Accessorise your pneumatic cylinder
With every pneumatic cylinder comes the demand for pneumatic accessories. Cylinder mounting accessories, industrial pneumatic grippers and pneumatic accessories are all essentials for your cylinder. If you require stability and better linearity of movement for your cylinder, a slide unit can provide this seamlessly. On the other hand, a bearing could help sort the angular misalignments of the cylinder rod. Whatever you require, API Pneumatic UK has the pneumatic cylinder accessory for your applications demands – down to the last screw and nut.
Pneumatic accessories
API pneumatic accessories encompass everything from slide units, through to static piston-rod brakes. Our slide units are available for ISO 6432 and ISO 15552 cylinders, to provide precision movement for your cylinder. Whereas our static piston-rod brakes, available to the same ISO standards, lock the piston rod when pressure is lacking or fails. A dynamic piston-rod brake also locks the cylinder piston-rod in the event of pressure failure. However, it has the added benefit of being able to achieve this when the piston-rod is still moving.
A pneumatic cylinder mounting accessory such as an adjustable hydraulic shock absorber, can make a huge difference to your cylinder by absorbing the hard impacts from the piston rod and preventing damage to the cylinder.
Magnetic switches, ATEX switches and brackets for magnetic switches are also available as part of our pneumatic cylinder attachments and accessories. Magnetic switches are necessary for detecting the presence of the magnet on the piston. The ATEX versions ensure performance reliability in potentially explosive environments.
Mounting accessories
Do you require steel mountings or aluminium mountings? Maybe you need specific ISO standard mountings, CNOMO mountings or compact UNITOP mountings. At API Pneumatic UK, our pneumatic cylinder mounting accessories are extensive enough to ensure that we always have a mounting accessory for your particular cylinder.
To achieve a wide range of movement for your pneumatic cylinder, a clevis bracket could be the mounting accessory for you. API clevis brackets are manufactured in a wide array of versions, such as an ISO clevis, Din clevis, CNOMO clevis and a male thread clevis. Our technical team can help you decipher the most suitable clevis for your application.
