How do I choose the right cylinder bore and stroke?

Selection depends on force, pressure, installation space, travel distance, and mounting conditions. Sharing application details helps confirm the correct model faster.

Can you support non-standard cylinder stroke or mounting?

Yes. Many projects require custom stroke, magnet options, or mounting accessories, and availability can be confirmed based on the model and quantity.

Quick Value Summary

What This Category Helps You Solve

This page is for buyers who need to confirm which cylinder family fits the machine structure before moving to a quotation.

Compact Installations

SDA and mini-style cylinders help when machine depth and mounting space are limited.

Mainstream Machine Builds

SC cylinders cover standard automation motion where broad bore and stroke options matter.

Profile and Custom Layouts

DNC and rod-style cylinders fit projects that need standardized mounting or more flexible layout options.

Supply Paths

Choose the right cylinder path before you compare series

Category pages should route buyers into the correct commercial path first, then help them narrow the correct series and RFQ inputs.

AirTAC Authorized Cylinder Path

Use this path when the buyer needs AirTAC original-brand continuity, authorized quotation support, and known AirTAC series references.

Open AirTAC Cylinder Path

HKQD Compatible Cylinder Path

Use this path when the buyer needs HKQD own-brand supply, practical replacement support, or cost-controlled compatible sourcing.

Typical Applications

Where Buyers Commonly Use These Cylinders

Clamping and Fixture Motion

Compact and standard cylinders are widely used in assembly, packaging, and jig positioning.

Pushing and Transfer

SC and DNC lines fit common transfer and linear movement requirements in automation equipment.

Compact Machinery

SDA, MA, and MAL work well where installation depth and weight are more restricted.

Sensor-Ready Motion

Projects that need position feedback can be paired with magnetic switches more easily.

How to Select

What Buyers Usually Confirm Before RFQ

Confirm bore size, stroke, working pressure, and mounting structure first
Check whether magnetic switch support is needed for position sensing
Review installation space, corrosion conditions, and replacement constraints
Prepare quantity, delivery expectation, and export packing requirements before RFQ

Best Inputs to Send

For the fastest matching, send the cylinder series if known, plus bore, stroke, mounting type, and any photos or drawings from the machine.

FAQ

Questions Buyers Ask Most Often

How do I choose the right cylinder family?

The main selection points are bore, stroke, mounting structure, space constraints, and whether the project also needs magnetic switch support.

What information helps cylinder matching go faster?

Send the cylinder series if known, along with bore, stroke, mounting type, and any photos or drawings from the machine.

Can cylinders be quoted together with valves and switches?

Yes. Cylinder projects are often supplied together with solenoid valves, fittings, tubing, and magnetic switches in one quotation.

How should I choose between AirTAC and HKQD cylinder paths?

Use AirTAC when you need original-brand continuity or authorization-backed supply. Use HKQD when you need compatible sourcing, own-brand supply, or a practical replacement quotation.
