About Compact cylinders

Compact cylinders deliver linear motion in a very short envelope because the end caps are integrated into the body. The range spans piston diameters from 12 to 125 mm with strokes from 5 to 300 mm and works at up to 10 bar. It replaces longer standard cylinders wherever installed length is the real constraint.

What matters when choosing

• Piston diameter from 12 to 125 mm: together with the maximum working pressure of 10 bar it sets the available force. Start from the force you need, not from the space you have.
• Stroke from 5 to 300 mm: size it to the actual travel, since stroke feeds directly into overall length.
• Function, double-acting or single-acting: single-acting versions need only one control line and return to a defined position on pressure loss, double-acting versions produce force in both directions.
• Port M5, M5x0.8, G 1/8 or G 1/4: it has to match piston diameter, the required cycle time and the fittings already in use.
• Series ACE, ACP, ASE, ATE or LINER: the lines differ in design detail and accessories while sharing the same basic function.

Typical applications

• Clamping and locating fixtures in tooling
• Diverters, stoppers and reject stations on conveyors
• Feed and separation strokes in assembly and pick-and-place modules
• Operating flaps and slides on machine guarding
• Short-stroke positioning in tightly packed handling units

836 of the 848 items are built to ISO 21287, so mounting and port dimensions are standardised. Seals are NBR, countries of origin are IT and CN.
