Pneumatic Cylinders

Tameson offers a wide range of pneumatic air cylinders, pneumatic grippers, and common accessories like sensors and mounting equipment. Common pneumatic cylinders follow ISO standards, so that they are globally accepted and can replace other brands using the same standards. The three most common types are: ISO 15552 for profile cylinders with diameters of 32-320 mm, ISO 6432 for round cylinders (mini cylinders) with diameters of 8-25 mm, and ISO 21287 for compact profile cylinders with diameters of 20-100 mm. However, we also carry air cylinders for specialized usage that don't fall under an ISO standard.

Air cylinders are either single-acting (spring return or spring extent) or double-acting. Single-acting cylinders require compressed to either extend or return the piston and the spring force is in the opposite direction. In a double-acting cylinder, compressed air is used for both the extension and retraction of the rod depending on where the high pressure is. Double acting cylinders are most commonly used. With multiple different configurations of rod diameter, stroke length, force in/out, and pressure ranges there is a pneumatic cylinder for almost any application requiring linear motion. We also have options with a magnetic piston for position feedback capabilities as well as adjustable damping for added control of cushioning. Tameson's wide range of pneumatic cylinders allow you to find a product to meet almost any application requirements and we ensure they are made from high quality material, tested, calibrated, and come to you at a competitive price. If you have any questions, we have a technical article or contact us for assistance.

Pneumatic grippers are essential for precise handling tasks in automation and robotics. They come in various types, such as parallel, angular, and three-point grippers, each designed to securely grip objects of different shapes and sizes. These grippers ensure reliable and consistent performance in material handling applications.

Clamp cylinders are designed to hold objects firmly in place during operations like welding, assembly, and machining. They provide the necessary stability and precision required for these processes, ensuring that workpieces remain securely positioned throughout the operation.

Guided cylinders offer enhanced control and stability with built-in guides that ensure accurate linear motion. These cylinders are ideal for applications that demand precise positioning and smooth, controlled movement, making them suitable for tasks that require high precision.

Stopper cylinders and feed separators are crucial for managing the flow of materials on conveyor systems. Stopper cylinders are used to halt the movement of items at specific points, while feed separators ensure proper spacing and sequencing of materials, facilitating efficient and orderly processing.

Industrial shock absorbers are designed to absorb and dissipate kinetic energy, protecting machinery and equipment from impact and vibration. These components are essential for prolonging the lifespan of equipment and ensuring smooth operation by mitigating the effects of sudden shocks and vibrations.

When selecting products such as pneumatic grippers, clamp cylinders, guided cylinders, stopper cylinders, feed separators, and industrial shock absorbers, consider the specific requirements of your application. Factors such as the type of motion needed, load capacity, and environmental conditions are crucial in making the right choice to ensure optimal performance and reliability in your operations.
