterior surfaces clean to prevent dust and debris accumulation.

8. For cylinders with magnetic sensors, check wiring and sensor health regularly to ensure accurate position feedback.

Detailed Applications

The MAL Series 20mm mini pneumatic cylinder is widely utilized in industries such as electronics assembly, semiconductor manufacturing, packaging machinery, robotic automation, and precision equipment. Its compact size and high precision are perfect for tasks requiring smooth and repetitive linear motion with limited installation space. Magnetic sensor variants are particularly suitable for automated systems requiring position feedback for enhanced control.

How to Choose the Right MAL Series Mini Pneumatic Cylinder

• Determine the required bore size based on the force needed for the application. (20mm bore is ideal for light to moderate force tasks.)

• Select appropriate stroke length according to the travel distance needed; customization is often available.

• Decide on double-acting or single-acting depending on your application’s motion requirements.

• Opt for magnetic piston variants if feedback or automation control is necessary.

• Confirm the mounting style compatibility with your system (LB, FA, or SDB).

• Check operating pressure and temperature compatibility with your working environment.

• Consult technical datasheets or a product expert when in doubt to ensure optimal performance and safety.
