What is an SMT cylinder?

The SMT cylinder is a key component used in SMT placement machines, featuring high speed, high precision and reliability. The SMT cylinder transmits force through air pressure and is suitable for applications that require fast, accurate and highly repeatable operations, such as card holding, lateral movement, up and down nozzles, push plates, conveying and nozzle adjustment.

How many types of cylinders are there

There are many types of cylinders, which can be divided according to different classification standards. ‌‌

1. Classification by pressure: Cylinders can be divided into one-way cylinders and two-way cylinders. One-way cylinders have a piston rod only at one end, and air is supplied from one side to generate air pressure, while two-way cylinders supply air from both sides and output force in two directions.

2. Classification by installation form: Cylinders can be divided into fixed cylinders and rotary cylinders. Fixed cylinders are installed in a fixed position, while rotary cylinders can rotate.

3. Classification by function and purpose: Cylinders include ordinary cylinders, buffer cylinders, swing cylinders and impact cylinders. Ordinary cylinders are used for basic linear or reciprocating motion, buffer cylinders are used in situations where the speed of motion needs to be slowed down, swing cylinders are used for the rotation and flipping of objects, and impact cylinders are suitable for situations where high-speed motion is required.

The main function of the cylinder

The main function of the cylinder is to guide the piston to perform linear reciprocating motion in the cylinder and convert thermal energy into mechanical energy through the expansion process of air. ‌ The cylinder is a cylindrical metal component that is widely used in various mechanical equipment. Its basic functions include:

1. Energy conversion: In an engine, the cylinder converts heat energy into mechanical energy through the expansion of the working fluid to drive the equipment. In a compressor, the gas is compressed in the cylinder and the pressure increases.

2. Motion guidance: There is a piston inside the cylinder, and the piston reciprocates in the cylinder to achieve linear motion or drive other mechanical parts to move.

Why choose us to buy cylinders?

1. The company has a large inventory all year round, and both the equipment quality and the timeliness of delivery are guaranteed.

2. We have an expert technical team that can provide one-stop services such as installation and maintenance of SMT cylinders, technical training, etc.

3. We have our own factory to produce some accessories. In addition to ensuring the best quality, it also helps customers reduce operating costs and increase profit margins to a large extent.

4. Our technical team operates 24 hours a day and night shifts. For all technical problems encountered by SMT factories, engineers can answer remotely at any time. For complex technical problems, senior engineers can also be sent to provide technical services on site.
