Mounting
Pneumatic cylinders and actuator mounts are essential for industrial automation, enabling precise mechanical motion using compressed air. Pneumatic cylinders harness compressed air's power to generate linear or rotary movement for tasks like lifting and pushing. Actuator mounts, on the other hand, ensure the stable positioning and alignment of these cylinders within a system, optimizing their functionality. Together, these components are integral in industries such as manufacturing and automation, where they contribute to the efficient and controlled execution of various tasks, enhancing productivity and precision.
Linear Cylinders
Centro offers linear cylinders, also known as linear actuators or hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders, which are mechanical devices that convert energy into linear motion. They are widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, automation, construction, and transportation. Linear cylinders consist of a piston or plunger that moves back and forth within a cylindrical housing, generating linear force and motion. These cylinders are powered by hydraulic fluid or compressed air, which is supplied to one side of the cylinder to push the piston in one direction, while the other side vents or returns the fluid to complete the cycle. Linear cylinders come in different designs, such as single-acting (one-directional force) and double-acting (bi-directional force). They offer precise control over linear movement, allowing for precise positioning, lifting, pushing, pulling, and clamping applications. Linear cylinders are essential in various industrial processes, such as material handling, machine tooling, assembly lines, and heavy equipment operations. With their robust construction, reliable performance, and versatility, linear cylinders enable efficient and controlled linear motion in various applications.
Rotary Actuators
Rotary actuators are mechanical devices that convert energy into rotational motion, providing controlled movement and positioning in various applications. These actuators are designed to generate rotary force and torque to actuate valves, dampers, robotic arms, and other mechanisms requiring rotational motion. Rotary actuators can operate in different ways, including pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrically powered systems. They offer precise and reliable rotational control, allowing for accurate positioning and adjustment of components. Rotary actuators find applications in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and robotics industries, where precise and controlled rotary motion is crucial for efficient operations.

FAQS
- Selecting the right pneumatic cylinder starts with defining the four core parameters of your application. Define four core parameters: bore size (force output = pressure × piston area, plus a 25–50% safety factor), stroke length (match to required travel, avoid excess), mounting style (fixed, flange, or pivot to suit your mechanical arrangement), and environment (standard, washdown, or food-grade seals). Speed is controlled by external flow valves, not cylinder selection. For precise positioning, consider a guided or rodless cylinder with position sensing rather than a standard unit.
- A soft starter ramps voltage at startup to limit inrush current and reduce mechanical shock, then steps aside once the motor reaches full speed. Use one when smooth starting is your only requirement. A VFD controls motor speed continuously throughout operation, making it the right choice whenever the process needs variable speed — conveyors, pumps, fans — and it delivers significant energy savings in centrifugal applications. If you only need a gentle start, use a soft starter. If you need speed control at any point during operation, invest in a VFD.
- PLCs are purpose-built for industrial environments — they tolerate heat, vibration, and electrical noise while executing control logic in deterministic millisecond scan cycles. They replace hardwired relay logic with reprogrammable software, making process changes fast and inexpensive. Built-in diagnostics centralize fault visibility and cut troubleshooting time. Modern PLCs integrate with HMIs, SCADA, and enterprise networks via standard protocols, enabling real-time data collection. Modular architecture means the system scales as the application grows.
- Start with the NEMA or IP rating: NEMA 1 for basic indoor use, NEMA 4/4X for washdown and outdoor exposure (4X adds corrosion resistance), NEMA 7/9 for hazardous classified locations. Size the enclosure with 20–30% spare interior space for future additions and adequate heat dissipation. Choose material based on environment — painted steel for standard indoor use, stainless for washdown or chemical exposure, fiberglass for highly corrosive areas. Verify any required certifications (UL, CSA, ATEX) before specifying.
- Solenoid valves are electrically actuated and can be triggered instantly by a PLC or control system, making them essential for automated, repeatable, or high-cycle applications. Manual directional control valves require a person to physically shift the valve and are appropriate for infrequent operations, manual overrides, or applications with no control system. In practice, most automated systems use solenoid valves for normal operation with a manual override built in for setup, maintenance, and emergency use. If the valve must respond to a signal, cycle repeatedly, or operate unattended, solenoid is the correct choice.
