rior Cushioning: Equipped with high-performance flexible cushioning rings at both ends to reduce impact noise and vibration.

Specification：

Application：

1.Industrial Automation & Assembly：

Ideal for high-speed automated production lines, including electronic component assembly, semiconductor handling, and small-parts positioning. Its compact design enables precise linear motion in confined spaces, significantly enhancing operational throughput and system integration.

2.Precision Clamping & Jigs：

Integrated into CNC machining fixtures, woodworking clamps, and automotive welding jigs. Its space-saving profile allows multiple cylinders to be mounted in close proximity, providing firm and accurate workpiece holding for drilling, milling, and assembly processes.

3.Commercial & Laboratory Automation

Used in specialized commercial devices and laboratory equipment, such as automated testing stations, medical packaging machines, and large-scale vending systems. It supports accurate and quiet actuation to meet the stringent requirements of clean and space-sensitive environments.

Installation and Usage：

1.Ensure the cylinder’s bore, stroke, and mounting type match your system requirements.

2.Thoroughly clean all pneumatic lines and fittings to remove debris, dust, or metal chips before connection to prevent internal seal damage.

3.Use the integrated internal or external threads for secure installation. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and perfectly aligned.

4.Avoid excessive radial or lateral loads on the piston rod. For applications with side force, we recommend using external guides to prevent premature seal wear.

5.For optimal performance and safety, install Speed Controllers (Flow Control Valves) on the air ports to manage the extension and retraction speed.

6.Use filtered, compressed air (recommended 40μm filtration). While the ADN series is pre-lubricated, if oil-mist lubrication is used, it must be continued consistently.

7.The ADN series features a built-in magnetic piston. Slots on the cylinder body allow for the direct mounting of Proximity Sensors (Reed or Solid State) for reliable position feedback.

FAQ

Q1. What is the main advantage of the ADN Series compared to standard cylinders?

A1. The ADN Series is designed to the ISO 21287 international standard. It offers a significantly shorter overall length (up to 50% space savings) compared to standard ISO 15552 cylinders while maintaining the same output force, making it ideal for compact machinery.

Q2.Is this cylinder interchangeable with other brands?

A2.Yes. Since it adheres to the ISO 21287 standard, the mounting dimensions, bore sizes, and thread specifications are universal. It can serve as a high-quality, direct replacement for major brands like Festo, SMC, or Airtac equivalent models.

Q3. Does the ADN series come with integrated cushioning?

A3. Yes, it is equipped with elastic cushioning rings at both ends to absorb impact energy. For larger sizes or high-speed applications, we also offer versions with PPS self-adjusting pneumatic cushioning for superior noise reduction and longevity.

Q4. Can I monitor the position of the piston electronically?

A4.Absolutely. All ADN cylinders are equipped with a magnetic piston as standard. The extruded aluminum body features integrated slots where proximity sensors can be easily recessed without needing extra brackets.

Q5. Does this cylinder require regular lubrication?

A5. The ADN series is pre-lubricated with high-performance grease, allowing for "oil-free" operation. Under normal conditions, no additional lubrication is required. However, in extremely high-frequency or high-temperature environments, supplementary oil-mist lubrication can further extend the service life.

Q6. What is the operating pressure and temperature range?

A6. The standard operating pressure range is 1.0 to 10.0 bar (14.5 - 145 psi). The operating temperature range is -20°C to +80°C. For extreme temperature requirements, please contact us for customized Viton (FKM) seal options.

Q7.How do I handle side loads on the piston rod?

A7.Compact cylinders are primarily designed for axial (push/pull) forces. If your application involves lateral or eccentric loads, we strongly recommend using a guided version or an external guide unit to protect the piston rod and internal bearings.

Q8. Are different thread types available (NPT vs. G/BSP)?

A8. Yes, we offer both G (Parallel/Metric) and NPT thread options to ensure compatibility with your local pneumatic fittings and standards. Please specify your preference during the checkout process.
