What is a double rod cylinder

The double rod cylinder is a common pneumatic actuator. Its main feature is that it has two working rods (also called piston rods) extending from both ends of the cylinder. Compared with single rod cylinders, double rod cylinders are more flexible and practical in certain applications.

Double-rod cylinders usually consist of a cylinder block, two working rods, a piston, sealing rings and other components. When air pressure is applied to the cylinder, the piston begins to reciprocate, and the two working rods also move symmetrically. This design allows the double-rod cylinder to have better balance in the horizontal direction, reducing shaking and improving positioning accuracy.

Double rod cylinders have a wide range of applications and are usually used in situations where linear motion along two axes is required, such as machine tools, automated production lines, packaging equipment, etc. In some application scenarios, the double-rod cylinder can also control the stroke and speed by adjusting the length of the two working rods, thereby achieving more precise motion control.

In short, the double rod cylinder is a powerful, stable and reliable pneumatic actuator, which is widely used in various pneumatic systems. Its superior performance and flexibility also make it an indispensable part in the field of pneumatic control.
