Everyone knows that rodless cylinders play an important role in today's mechanical automation and pneumatic industries and are an indispensable part of the industrial field. So, since there is a rodless cylinder, there must be arod cylinder . Today, let’s take a look at their respective advantages and disadvantages, which will help us make more reasonable choices when using equipment in the future.
First of all, let’s understand the advantages and disadvantages of rod cylinders.
1. Advantages of rod cylinders:
1. Cheap price;
2. Easy to install;
3. Easy to operate;
4. It is widely used for clamping, pushing and pulling, and lifting.
2. Disadvantages of rod cylinders:
1. The total extended length of the cylinder is greater than CylinderTwice the stroke;
2. Bending of the piston rod will cause faster wear;
3. No self-direction;
4. The positioning performance is poor because the stress areas on both sides of the piston are different;
5. The speed of extension and retraction is different;
6. It is generally designed for short-stroke piston rod rotation and cannot directly support the load.
Secondly, let’s know the advantages and disadvantages of rodless cylinders.
1. Advantages of rodless cylinder: Save space;withstand high direct impact Load;self-guided;cantilever load;same driving force at both ends;variable stroke;end cover can be rotated 4 x 90°;air can be inlet at one end;light weight;magnetic piston is a standard part, sensors can be installed on three sides;built-in Adjustable air buffer;lubrication is effective for a long time;good running and stopping performance;avoids crawling like low-speed cylinders;maximum driving force up to 3450 N;high reliability and operating performance;easy maintenance;long life (8000 km);modular system .
2. Disadvantages of rodless cylinder:Poor sealing performance, prone to external leakage.
Finally, based on the above and the comparison between the two, we can distinguishRodless cylinder has far greater advantages than rod cylinders.
