Pneumatic cylinders are an essential component in numerous automation, construction machinery, and other power transmission applications. The correct selection of a cylinder without compromising on power or longevity is essential in ensuring productivity. The CP96 series from SMC delivers these benefits in a design that meets stringent ISO-15552 standards.
One way to enhance efficiency and productivity is to select and install cylinders that deliver greater speed and power. The CP96 features new cushioning technology, comprising of an air cushion and bumper cushion. This effectively shortens the stroke time and the cycle time, enabling rapid action.
The CP96 series reaches a maximum operating speed of up to 1 000 mm per second, with strokes up to 2 000 mm, at pressures up to 1.0 MPa.
In addition, the cushioning structures result in quieter operation, making this cylinder ideal for a range of applications. The CP96 range includes new cylinder types, including double rod, non-rotating and lock unit cylinders.
The design of the CP96 has been optimised, and delivers a 15 per cent weight reduction, compared to its predecessors. The CP96’s versatility makes it ideal for general automation and manufacturing applications, as well as automotive and heavy vehicle production and material handling.
The proper ‘fit’ of a cylinder is critical in ensuring optimal performance and preventing its premature failure. For this reason, the CP96 is adapted to customer and application requirements.
SMC offer up to 30 rod end modifications for the range, as well as various seals and scrapers. SMC also provides personalised and prompt advice on the correct selection and installation of cylinders, as well as service and maintenance to ensure the long life of its equipment.
As local manufacturers and industries are under greater pressure to achieve greater productivity, the cost-efficient CP96 bolsters productivity, delivering a host of additional benefits.
