Basic linear cylinders are used to provide straight-line, in/out linear movement for a variety of applications. Basic cylinders are available as single-acting and double-acting with single or double rod and non-rotating models. Body styles include crimped, round, or tie rod. Single-acting cylinders develop thrust in one direction and have lower air consumption compared with the equivalent size of double-acting cylinders. With a double-acting cylinder, air pressure may be alternately applied to provide force in both directions. Refer to www.smcusa.com for product dimensions and dimensional accuracy.
SMC also offers a large selection of accessory products, to further compliment our abundant line of cylinders and actuators. To attach actuators we offer rod clevises, mounting brackets and alignment couplers, feedback is provided by the largest selection of auto switches available from any cylinder manufacturer. To control speed we offer shock absorbers, quick exhausts and flow controls in a wide variety of sizes and configurations.
