Clamping cylinder is a common pneumatic component widely used in various manufacturing industries, mainly for clamping, fixing, pressing and other work. Clamping cylinders can be classified into various types based on their structure and function. The following will introduce some commonly used clamping cylinders.

1、 Piston type clamping cylinder

The piston type clamping cylinder is one of the most common clamping cylinders, which is usually composed of a cylinder barrel, a piston, and a seal. Oil and gas enter the cylinder barrel and are clamped and fixed through the movement of the piston. The piston type clamping cylinder has the characteristics of simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and easy operation, and is widely used in various mechanical equipment.

2、 Hydraulic clamping cylinder

Hydraulic clamping cylinders are similar to piston clamping cylinders, but differ in that they use hydraulic oil as the medium. The high-pressure oil provided by the hydraulic system is used to push the piston to achieve clamping, fixing, and other work. Hydraulic clamping cylinders have the characteristics of high clamping force, fast speed, and good stability, and are commonly used for clamping workpieces with greater force.

3、 Pneumatic clamping cylinder

Pneumatic clamping cylinder uses compressed air as a power source to achieve clamping, fixing and other work through changes in air pressure inside the cylinder. Pneumatic clamping cylinders have the characteristics of simple structure, smooth movement, and low cost, and are suitable for clamping work that does not require high force.

4、 Spring clamping cylinder

The spring clamping cylinder uses a spring as a power source to control the clamping force through changes in air pressure. Its motion principle is similar to that of a piston type clamping cylinder, but it does not require an external air source and only relies on the internal spring force to achieve clamping, fixing, and other work. The spring clamping cylinder is suitable for situations that require power-off and pressure maintenance, such as maintaining the clamping state of the workpiece after power-off.

5、 Shear clamping cylinder

The shear clamping cylinder is suitable for situations that require high clamping force, such as metal processing, mold clamping, etc. Its structure is similar to traditional clamping cylinders, but a shearing device is added inside the cylinder to provide greater clamping force during clamping. Shear clamping cylinders are usually driven by hydraulic or pneumatic means, and have the characteristics of high clamping force and good stability.

6、 Elastic clamping cylinder

Elastic clamping cylinder is a special clamping device mainly used for clamping elastic components. Its structure is different from traditional clamping cylinders, adopting a special structural design that can achieve precise clamping and releasing of elastic components, suitable for situations with high requirements for clamping force and clamping accuracy.

In summary, the commonly used clamping cylinders in the manufacturing industry mainly include piston clamping cylinders, hydraulic clamping cylinders, pneumatic clamping cylinders, spring clamping cylinders, shear clamping cylinders, and elastic clamping cylinders. According to specific usage requirements and work scenarios, suitable clamping cylinders can be selected to complete clamping, fixing, and other tasks.
