What is a rodless cylinder

Rodless cylinder refers to a cylinder that uses the piston to connect the external actuator directly or indirectly, and makes it follow the piston to achieve reciprocating motion. 

The biggest advantage of this kind of cylinder is to save installation space, which is divided into magnetic couple rodless cylinder (magnetic cylinder) and mechanical rodless cylinder.

One of the biggest advantages of a rodless cylinder is its ability to offer longer stroke lengths in a more compact space. 

Since the rodless cylinder does not have an external rod, the piston moves directly along a track or rail inside the cylinder, which reduces the space typically required by traditional cylinders. 

This makes rodless cylinders an ideal choice for applications where long strokes are needed but space is limited.

The working principle of the rodless air cylinder: a set of high-strength magnetic permanent magnetic rings are installed on the piston, and the magnetic force lines pass through the thin-walled cylinder to interact with another set of magnetic rings in the outer slider. strong mutual attraction. Because of its high speed, the rodless cylinder is also part of many high speed air cylinder, such as CY1R Series Direct Mount Type Rodless Cylinder, CY1S Series Slider Type (Slide bearing) Rodless Cylinder.

Rodless cylinder Application

Rodless cylinders are widely used, and can be used for opening and closing doors of automobiles, subways and CNC machine tools, mobile positioning of manipulator coordinates, parts transfer of centerless grinders, combined machine tool feeding devices, automatic line feeding, cloth paper cutting and electrostatic painting, etc.
