Stainless Steel Cylinders Supplier

Stainless Steel Cylinders Supplier and Manufacturer in USA

Stainless steel cylinders are widely utilized in a variety of industries, including food processing and industrial automation, due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and hygiene. When purchasing these cylinders, it is critical to work with reliable manufacturers and suppliers.

What is a Stainless Steel Cylinder?

 

Stainless steel cylinders are cylindrical containers constructed from stainless steel, a highly corrosion-resistant metal. Stainless steel, unlike regular steel, contains chromium, which produces a protective oxide layer on the surface to prevent rust and other forms of corrosion. This distinguishing feature makes stainless steel cylinders appropriate for use in situations where moisture, chemicals, or extreme conditions are a problem.

Components of Stainless Steel Cylinders

 

Stainless Steel Cylinders are made of barrels, end covers, piston rods, screws & nuts. Cylinder Barrels, a highly corrosion-resistant and formable austenitic steel, is the go-to choice due to its versatility.

 

End covers, piston rods, screws & nuts, these components prioritize machinability with added sulfur for easier shaping.

Different Types of Stainless Steel Cylinders & How Do They Work?

 

Stainless Steel Cylinders function by using compressed air or various fluids to propel a piston. The operation begins when pressurized air is introduced to the cylinder through an intake valve. Stainless steel is favored in the construction of these cylinders due to its strength, longevity, and resistance to oxidation. The sizes and layouts of stainless steel cylinders can vary greatly, accommodating a wide range of applications.

 

Each cylinder features at least one inlet, and most stainless steel cylinder variations can be categorized into two groups: single-acting and double-acting cylinders.

 

Single-Acting Cylinders

 

A single-acting stainless steel cylinder contains just one port where compressed air enters. This air forces the piston to operate in a single direction. Once the piston completes its movement, it is retracted either by a spring mechanism or through a change in pressure or load of weight. Single-acting stainless steel cylinders come with auto-switch capability as standard.

 
  • Single acting single rod, spring return or spring extend
  • Bore sizes (inch): 3/4, 7/8, 1 1/16, , 1 1/4, 1 1/2
  • Maximum stroke:  up to 6″ as standard
  • Available with auto switches

Double-Acting Cylinders

 

In a double-acting cylinder, compressed air alternates between ports on both sides of the piston. This is achieved through an additional inlet on the opposite side of the piston, causing the piston to move back and forth repeatedly. A double-acting stainless steel cylinder has its own features.

 
  • Non Rotating Air Cylinder
  • Stainless Steel Body
  • Bore Sizes-3/4″ to 1 1/2″
  • 3 Mountings Types Available
  • Auto Switch Capability

Telescopic Cylinders

 

A third type of stainless steel cylinder is known as a Telescopic Cylinder. This design, in addition to its Pneumatic Cylinder, utilizes a pulley system to provide exceptionally long output travel from a very compact, retracted length. Telescopic cylinders are commonly used in applications like oil drill rig operations.

 
  • Stainless Steel
  • Chromium-plated steel
  • -4 to 176 Degree F
  • Filtered Air
  • 22-145 psi
 

The wide range of cylinder configurations is a response to the diverse settings in which they are used. Whether single-acting, double-acting, or telescopic, stainless steel cylinders are integral components in various industrial and commercial applications, providing reliable and efficient performance.

Choosing The Right Stainless Steel Cylinder

 

Selecting the appropriate stainless steel cylinder is crucial for ensuring optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity in various applications. Maxim Systems offers a range of stainless steel cylinders designed to meet diverse industrial needs. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right stainless steel cylinder with Maxim Systems.

 
  • Load Capacity: Determine the weight and force the cylinder needs to handle.
  • Stroke Length: Define the distance the piston needs to travel.
  • Cycle Speed: Assess the speed at which the cylinder needs to operate.
  • Single-Acting Cylinders: Ideal for applications where the piston only needs to move in one direction, using a return spring or external force for retraction.
  • Double-Acting Cylinders: Suitable for applications requiring the piston to move back and forth, offering more control and efficiency for continuous operations.
  • Corrosive Environments: Opt for higher grades like 316 stainless steel, which offer superior resistance to corrosion.
  • Rod or Rodless Cylinders: Rod cylinders are common, while rodless cylinders can save space and simplify installation.
  • Mounting Options: Maxim Systems offers various mounting style, such as flange, clevis, and trunnion to fit your installation needs.
  • Seal and Bearing Quality: High-quality seals and bearings from Maxim Systems reduce maintenance frequency.
