Rodless Cylinders

Rodless cylinders come in five different bores - Ø 16, 25, 32, 40 and 63 mm – and the design incorporates numerous innovations.

Calibrated extruded anodized aluminium alloy barrel

Sensor slots and accessory slots in the barrel itself

Longitudinal seal by means of specially-shaped indeformable stainless steel strips• Strokes 100 to 5700 mm with 1mm intervals

Adjustable integrated pneumatic cushioning

Adjustable limit switches and decelerations can be applied at any time

For this type of cylinder (size 32 and upwards), the valves can be fitted directly using the retracting sensors without requiring any intermediate brackets.

Rodless cylinders series PU

Series PU rodless cylinders have an internal strip for longitudinal tightness made of polyurethane (PU) with a harmonic steel wire core. This solution gives excellent air tightness values. It is particularly suitable for high-speed and highly cyclical applications, even with long strokes. The external strip, which merely provides protection against of foreign bodies entry, is made of harmonic steel. The anodised aluminium cylinder liner has a T-slot on either side for housing the retracting sensors. Cylinder control solenoid valves can also be housed in these slots and secured by means of plates and screws (see page A1.48). There are plastic anti-wear guide pads on either side of the carriage to increase the load capacity. They engage V-slots in the cylinder liner. All the cylinders incorporate adjustable pneumatic cushioning.One version has hydraulic decelerators + adjustable limit switches.These can also be added at a later stage by purchasing the relevant kit.The balanced drive version avoids having to transmit transverse torques and forces to the carriage whenever the load is supported by guides outside the cylinder.

Rodless cylinders with magnetic sliding series MAGNETIC SLIDE

The magnetic-slide rodless cylinder operates pneumatically and is equipped with a piston and a slide with magnets. The slide runs freely along the liner, following the piston movements, thanks to the magnetic coupling force between the two. If an axial force exceeding the magnetic coupling force is applied to the slide, it disengages. It is therefore important to operate within the pressure, force and speed ranges shown in the catalogue. The load is fixed onto the slide using four threaded holes. The cylinder is secured at the ends by means of nuts, flanges and brackets. This solution is recommended when there is limited space for assembly, there must be no air leaks or impurities must be prevented from entering. Available with three bores Ø 16-20-25, in the basic or swinging versions, with adjustable pneumatic cushioning or non-adjustable cushioning. Designed for use with magnetic sensors

Cable-Trol® Rodless Cylinder & Cable Cylinder Lines

Cable-Trol® Rodless Cylinder & Cable Cylinder Lines offers a cost effective solution compared to other rodless cylinder types. Cable cylinders provide the same stroke as conventional air actuators with pneumatic pistons with about 50% SPACE SAVINGS. As the piston is pushed in one direction, the load is pulled in the opposite direction within the length of the cylinder. Effective piston area is greater than in conventional rod cylinders and there is equal force in both directions. Our rodless cylinder and cable cylinder lines work in a variety of applications such as remote location, rotary motion and around corners. Making Cable-Trol one of the most versatile space saving cylinders on the market!

Cable cylinders can be configured to a variety of positions and ports along with a wide selection of accessories including Automatic Tensioners, Flange Mounts, H-Trolley's, Reed Switches, Magnetic Pistons, Cable Wipers and More. At Greenco we offer many cable cylinder designs including single acting pneumatic cylinders and double acting pneumatic cylinders. We also manufacture various custom cylinders, call us with your application today!

TRAC-TROL® Guided Cylinder For Linear Motion Control

Trac-Trol ® is a guided cylinder with linear motion control and is ideal when an application requires a load bearing system to be self guided and self supported. As the piston is pushed in one direction, the load is pulled in the opposite direction within the length of the cylinder. Effective piston area is greater that conventional rod cylinders and there is equal force in both directions.

Guided linear actuators, also called guided cable cylinders, can be configured to a variety of positions and ports along with a wide selection of accessories including Automatic Tensioners, Reed Switches, Shock Absorbers, Stainless Steel Guide Rods, Rulon Bearings and More.
Trac-Trol® combines linear ball bearings in a trolley which runs on hardened and ground shafts.
