Miniature Air Cylinders
Miniature air cylinders, also called "microcylinders," are small, rectangular, single-acting air cylinders in which the springs are housed inside enlarged piston rods. Miniature air cylinders operate in reverse motion and offer a range of interchangeable mounting brackets, which attach to the cylinder ends to provide versatility and adaptability. Miniature air cylinders can also be powered by plant air.
As compressed air moves into an air cylinder, it pushes the piston along the length of the cylinder. Compressed air or a spring, located at the rod end of the cylinder, pushes the piston back. Valves control the flow of compressed air to the cylinder. Miniature or microcylinder is one of the many choices for cylinder housing styles in an air cylinder.
Miniature air cylinders are easy to install and available in several different materials, pressure capabilities, and sizes.
