Please note following points:
•If the limits above are exceeded, additional shock absorbers are necessary
•For piston speeds < 0.2m/s slow speed lubrication is recommended
•Maximum seal life will be achieved when piston speeds do not exceed 1 m/s
Positioning Of Cylinder Mountings
Diagram information:
•Calculated deflections without support of 0.5-1mm allow exceeding of the approved limits
•Calculated deflections without support of >1-max.1.5mm require reduction of approved limits

Control Examples
Rodless Cylinders
Circuit diagram for end of stroke
application. Intermediate positioning
is also possible.
The cylinder is controlled by two
3/2-way valves (normally open).
The speed can be adjusted
independantly for both directions.
Circuit diagram for end of stroke
application. Intermediate positioning
is also possible.
The cylinder is controlled by a 5/3-way
valve (middle position pressurised).
The speed can be adjusted
independantly for both directions.
The optional integrated 3/2 normally
closed valves offer optimal control.
It also allows accurate positioning of
intermediate positions and the lowest
possible speeds.
PLG-140
Fast/slow speed cycle control with pneumatic
brake for accurate positioning at high velocities.
Additional 3/2-way valves with adjustable throttle
valves at the exhaust of the standard directional
control valves for two displacement speeds in
each direction of the piston’s travel.
The combination of a PLG-140
with the passive brake, as shown here ,
allows accurate positioning and safety in
case of loss of pneumatic air pressure.
The valve controlling the brake is activated after
the slow speed cycle is activated.
