New guided pneumatic cylinders from Hoerbiger-Origa
New guided pneumatic cylinders from Hoerbiger-Origa combine the driving and the guiding elements into a single unitary design that is compact, robust and simple. The FZ series is available with a choice of sliding or ball bearing guides, and the cylinder can be directly assembled with no mounting accessories required.
The drive is double acting pneumatics, with or without end buffers, and the piston is magnetic for ease of position detection. It is available in diameters of 20, 25, 32, 40, 50mm and ten standard strokes covering 20 to 200mm, with special strokes on request. Typical applications include lifting, feeding and stopping of components in assembly and manufacturing.
Straightforward design and low weight make the units ideal for multi-axes systems, aided by the versatile top, bottom, side and back mounting options. “We have designed the FZ to simplify the machine/installation design and build function and ensured that its reliability is exceptional so that it will not cause unexpected production downtime and consequent loss of throughput,” said H-O managing director Ray Barnes.
