What is the slide table cylinder?
The slider table cylinder is a pneumatic actuator that mainly uses the energy of compressed air to achieve linear reciprocating motion. From the structural point of view, it usually consists of a cylinder body, a piston, a piston rod, a slide and a seal. The cylinder serves as the basic structure, which houses the piston and guides its movement direction. The piston divides different air chambers in the cylinder body and changes its position by taking in and exhausting air. The piston rod connects the piston and the slide table, so that the linear motion of the piston can be transmitted to the slide table.
The slide is the part that is directly connected to the external load. For example, in automation equipment, the slide table can be equipped with a fixture to grab items. The seal is to prevent gas leakage and ensure that the gas pressure inside the cylinder can effectively drive the piston to move.
Features of slide table cylinder
- High precision：The slide table cylinder has high positioning accuracy and repeatability, which can meet the needs of the precision machinery industry for high-precision motion.
- High rigidity: The slide table cylinder has strong rigidity and can withstand large loads and impact forces, ensuring stability and accuracy under load.
- Diversified functions: The slide table cylinder can be equipped with different stroke adjustment devices, buffer mechanisms and magnetic switches according to actual needs to achieve diversified functional requirements.
- Easy to control: The control of the slide table cylinder is relatively simple. The air pressure control valve is usually used to switch the direction of movement and adjust the speed. It is easy to integrate with control systems such as PLC.
- Easy maintenance: The structure of the slide table cylinder is relatively simple, and it is also easy to maintain, which reduces the maintenance cost.
- Energy saving and environmental protection: The slide table cylinder uses air pressure as the power source, which has better energy saving and environmental protection effects than electric actuators.
- Strong adaptability: The slide cylinder is available in a variety of forms and specifications, including free installation type, ultra-thin type, etc., which can flexibly adapt to different working environments and installation spaces.
