Description

Pneumatic Cylinder TGU TGC TGD Series Standard Micky Mouse Magnetic Cylinder

A Standard Magnetic Pneumatic Cylinder is a widely used linear actuator in industrial automation that integrates a magnetic piston. This magnet allows for non-contact position sensing through external magnetic sensors, making it ideal for automation systems requiring precision and feedback.

Key Features:

1. Magnetic Piston: Built-in magnets on the piston enable position detection using external magnetic proximity sensors. This allows for better process control and automation.
2. Double-Acting or Single-Acting Operation:
   • Double-Acting: Air pressure drives the piston in both extension and retraction directions.
   • Single-Acting: Air pressure drives the piston in one direction, and a spring returns it to the starting position.
3. ISO Standard Compliance: Often conforms to international standards (e.g., ISO 6432, ISO 15552), ensuring compatibility and interchangeability across systems.
4. Wide Range of Bore Sizes and Strokes: Bore sizes typically range from 6 mm to 320 mm, with strokes customizable based on application needs.
5. Durable Construction: Cylinders are usually made of materials like anodized aluminum, stainless steel, or other corrosion-resistant materials for long life and reliability.
6. Multiple Mounting Options: Includes mounting styles like clevis, flange, foot, or pivot mounts for versatile integration into different systems.
7. Optional Cushions: Adjustable or fixed cushioning at the ends of the stroke reduces impact, noise, and wear.
8. Sealing Options: High-quality seals provide air-tight operation and minimize air leakage.

Applications of Magnetic Pneumatic Cylinders:

1. Automation Systems:
   • Used in pick-and-place applications, robotic arms, and assembly lines.
2. Packaging Machinery:
   • Ensures precise and repetitive movements for processes like sealing, cutting, or filling.
3. Material Handling:
   • Lifting, pushing, or sliding materials in confined or automated spaces.
4. Woodworking and Metalworking:
   • For clamping or pressing tasks in CNC machines and similar equipment.
5. Position Feedback Requirements:
   • Ideal for systems where precise stroke control and feedback are critical.

Advantages of Magnetic Pneumatic Cylinders:

• Real-Time Position Feedback:
  • Magnetic sensors provide accurate feedback, improving system efficiency.
• Reliable and Durable:
  • Designed for continuous operation with minimal maintenance.
• Customizable:
  • Available in various bore sizes, stroke lengths, and mounting options.
• Energy-Efficient:
  • Operates using compressed air, which is cost-effective and widely available.
• Safe Operation:
  • Ideal for use in explosion-prone environments where electric actuators might pose risks.

Selection Considerations:

1. Bore Size and Stroke Length:
   • Match the cylinder’s size to the load and motion requirements.
2. Operating Pressure:
   • Ensure the cylinder operates efficiently within your air supply’s pressure range.
3. Environment:
   • Choose materials and sealing options suitable for the operating environment (e.g., high temperature, moisture, dust).
4. Mounting Style:
   • Select the appropriate mounting method for your system design.
5. Position Sensors:
   • Choose compatible magnetic sensors for stroke detection.

Common Standards:

Standard magnetic cylinders are often classified by their compliance with:

• ISO 15552: For larger profile cylinders.
• ISO 6432: For mini cylinders (compact size).
• Compact Cylinders (ISO 21287): For space-saving applications.
