Cylinder lifting stroke switch and compression self-locking

Cylinder lifting stroke switch and compression self-locking are two common devices in pneumatic system.

1. Cylinder lifting stroke switch: The cylinder lifting stroke switch is a device for detecting the lifting position of the cylinder. When the piston of the cylinder reaches the preset stroke position, the stroke switch will send a signal to inform the control system to carry out corresponding operation. This can ensure that the cylinder reaches the expected position accurately in the working process and improve the accuracy and stability of the system.

Expansion: Cylinder lifting stroke switch is widely used, such as automatic feeding system in machining and lifting device in material transportation. They can choose different types of travel switches according to actual needs, such as proximity switches and photoelectric switches.

2. Compression self-locking: Compression self-locking is a device for fixing the position of cylinder piston. When the cylinder reaches the predetermined position, compression and self-locking will automatically lock the piston to prevent it from accidentally sliding or losing its position. This can ensure the cylinder to maintain a stable position and a fixed pressure in the work, and improve the reliability and safety of the system.

Expansion: According to different application requirements, the design principle of compression self-locking can be different. For example, in some industrial equipment, in order to avoid the displacement of the piston due to accidental loosening or vibration, the compression self-locking can adopt thread design or hydraulic locking device to ensure that the piston is fixed in the required position.

To sum up, the cylinder lifting stroke switch and compression self-locking play an important role in the pneumatic system, which are used to detect the position of the cylinder and fix the position of the piston respectively. Through reasonable selection and application, the accuracy, stability and safety of pneumatic system can be improved.
