Free Mount Cylinder with Stroke Adjuster CDU: High-Precision Solutions for Global Manufacturing

Description

CDU Series: Integrated Free-Mount Pneumatic Cylinder

Precision Linear Motion with Multi-Directional Installation Flexibility

The CDU Series is a space-saving, double-acting single-rod cylinder designed for versatile integration into compact automation systems. Its rectangular “free-mount” body allows for direct installation from multiple faces without the need for additional brackets, ensuring a high degree of mounting rigidity and spatial efficiency.

Sensing and Automation Integration

All units are equipped with a built-in magnet for position sensing. The body features longitudinal slots for flush-mounting the following auto switch types:

• Reed Switch (D-A93): 24 VDC load voltage; 5 to 40mA load current.
• Solid State Switch (D-M9B / D-M9N): 2-wire or 3-wire (NPN) types; 24 VDC (10 to 28 VDC) load voltage.

Installation Torque Guidelines

To ensure structural integrity and prevent damage to the threaded mounting holes, the following tightening torques must be observed:

Bore Size	Hex Bolt Size	Appropriate Torque (N·m)
ø6, ø10	M3	1.08 ±10%
ø16	M4	2.45 ±10%
ø20, ø25	M5	5.10 ±10%

Engineering Precautions

1. Auto Switch Adjustment: Mounting positions should be fine-tuned during actual operation to ensure reliable stroke-end detection, particularly for short-stroke applications (5mm to 10mm).
2. Environmental Stability: For cleanroom vacuum models, refer to reference suction flow rates (e.g., 6 to 12 l/min ANR) to maintain particle containment.
3. Filtration: Clean air must be used to protect internal seals and prevent contamination in relief-type models
