15. Установка & Operation Guidelines

Этапы установки

1. Select appropriate mounting method (front flange / rear flange / axial mount / double clevis, и т. д.)
2. Secure cylinder body with hexagon socket screws, torque to specified values
3. Connect air tubing: PT 1/4 port, φ8 mm tubing recommended with PC8-02 push-in fittings
4. Install magnetic sensor (необязательный): Mount D-M9B type in cylinder groove, adjust to both ends of piston stroke
5. Air test: Check smooth operation, air leakage, and proper magnetic switch signals

Примечания по эксплуатации

Compressed air must be filtered (≤40 μm) and dried; lubricator installation recommended

Avoid overstroke and overpressure to prevent internal seal damage

Ensure piston rod is parallel to load movement direction during installation to reduce side loading

After long-term storage, run unloaded several times to drain internal condensate before use

Regularly inspect seal condition; replace promptly if leakage or sluggish movement occurs

The AirTAC ACQ40X10SB is a double-acting thin cylinder with a typical working principle:

compressed air is alternately supplied to both ends to push the piston and drive the piston rod in linear reciprocation, while the built-in magnetic ring provides position feedback.

1. Basic Structure

The cylinder mainly consists of:

Cylinder tube

Piston

Piston rod

Front and rear end caps (each with an air port)

Sealing rings

Built-in magnetic ring on piston (marked by S in model)

External magnetic switch (необязательный)

2. Принцип работы
3. Piston Rod Extension

Compressed air enters the rear chamber through the rear air port

Front air port exhausts

Air pressure pushes the piston forward

Piston drives the rod outward

Maximum extension equals stroke: 10 мм

2. Piston Rod Retraction

Compressed air enters the front chamber through the front air port

Rear air port exhausts

Air pressure pushes the piston backward

Rod retracts to home position

Fully pneumatically driven, no spring return — hence double-acting cylinder.

3. Position Detection Principle (Function of “S”)

The piston has a permanent magnetic ring. When it reaches either end, the magnetic field triggers the magnetic switch mounted outside the cylinder.

Switch outputs electrical signal

Informs PLC/controller: rod fully extended / fully retracted

Enables automatic positioning, limit control, and counting

3. Summary of ACQ40X10SB Features

Double-acting: Both extension and retraction powered by air, stable thrust and motion

Thin profile: Small size for space-limited installations

With magnetic ring (С): Supports magnetic switches for position sensing

External thread rod (Б): Direct mounting of fixtures, pushers and connectors
