Installation Steps and Maintenance

Determine the required bore size and stroke length based on application specifications.
Choose compatible mounting brackets or fixtures to securely install the cylinder.
Connect clean, filtered air supply lines to ensure smooth operation and prevent contamination.
Install magnetic sensors if position monitoring is needed and verify electrical connections.
Adjust cushioning settings to reduce noise and mechanical impact during operation.
Regularly inspect seals, piston rods, and magnetic sensors for wear or damage.
Follow manufacturer recommendations for lubrication intervals, especially during high-cycle use.
Clean the exterior regularly to prevent buildup of dust and debris.

How to Choose the Right PB Mini Cylinder

Assess the force requirements and select the appropriate bore size.
Define the stroke length needed for the automation task.
Decide whether magnetic sensor feedback is necessary for process control.
Consider environmental factors and select materials (e.g., corrosion resistance).
Choose mounting type compatible with your machinery and workflow.
Confirm pneumatic system compatibility including pressure and flow requirements.
