Load Characteristics and Movement Modes
Pneumatic Cylinder Load Characteristics
Static Load
Definition: The load a pneumatic cylinder bears when stationary.
Features: The maximum static load of a pneumatic cylinder is determined by its inner diameter, piston rod diameter, and air pressure. High-strength materials and structural designs can increase static load capacity.
Dynamic Load
Definition: The load a pneumatic cylinder bears during movement.
Features: Dynamic loads include inertial force, friction, and external forces during pneumatic cylinder movement. A pneumatic cylinder needs good dynamic response to ensure stability during rapid movement.
Impact Load
Definition: The sudden high-intensity load a pneumatic cylinder endures.
Features: Impact loads are common during rapid start-stop or speed changes. Pneumatic Cylinder designs need to consider buffering measures and strengthened structures to reduce damage from impact loads.
Lateral Load
Definition: The load a pneumatic cylinder bears outside its direction of movement.
Features: Different types of pneumatic cylinders have varying capacities for lateral loads. Designs usually include guiding systems or additional support structures to increase lateral load capacity.
Magnitude of Force
Definition: That is, the selection of cylinder bore. According to the size of the load force to determine the cylinder output of the thrust and pull force.
Features: Generally according to the theoretical balance of external load conditions required cylinder force, according to different speeds to choose a different load rate, so that the cylinder output force slightly spare. Cylinder diameter is too small, the output force is not enough, but the cylinder diameter is too large, so that the equipment is bulky and heavy, the cost increases, but also increase gas consumption, waste of energy. In the fixture design, should try to use the force expansion mechanism to reduce the external dimensions of the cylinder.
Piston Stroke
Definition: Determined by the application’s required stroke length.
Features: It is related to the occasion of use and the stroke of the mechanism, but the full stroke is generally not selected to prevent the piston and cylinder head from touching each other. If it is used for clamping mechanism, etc., a margin of 10～20㎜ should be added to the stroke required by calculation.
Piston Movement Speed
Definition: Mainly depends on the cylinder input compressed air flow, the size of the cylinder inlet and exhaust ports and the size of the inner diameter of the conduit.
Features: Require high speed movement should be taken as a large value. Cylinder movement speed is generally 50～800㎜/s. For high-speed cylinders, choose large-diameter inlet pipes. Use throttling devices or air-liquid damping cylinders for stable, slow speeds in variable load situations. For horizontal load movement, exhaust throttling is recommended; for vertical load lifting, intake throttling is advised. Cylinders with cushioning devices should be used to ensure smooth movement at the stroke’s end.
Pneumatic Cylinder Movement Modes
Linear Movement
Definition: The piston of a pneumatic cylinder moves back and forth in a linear direction.
Application: The most common movement mode, widely used for pushing, pulling, lifting, and other linear actions.
Single-Acting and Double-Acting
- Double-Acting Cylinder: This type of cylinder relies on air pressure to move in both directions. It has two air ports, one for pushing the piston forward and another for pushing the piston back. Double-acting cylinders are suitable for applications requiring control and work in both directions, such as reciprocating robotic arms and clamping devices. The advantage of this type is its ability to provide stable and powerful bidirectional force output, making it ideal for frequent back-and-forth motion scenarios.
- Single-Acting Cylinder (Spring Return): This cylinder relies on air pressure to move in one direction and uses an internal spring to return to the initial position. Typically, air pressure extends the piston rod, and when the air pressure is released, the spring retracts the piston rod. This design simplifies the control system with only one air port, making it suitable for applications requiring simple return actions, such as door control systems and simple push-pull operations in automation equipment. The advantage of this type is its simple structure and lower cost, though the reliance on the spring for the return motion may limit its application range.
- Single-Acting Cylinder (Spring Extend): This type is the opposite of the spring return cylinder, where air pressure retracts the piston rod, and the internal spring extends the piston rod when the air pressure is released. This type of cylinder is suitable for applications where pressure needs to be applied to maintain a certain position, such as safety device locking mechanisms and stabilizing load positions. Like the spring return type, it features a simple structure, but relying on the spring for the extending motion may affect the stability of the output.
Rotary Movement
Definition: The cylinder’s movement involves angular rotation around an axis.
Application: Used in situations requiring limited-angle rotation, such as turntables and valve control.
Multi-Position Control
Definition: The cylinder can switch between multiple different positions.
Application: Suitable for precise positioning and multi-position operations, such as automated assembly lines.
Buffering and Vibration Reduction
Built-In Buffering: Internal buffering structures absorb energy to reduce impact.
External Buffering: External buffering devices achieve vibration reduction and cushioning functions.
Features: Suitable for high-speed, high-frequency actions, extending the cylinder’s lifespan.
Composite Movement
Definition: The cylinder achieves composite movement of linear and rotational in the same stroke.
Application: Used for complex motion control scenarios, such as robotic arms.
When choosing a cylinder, consider its load characteristics and movement modes based on actual application scenarios and needs. FOYE offers a variety of cylinders with different load characteristics and movement modes to meet diverse industrial demands.

Determining Cylinder Size and Stroke
Working Space Constraints
When selecting a cylinder size, working space constraints are a crucial consideration. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
1.Installation Space: Ensure that the cylinder can operate freely within the available working space after installation. Measure the available installation space and select a cylinder size that fits. The installation space includes the fixed position of the cylinder and its range of motion.
2.Cylinder Dimensions: Different types of cylinders have varying dimensions, including diameter and length. Compact cylinders are a good choice for limited space.
3.Proximity to Equipment and Obstacles: Consider whether the cylinder will come into contact with other equipment or obstacles during operation. Ensure that there are no interferences throughout the cylinder’s stroke.
Movement Range Requirements
The movement range is a critical factor in cylinder selection. Ensure that the cylinder can provide enough range of motion to complete the required tasks, including the following aspects:
1.Stroke Length: The stroke length of the cylinder must meet the application’s requirements. The stroke length is the distance between the piston rod’s fully extended and fully retracted positions. Choose an appropriate stroke length based on actual application needs.
2.Fully Extended and Fully Retracted Positions: When designing the system, clarify the cylinder’s fully extended and fully retracted positions. This helps ensure that the cylinder can reach the necessary positions throughout its movement.
3.Accurate Positioning: In some applications, precise positioning is crucial. Ensure that the cylinder can provide accurate and repeatable positioning at each point.
Effects of Too Long or Too Short Stroke
Choosing the appropriate stroke length significantly impacts the cylinder’s performance and service life. Here are the potential issues with a stroke that is too long or too short:
Too Long Stroke:
1.Space Waste: If the stroke length exceeds the actual need, it will waste installation space and may lead to unnecessary design complexity.
2.Reduced Stability: An excessively long stroke can cause the piston rod to bend or become unstable, especially under heavy loads. This can shorten the cylinder’s service life and increase the failure rate.
Too Short Stroke:
1.Inability to Complete Tasks: An insufficient stroke may prevent the cylinder from reaching the required working position, making it impossible to complete the intended tasks.
2.Overloading: A short stroke may cause the cylinder to frequently reach its physical limits, increasing the wear and tear on internal parts and shortening the cylinder’s lifespan.
When selecting the cylinder size and stroke, comprehensively consider the working space constraints and the specific requirements for the range of motion. Ensure that the stroke length is moderate—neither too long to waste space nor too short to affect performance. The correct choice can improve system efficiency and reliability, extend the cylinder’s service life, and reduce maintenance costs.

where F is the thrust, P is the air supply pressure, and A is the piston area.
Piston Area Calculation:
where d is the piston diameter.
3.Considering Friction: In actual applications, friction must also be considered, so the calculated thrust needs to include a safety factor. It is generally recommended to increase the theoretical thrust by 20-30%.
Requirements and Influencing Factors of Movement Speed
The movement speed of the cylinder is another critical parameter that directly affects work efficiency and system performance. Here are the main factors influencing the movement speed of the cylinder:
1.Air Supply Pressure and Flow: The pressure and flow of the air supply directly determine the movement speed of the cylinder. Higher pressure and flow can provide faster speeds.
2.Load Weight: Heavier loads require greater thrust, which affects the cylinder’s acceleration and deceleration performance, ultimately influencing the movement speed.
3.Cylinder Size: Larger piston areas provide greater thrust at the same air supply pressure, but also require more air, which may limit speed.
4.Piping and Valves: The air paths for the cylinder’s intake and exhaust significantly affect speed. Long pipes or small-diameter valves increase airflow resistance, affecting speed.
5.Environmental Factors: Temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors can also affect the cylinder’s movement speed. For example, lubrication oil may become viscous in low temperatures, increasing friction resistance.
