Pneumatic Cylinder
We Airmax Pneumatics Ltd. are the leading manufacturer and exporter of Pneumatic Cylinders in India. We offer a huge range of pneumatic cylinders along with a large stroke range. We also make it as per the Client’s Requirements and Drawing. All our cylinders come with a 4 Year Warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. Since 1992 we are in the pneumatic field, our manufactured Pneumatic Cylinders are available in sizes from 12 mm to 500 mm bore, and 10 mm to 2000 mm stroke. We use high-quality Aluminum Barrel, Stainless Steel Barrel, and M.S. Honed & Hard Chrome Plated Barrel in the making of Pneumatic Cylinders.
What is a Pneumatic Air Cylinder?
A pneumatic cylinder is an industrial component that converts compressed air into linear movement. It works by channeling compressed air against an internal piston, generating the mechanical force required to push, pull, clamp, or lift objects across manufacturing, packaging, and robotic systems.
How Pneumatic Air Cylinder Works?
We have a wide range of Pneumatic Air Cylinders, these cylinders are working on two different principles – Single Acting and Double Acting. We also provide various types and designs for miscellaneous uses. There is a compact design for low space and also for heavy-duty purpose air cylinders are available.
Single Acting Air Cylinder
In a Single Acting Air Cylinder, there is a fixed spring fit in a single port barrel opposite of the moveable piston. Whenever required to operate the cylinder, compressed air passes in the barrel through the port, that air pushes the piston towards the spring, and when air pressure stops, the spring pushes back the piston to its original position.
Double Acting Pneumatic Air Cylinder
Where the Double Acting Air Cylinder has two port barrels without spring. Whenever requires to operate the Double Acting Cylinder, compressed air passes in the barrel through the first port, that air pushes the piston ahead and when it requires to send back, stop the airflow from the first port and passed the compressed air from the second port, that compressed air from second port sends back piston to its original position.
We make Heavy Duty Air Cylinders which can handle 12kg/cm² pressure capacity and can bear 180°C temperature. With a 2500 mm stroke and a large range of bore size, this heavy duty cylinder can fulfill all requirements. There are also compact designed air cylinders available to solve low space issues with high performance and cost-saving options.
Customization capacity
We provide customization options in various parts. We offer a large bore size, stroke, rod, and pressure range. As per requirement we also made changes in raw materials.
Production & Quality Assurance
We have full in house production, a great team of highly experienced engineers, and a separate quality department to ensure the quality of the cylinders. Each cylinder comes with a 4 Year Warranty and must pass our strict quality testing before delivery. These cylinders provide a clean workplace and quick action with low maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between single-acting and double-acting pneumatic cylinders?
A single-acting pneumatic cylinder features a built-in spring and uses compressed air from a single port to push the piston in one direction, relying on the spring to return it. In contrast, a double-acting pneumatic cylinder has two air ports and uses compressed air to both extend and retract the piston, providing consistent force in both directions.
What is the maximum pressure and temperature capacity?
Standard industrial pneumatic cylinders can typically handle a pressure capacity of up to 12kg/cm². Specialized heavy-duty air cylinders are designed with heat-resistant seals that allow them to safely operate in temperatures reaching up to 180°C.
What bore sizes and stroke lengths are available?
High-quality manufacturers offer bore sizes ranging from miniature 12mm up to heavy-duty 500mm diameters. Stroke lengths can be customized from 10mm up to 2500mm for large-scale applications.
What is the standard lifespan and warranty?
Built with premium materials like high-quality aluminum or stainless steel, these cylinders can cycle millions of times. Leading manufacturers back this with a comprehensive 4-year warranty.
