NORGREN customized cylinder

NORGREN is a subsidiary of IMI Group in the UK

Our pneumatic product manufacturer and fluid control solution supplier are renowned for their cylinder products' high performance, high reliability, and diverse designs, which are widely used in industrial automation, rail transportation, medical equipment, and other fields. The following is an introduction to the core characteristics and classification of Norcrown cylinders:

1、 Core Features

1. Materials and Processes

• The cylinder body is made of anodized aluminum material, and the end cap is made of die cast aluminum (some large cylinder diameter models are gravity die cast aluminum), which combines lightweight and high strength.
• The piston rod undergoes pre rolling hardening treatment, surface electroplating with hard chromium and fine grinding, possessing anti rust and wear-resistant properties.
• The sealing system adopts polyurethane or nitrile rubber (NBR) to ensure low leakage rate and long service life235.

2. work performance

• Pressure rangeStandard models cover 1-16 bar (some large bore models are limited to 1-10 bar).
• temperature adaptability-20 ℃ to+80 ℃ (cylinder diameter ≤ 125mm), with large cylinder diameter models ranging from -10 ℃ to+80 ℃.
• high-precision controlThe piston is precisely matched with the cylinder body, and some models are equipped with adjustable buffer design (such as RA/8000 series) to reduce terminal impact278.

3. customized service

Support on-demand adjustment of cylinder diameter, stroke, and installation specifications, and provide magnetic piston options (such as RA/8000/M series) for easy installation of magnetic switches

2、 Main types and applicable scenarios

1. Single acting cylinder

• Only one end intake, relying on spring or air pressure reset, simple structure and low air consumption, suitable for short stroke, low load scenarios (such as clamping, positioning)911.

2. Double acting cylinder

• Bidirectional intake output force, divided into single piston rod, double piston rod and other types, widely used in automation equipment that requires bidirectional drive910.

3. Rodless cylinder

• Realizing piston movement through magnetic or mechanical coupling, saving axial space, suitable for long stroke (up to 3 meters) and compact equipment, such as material conveying systems1011.

4. Buffer cylinder

• Built in adjustable buffering device (such as RA/8000 series) to reduce impact at the end of travel, suitable for high-speed motion scenarios910.

5. Swing cylinder

• Convert linear motion into oscillation (angle<280 °) through blade or gear rack structure, used for fixture rotation or valve control

3、 Application Fields

• Industrial AutomationMaterial handling and assembly line positioning.
• rail transitDoor control and braking system.
• medical equipmentPrecision instrument drive.
• Energy and Chemical IndustryFluid control in corrosion-resistant and explosion-proof environments145.

4、 Selection and maintenance

• Selection parametersAccording to the load force (formula:F = n × P × S，nSelect the model for safety factor, travel, installation space, and environmental conditions (such as high temperature and corrosion)68.
• Maintenance pointsRegularly check the wear of seals, clean the piston rod, and prevent impurities from entering the cylinder body; Abnormal noise or leaks need to be promptly investigated39.
