ASCO/JOUCOMATIC now offer a complete range of cylinders conforming to the ISO 6431and VDMA 24562 standards with the launching of the options and special versions designed for this type of cylinders.

Options and versions available on this page:

Main characteristics of ISO-VDMA-NFE cylinders - PES type

Piston rod protection boot version

This option is especially designed to match with polluted environments where protection against big particules is necessary:

• Mechanical industry:
  • Protection against iron or not iron material filings
• Food industry:
  • Grain warehouse control
  • Protection of manipulated products against grease used in the cylinder.

Cylinders mounted back-to-back

Cylinders mounted back-to-back are designed to achieve the functions 3 or 4 positions in an economic way.

Applications:

• Open/close control of machine doors, traps, slices, ...
• Components switching (moving)
• ...

Cylinders mounted nose to nose

Cylinders with mounted nose to nose option are especially designed to fit with packaging industries, handling, conditioning. Examples:

• Prehension template with variable empattage
• components switching (prehension and moving) in accordance with their empattage
• ...

Double force tandem cylinder - Linked piston rods

Tandem-mounted cylinders with connected rods develop :

• twice a standard same diameter cylinder force,
• A better effort compared to a N+1 diameter cylinder.
• Example :
  A tandem cylinder Ø 32 mm develops a stress which is 20 % more than a standard cylinder Ø 40 mm.
  - A tandem cylinder Ø 32 mm develops 90.7 daN at 6 bar
  - A standard cylinder Ø 40 mm develops 75.6 daN at 6 bar

This construction is designed to provide a requested effort in a lower front dimension compared to a standard cylinder developing the same effort.

Cylinder with 3 positions, rods not connected

The three-position cylinder is a monobloc assembly composed of 2 cylinder bodies in tandem, generally with different strokes, whose piston rods are not connected together.

The main applications of the 3 position cylinders are for pressing and raising loads with two different positions (and the rest position). They are especially designed for:

• conveyance,
• packaging machinery,
• components distribution and selection.
