MAXTOR ISO 6431 SI Cushion Cylinder 40 x 160
MAXTOR ISO 6431 SI Series Cushion Cylinder 40 x 160: Reliable Motion Control for Pneumatic Systems
Pneumatic cylinders are essential components for achieving linear motion (push/pull) in industrial automation systems, production lines, and machines. The MAXTOR ISO 6431 SI series cushioned cylinder 40 x 160 is one of the high-performance, standards-compliant solutions in this field.
The "ISO 6431" designation indicates that the cylinder is manufactured to dimensions and specifications that meet international standards. The "SI" designation indicates that the cylinder body is made of stainless steel (AISI 304), providing corrosion resistance and durability.
The coding 40 x 160 indicates the basic dimensions of the cylinder:
40: The inner diameter of the cylinder (piston diameter) is 40 mm .
160: The stroke length of the cylinder (piston travel distance) is 160 mm .
What is a MAXTOR ISO 6431 SI Series Cylinder and What Does It Do?
The MAXTOR ISO 6431 SI series cylinder is an actuator that converts pneumatic energy (compressed air) into mechanical linear motion. It is used in many automation applications such as manufacturing, conveying, pressing, clamping, and locking.
Basic Duties:
Generating Linear Motion: It creates a linear motion by pushing or pulling the piston of the cylinder by compressed air.
Motion Control: It provides the opportunity to control the speed and force of forward and reverse movement through pneumatic valves.
Highlights and Advantages of the MAXTOR ISO 6431 SI Series:
ISO 6431 Standard: Compliance with this standard indicates that the cylinder's mounting dimensions and technical specifications comply with internationally recognized standards. This facilitates interchangeability with products from different manufacturers.
Adjustable Cushioning: The cylinder has a cushion of air (damping) at both the forward and reverse stroke ends. This prevents the piston from striking hard at the end of the stroke, reducing vibration and extending cylinder life. Adjustable cushioning allows for adjustable damping sensitivity.
Stainless Steel Body (AISI 304): The cylinder body is made of stainless steel, which increases corrosion resistance. This makes it ideal for use in humid, wet or chemical vapor environments.
Durability: Manufactured from high-quality materials such as stainless steel piston rod (stainless steel AISI 420 or AISI 303), special seals and cast aluminum covers. This ensures long-lasting and reliable performance.
Versatility: A magnetic sensor (reed switch) detects the piston's position. This is an important feature for position control and feedback in automation systems (such as PLCs).
Areas of Use:
Machinery Manufacturing: Packaging machines, textile machines, presses, printing machines.
Industrial Automation: Assembly lines, robotic systems, handling systems.
Food and Beverage Industry: Environments requiring corrosion resistance and hygiene.
Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants: Pneumatic control systems requiring corrosion resistance.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry: Pneumatic applications that may be exposed to chemical vapors.
