Vacuum Cylinder – VC40200
This precision-engineered vacuum cylinder is the largest in our standard product line. Featuring a 40mm diameter bore, 200mm stroke, with anodized aluminum body and a unique internal mechanism that converts negative air pressure into mechanical motion—without the need for traditional pneumatic actuation.
Key Features:
-
Vacuum-Driven Actuation
Unlike typical air cylinders, this unit operates using a single vacuum port located near the front of the cylinder. When vacuum is applied, the piston extends forward until a seal is made (typically via a vacuum cup attached to the rod). Once sealed, the system automatically reverses vacuum pressure, retracting the piston while maintaining grip on the object.
-
M32x1.5 Front Mounting Thread
The robust front end includes M32x1.5 male threads and a blue anodized aluminum locking nut. This nut secures the cylinder to brackets or end-of-arm tooling, making integration into robotic systems straightforward.
-
Compact & Rugged Design
The 50mm OD housing and streamlined construction make this vacuum cylinder ideal for applications where space is limited but strength and reliability are essential.
-
No External Springs or Sensors Required
The cylinder’s internal design eliminates the need for external return springs or sensors, simplifying system complexity while maintaining dependable automation behavior.
Applications:
Also available with a non-rotation option.
