These oversized piston rods are often used in pneumatic and hydraulic systems as they offer a larger surface area for detecting pressure changes and forces. The use of air or neutral gas as the media provides a clean and lubricated environment for the cylinder to operate in, reducing the risk of corrosion and wear on the components.
Filtering the media helps to remove impurities that can cause damage or affect the performance of the cylinder. Lubrication further enhances the performance of the cylinder by reducing friction and wear on the moving parts, leading to longer service life and increased reliability.
The aluminum barrel provides a lightweight and durable housing for the cylinder, helping to ensure that it can withstand the high pressure and forces generated during operation. The material’s high thermal conductivity also helps to dissipate heat, which can be a concern in high-stress applications.
