Technical Characteristics:
The cylinders operate at a working pressure of 3-10 bar and can function in ambient temperatures from -20°C to +80°C. They use filtered air, with or without lubrication, and have a maximum translation speed of 3 m/s. The pneumatic sealing system uses an elastomer stripseal reinforced with Kevlar for dimensional stability.

Procedures:
Guidelines for calculating inertia forces and corresponding torques, emphasizing the importance of controlling kinetic energy dissipation to prevent damage to the cylinder. Methods for cushioning, including pneumatic and hydraulic options, are suggested to manage impact speed and moving mass.

Norms and Recommendations:
Recommendations include using oscillating mounting brackets when the cylinder is mounted on external rigid guides to isolate the cylinder from the structure. The document advises against using the cylinder in high-stress applications and highlights the need to reduce load under dynamic conditions.

Accessories:
Various accessories are available, including magnetic sensors, locking units, and mounting plates. The magnetic option for the S1 series is standard for Ø 16 mm and available upon request for larger sizes. The S5 series requires a separate magnetic switch mounting rail.

Tables and Data:
Includes detailed tables with dimensions, mass, and force values for different cylinder sizes and configurations. A codification key for identifying specific cylinder models based on their features is provided.

Specifications:
Pneumatic actuators with integrated safety locking systems are suitable for emergency braking and repeated functioning at cylinder speeds ≤ 50 mm/s. The holding force of the rod is at least three times the thrust of the cylinder with a 6 bar air supply. The locking force is independent of ambient conditions or rod maintenance.

Technical Characteristics:
Pneumatic actuators feature digital measuring detectors for applications such as control of locking positions, anticollision control, and level control in palletization. The system can function as a digital measuring detector or a pneumatic actuator with digital position detection. Precision repeatability is ± 0.02 mm, with a maximum speed of 0.2 m/s for the detector and 0.8 m/s for the actuator.

Series and Stroke:
The NQZ series includes bore sizes of 032, 040, 050, and 063 mm, with maximum strokes of 350 mm for ø 32, 450 mm for ø 40, 650 mm for ø 50, and 700 mm for ø 63. The NTZ series is a programmable pneumatic actuator with an integrated safety locking system.

Electrical Characteristics:
The actuators operate with a power supply of 5 Vdc, with output levels "L" < 0.5V and "H" Vdc. They have a limit frequency of 60 Khz, impedance of 2 Kohm, and a current consumption of 40 mA max. The resolution is ± 0.01 pulses/turn, and the working temperature range is -10° to +70°C.

Applications:
Main applications include mechanization, palletization, and automation of operating machines. The actuators are equipped with mounting accessories and flush-mounted magnetic sensors.

Additional Information:
Includes detailed technical specifications, theoretical forces for different cylinder sizes, and overall dimensions. Information on the functioning of the locking unit and necessary conditions for optimal performance is provided.

Technical characteristics Examination and verification of the cushioning In a system with moving masses, as in the case of rodless cylinders, it is essential to control the dissipation of the system's kinetic energy as it is brought to a stop. It is necessary, first of all, to establish and verify the most suitable method of cushioning the system, in order to avoid the moving mass (carriage with load) striking against the end-caps and compromising the life of the cylinder. If the point corresponding to a given load and speed lies beneath the appropriate curve, the cushioning is able to absorb...

If it is not possible to absorb the kinetic energy with the cushioned end-caps and modify the parameters (a-b-c shown at page 11), an additional cushioning is necessary to reduce the load speed before the cylinder strikes the - a pneumatic cushion with electronic control; - a hydraulic cushion, available on the market. The mass movement generates loads to the cylinder, connected both to the weight forces (load values are constant) and to the inertia forces which originate in the acceleration or deceleration phases of the piston at the A typical fatigue stress arises in which the load value affects...
