1. What Is a Pneumatic Cylinder?
A pneumatic cylinder is a mechanical device that converts compressed air energy into linear motion, driving force for industrial applications. SHUYI’s pneumatic cylinder uses air pressure to extend or retract a piston rod, providing consistent thrust (50N–50,000N) for tasks like material handling, clamping, and machine tool operation.
2. How SHUYI’s Pneumatic Cylinder Works
SHUYI’s pneumatic cylinder operates through a simple yet efficient process:
- Air Pressure Input:
Compressed air (4–10 bar) enters the cylinder through port A or B, pushing the piston to extend or retract the rod. Sealing rings prevent air leakage, maintaining consistent performance. - Force Generation:
The piston area and air pressure determine the output force (Formula: Force = Pressure × Piston Area). SHUYI’s cylinders offer adjustable speed via flow control valves, enabling precise motion control.

3. Core Advantages of SHUYI’s Cylinders
SHUYI’s pneumatic cylinders stand out for their technical excellence and industrial adaptability:
- Durable Construction:
Built with hard-chromed piston rods (Ra≤0.2μm surface roughness) and anodized aluminum alloy barrels, resisting corrosion and wear in harsh environments like coastal factories or dusty workshops. - Multiple Types for Diverse Needs:
- Standard Cylinders: For general linear motion (bore sizes 32mm–200mm, stroke up to 1,000mm).
- Compact Cylinders: 30% shorter than standard models, ideal for space-constrained applications like robotic arms.
- Locking Cylinders: Feature mechanical locks to hold positions securely during power outages, critical for safety in elevator systems.
- Precision and Efficiency:
Achieve positioning accuracy within ±0.5mm and energy efficiency up to 90%, reducing compressed air waste compared to older models.
4. Key Applications
SHUYI’s pneumatic cylinder excels in these industrial scenarios:
- Manufacturing Plants:
Power conveyor belts, press machines, and assembly line grippers, ensuring smooth material transfer. Their quick response time (≤0.1 秒) boosts production efficiency by 15%. - Logistics and Warehousing:
Operate automated storage systems and palletizers, with IP65-rated models resisting dust and water in outdoor warehouses. - Automation and Robotics:
Provide precise linear motion for pick-and-place robots, with low-friction seals enabling high-speed operation (up to 500mm/s) without vibration.

5. How to Choose the Right Pneumatic Cylinder
When selecting a pneumatic cylinder, consider these factors:
- Bore and Stroke Size:
Match the cylinder’s bore (20mm–320mm) and stroke (10mm–3,000mm) to your force and motion requirements. SHUYI offers clear size charts for easy selection. - Environmental Conditions:
Opt for IP67-rated cylinders for wet or dusty environments, or stainless steel models for corrosive settings like food processing plants. - Control Needs:
Choose cylinders with built-in magnetic switches for position feedback or cushioning systems to reduce impact noise in high-speed applications.
