In modern industrial production, the cylinder is the most common pneumatic product in the industry. There are many types of cylinders, such as: rodless cylinders, round cylinders, slide cylinders, etc. Among common cylinders, slide cylinders rodless cylinders have certain differences. This is a question frequently asked by many users.

  Let us briefly analyze this problem for the readers' reference. The piston of the slide cylinder is fixed on the piston rod. The piston rod contains plates at both ends to be firmly fixed on the machine table. The upper slide table moves on the piston rod.

  Rodless cylinders do have a piston rod. Their movements are driven by the piston inside the cylinder while driving the external platform.

  Rodless cylinders can be divided into two categories: magnetically coupled mechanical. Magnetically coupled rodless cylinders work on magnetically coupled drive platforms, while mechanical rodless cylinders work on sealed belt driven platforms. The mechanical rodless cylinder works on the drive platform of the sealing belt, the sealing belt works for a long time, there is wear between the cylinder the cylinder body, which can cause air leakage. In mechanical design, design engineers tend to prefer magnetically coupled rodless cylinders.

  When designing pneumatic systems, mechanical engineers understand the different characteristics of slide cylinders rodless cylinders so that they can make better use of their strengths.
