Faster and quieter with cushioned
cylinders

Rexroth Mecman has developed an advanced cushioning concept for its VDMA/ISO cylinders that significantly reduces production times, noise levels and vibration in high speed applications.

Rexroth Mecman has developed an advanced cushioning concept for its VDMA/ISO cylinders that significantly reduces production times, noise levels and vibration in high speed applications The ISO/VDMA cylinder range is available with the option of both pneumatic cushioning and resilient buffers in the end covers

This combination reduces the total cylinder cycle time by 20-30 per cent, resulting in faster, more efficient production.

This concept also reduces piston-to-end cover contact, decreasing noise levels by up to 30dBA or 8 times in applications involving metal to metal contact.

Vibration levels are also substantially lower.

In addition, Rexroth Mecman offers cylinder designers the opportunity to optimise the degree of cushioning for their specific application.

The company provides detailed advice on achieving ideal cushioning for a given mass and offers an electronic test device which enables the exact velocity of the piston to be determined quickly and easily. Request a free brochure from Bosch Rexroth - Pneumatics ...
