GENERALE TECHNICAL DATA./02 Compressed air The cylinders have been designed for use with unlubricated air, in which case no maintenance is required. If lubricated air is used, lubrication must be continuous because the additional lubrication removes the lubricant applied at the factory. With reference to ISO/DIN 73, the compressed air to use is class 33, i.e.: solid particle classe 3:.000 particles/m 3 with d<= micron and 0 particles/m 3 with d<= micron. humidity classe : Pressure dewpoint <= +3 C oil classe 3: Concentration total oil <= mg/m 3. Gasket material Please refer to page./0 of the technical documentation for compatibility data. Some families of Metal Work cylinders are available with gaskets made of different materials. Polyurethane: the best in terms of longlife, resistance to wear and reduced friction. Chemically compatible with: Pure aliphatic hydrocarbons (butane, propane, gasoline). Any impurities (moisture, alcohol, acid or alkaline compounds) can chemically attack polyurethane. Mineral oil and grease (some additives can chemically attack the material) Silicone oil and grease Water up to + C Resistance to ozone and ageing Not compatible with: Ketones, esters, ethers Alcohos, glycols Hot water, steam, alkali, amines, acids. Good elasticity down to 3 C (for low temperature PU version only). NBR: These gaskets have a shorter life than polyurethane gaskets. However, they are recoended for use in environments causing the formation of water condensate, such as tropical climates, where polyurethane gaskets may tend to deteriorate quickly due to hydrolysis. Chemically compatible with: Methane, butane, propane, oily acids Aliphatic hydrocarbons Lubrication oils Gasoline Not compatible with: Ozone and exposure to sunlight. Good elasticity down to 3 C (for low temperature NBR version only). FKM/FPM: Can withstand temperatures as high as C. This makes them ideal for use on rodless cylinders, highspeed applications, involving high temperatures at the sliding lips. Chemically compatible with: Mineral oil and grease, slight swelling with oil grade ASTM no. and 3. Silicon oil and grease Animal and vegetable oil and fat Aliphatic hydrocarbons (gasoline, butane, propane, natural gas) Aromatic hydrocarbons (benzol, toluene) Chlorinated hydrocarbons (tetrachloroethylene) Fuels Ozone, atmospheric agents, ageing Not compatible with: Polar solvents (acetone, methylethylchetone, diethyl ether, dioxane) Glycolbased brake fluids Aonia gas, amines, alkali Superheated water vapour Low molecular organic acids (formic and acetic acid) Nostickslip cylinders: Standard cylinders are designed to ensure troublefree operation under any conditions, particularly at high speed. Operation tends to be irregular and jerky at very low speeds in the presence of side loads. In this case, nostickslip cylinders are recoended as they allow smooth operation. These versions feature specific tribological properties and polyurethane gaskets. Radial oscillation of the piston rod These cylinders have been designed to apply forces in the direction of the axis and not to withstand side loads. If you intend to use the cylinder piston rod with side loads, the play between the piston rod and guide bushing must be taken into account. Indicatively, each 0 stroke corresponds to radial oscillation measured at the end of the piston rod. Cylinder operating life The life of cylinders depends on numerous factors including axial and radial loads, speed, frequency of use, temperature, shocks, air loss (limits). Below are a few factors that must be taken purely as a reference. They are not binding or guaranteed due to the variability of different factors. Without radial load: ISO 2 cylinders and round cylinders with polyurethane gaskets:,000 km. ISO 2 cylinders and round cylinders with NBR gaskets:,000 km. ISO cylinders, SSC cylinders and compact cylinders with polyurethane gaskets: 30 million cycles. ISO cylinders and SSC cylinders with NRB gaskets: million cycles Rodless cylinders:,000 km Stroke tolerances The actual cylinder stroke has a tolerance with respect to the nominal stroke, in compliance with any applicable laws, within the following ranges: ISO 2 cylinders 0 +2 0 0 +2. ISO + Round cylinders 0, +. SSC cylinders + 0 +. Compact cylinders 0 0, +. Compact cylinders ISO 27 0 0, +. Rodless cylinders +2 Strokes exceeding the maximum value specified in the catalogue Metal Work can supply cylinders with strokes greater than those specified in the catalogue, considering the production technological limits. The Metal Work Sales Department can provide you will full details. However, it is up to the end user to use these special cylinders properly, by guiding the piston rod, avoiding peak loads, etc. Magnetic sensors The magnetic field generated by permanent magnets housed in the piston assembly changes in shape and intensity depending on the presence of magnetic metal masses in the vicinity of the cylinder. These masses may prevent the sensors from switching correctly, in which case nonmagnetic materials should be used. In particular, the tie rods of shortstroke and compact cylinders should preferably be made of stainless steel.
CALCULATING PEAK LOAD ON THE PISTON ROD During operation, the piston rod of the cylinder behaves like a rod subjected to peak load (bending + compression). In the case of long strokes, it is necessary to make sure the diameter of the piston rod is correct for the load applied and the type of cylinder and piston rod mounting. The following formulae can be used to do this. A. Calculating the maximum force with a given stroke and piston rod diameter:.3 F C 2. K 2 B. Calculating the minimum acceptable piston rod diameter with a given stroke and force: F. C S 2. K 2.3 Where: F force applied [N] diameter of the piston rod [] C stroke [] K free length coefficient depending on the mounting see diagrams CONSTRAINT K 2 0.7 0. 2. CHART OF SPEED / MAXIMUM ABSORBABLE LOAD For the cylinder to reach the endofstroke position without suffering damaging impact due to intensity and repetition, it is necessary to annul the kinetic energy of the moving mass and the relative work generated. The maximum absorbable load depends on the transference speed and the absorption capacity of the standard pneumatic cushion in the various cylinders. The chart gives the speed and absorbable mass in various diameters at a pressure of bar../03
