Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides technical specifications and guidelines for the CAT Series cartridge cylinder, a miniature single-acting cylinder with a spring return type. It is designed for space-saving applications with bore sizes ranging from 6 to 15 mm, making it suitable for installation in narrow spaces. The cylinder features easy installation with threaded bodies and offers two mounting styles: embedded and panel mount.
Specifications
The CAT Series operates with compressed air and has a maximum working pressure of 0.7 MPa. It functions within an ambient temperature range of -10 to 60 degrees Celsius. The cylinder is available in standard stroke lengths of 5, 10, and 15 mm, with a port size of M5. Lubrication is not required, but if needed, turbine oil Class 1 ISO VG 32 is recommended.
Safety Precautions
Users are advised to ensure no load is applied when the piston rod is retracted, as the spring force is only sufficient to return the piston. The cylinder should not be left pressurized, as this may prevent the piston rod from returning. Bleed holes on the cover must remain unblocked to avoid operational faults.
Installation & Adjustment
For panel mounting (CAT-N), only the enclosed clamp nipple should be used to prevent faults or damage. For embedded types (CAT-O), care must be taken to ensure the die thread seal does not cover the spanner's width, which could lead to air leaks.
Ordering Information
The document provides a model number example and ordering instructions, detailing options for bore size, stroke length, and piston rod end type. The CAT Series offers flexibility with male thread and no thread options for the piston rod end.
Internal Structure and Parts
The document includes a parts list and materials used in the construction of the cylinder, such as stainless steel, bronze phosphate, and nitrile rubber. It also provides dimensions and assembly details for both panel mount and embedded types.

Cartridge cylinder CAT-1

Cartridge cylinder Space saving structure Thumb size cylinder with threaded body. Miniature single acting cylinder, spring return type. Miniature size Dramatically reduced cylinder overall length, miniature bore size from 6 to 15 mm. This cylinder is optimum for installation in a narrow space. This contributes to downsizing of devices. Easy installation Thread provided on outside of cylinder body enables easy installation on jig and panel etc. 2 types of mounting style For mounting style, embedded and panel mount types are available. For embedded type, sealing method by seal washer (die thread) is used. This eliminates the process of O ring/reamer machining etc. Safety precautions Single acting extend type (CAT) Series variation Only one air pipe required Single acting spring return method only needs one air pipe. For piston rod end form, male thread and no thread types are available. Mounting style Piston rod end 5 Single acting / extend type Cartridge cylinder Space saving structure Stroke length Bore size Male thread Panel mount

Cartridge cylinder CAT-2

Pneumatic components Safety precautions Always read this section before starting use. Refer to Intro 71 for general details on the cylinder, and to Intro 78 for details on the cylinder switch. Cartridge cylinder CAT Series Installation & Adjustment CAUTION Check that no load is applied when the piston rod is pulled in. The spring integrated in the cylinder has a force just enough to return the piston only. If a load is applied, the piston rod does not return to the stroke end. Do not leave the single acting cylinder pressurized. If left under elevated pressure, the piston rod may not return with...
