About Short-stroke cylinders

Short stroke cylinders provide linear motion where installation space is tight. With piston diameters from 12 to 100 mm the stroke stays between 5 and 100 mm, which keeps the overall length short. All 246 items in this group are rated for a working pressure of up to 10 bar.

What matters when choosing

• Piston diameter sets the available force. The range covers 12 to 100 mm, and the calculation uses the piston area and the pressure actually applied rather than the 10 bar maximum.
• Choose the stroke from the real travel required. Options run from 5 to 100 mm, and asking for more travel gives away the space advantage of this design.
• Function splits the range in two. Double-acting where force is needed in both directions, single-acting where a spring may handle the return.
• Port sizes run from M5 or M5x0,8 through G 1/8 and G 1/4 up to G 3/8 and have to match the existing tubing.
• Check the minimum pressures. Depending on the version, 0.4 to 0.6 bar set pressure and 1 to 2 bar working pressure are required, which becomes the deciding factor on low-pressure networks.

Typical applications

• Clamping and locating workpieces in fixtures
• Feeding and lifting in assembly and test stations
• Diverting and stopping parts on conveyor lines
• Clamping and cut-off motions in packaging and labelling machines
• Actuating flaps and slide gates in plant equipment

Seals are made of NBR and designed for filtered compressed air, lubricated or unlubricated. The range splits into the double-acting ACQ series and the single-acting ASQ series, manufactured in Italy and China.
