Design Features

Single-acting cylinders with anti-rotation mechanism
Optional sensors available (magneto-resistive PNP and NPN types)
Multiple mounting accessories for external diameter and piston rod
Compact design suitable for integration with grippers and robotic kits

Dimensions and Mounting

The document includes detailed dimensional data for each cylinder size (OFC14-10, OFC20-20, OFC30-30), including parameters such as diameter, height, thread sizes, and mounting hole positions. Connectors include 2.5 m cables with snap M8 plug connectors.

Optional Kits and Accessories

Various pushers and buttons with rubber or steel pads (HNBR rubber pad, TPU rubber pad, steel claw, steel button)
Brackets for mounting cylinders on PB and DD grippers, designed to facilitate sprue extraction and provide compact hose and cable layouts
Needle holders (sensor not included)
Optional SS magnetic sensors for position detection
Materials for brackets typically PA12GB

Applications and Recommendations
