Working Principles
A precisely
machined
piston
separates two
chambers
within the
cylinder.
When
compressed
air enters one
chamber, the
pressure
difference
pushes the
piston.
A larger bore
translates to
higher force
output in
long-stroke
cylinders.
The piston rod
extends or
retracts,
transmitting
force for
linear
actuation.

6. Advantages:
● Higher Force Output: Ideal for
pushing heavier loads.
● Improved Torque: Can generate
higher torque for rotational
applications.

Long Stroke vs. Short Stroke
Cylinders
Disadvantages:
● Slower Speed: Takes more time to
complete a stroke.
● Bulkier Design: Less space-efficient.
Advantages:
● Faster Speeds: Quicker extension and
retraction cycles.
● Compact Size: Ideal for applications
with limited space.
Short Stroke Cylinders
Long Stroke Cylinders
Disadvantages:
● Lower Force Output: Less force
generation compared to long strokes.
● Reduced Torque: Less suitable for
rotational applications.
