How to adjust the pneumatic cylinder when the extension and retraction is not smooth and stuck

①. Reasons for the unsmooth extension and retraction of pneumatic cylinders and their jamming

There are many reasons for the pneumatic cylinder not extending smoothly or getting stuck, such as aging of the cylinder seal and dirt on the inner wall of the cylinder. Different causes require different adjustment methods.

②. Adjustment Methods

1.Adjust the pressure of the air source

The working pressure of the pneumatic cylinder is very important. If the pressure is too low, the extension and retraction of the cylinder will become slow. Conversely, if the pressure is too high, the extension and retraction of the cylinder will become stuck. Therefore, the pressure of the gas source needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation.

2. Clean the cylinder

Rust, dust, oil stains and other substances may deposit on the inner wall of the cylinder, which may cause the cylinder to get stuck. Therefore, cleaning the inner wall of the cylinder is an important method to keep the pneumatic cylinder working normally.

3. Replace the seals

If the cylinder seal ages or wears out, it will cause the cylinder to extend and contract unsmoothly. At this time, the corresponding seal needs to be replaced.

4. Adjust the tightness of the cylinder piston

If the piston of the cylinder is too tight or too loose, it will cause the cylinder to extend and contract unsmoothly. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately adjust the tightness of the cylinder piston according to the actual situation.

③. Precautions

When adjusting the pneumatic cylinder, safety must be given top priority. At the same time, the appropriate adjustment method should be selected based on the specific situation to avoid the cylinder getting more stuck due to incorrect operation.

[Conclusion]

The problem of the pneumatic cylinder not extending smoothly and getting stuck may be caused by reasons such as the pressure of the air source, dirt on the inner wall of the cylinder, and the sealing parts of the cylinder. This problem can be effectively solved by adjusting the air source pressure, cleaning the cylinder, replacing the sealing parts and adjusting the tightness of the cylinder piston, etc., to ensure the normal operation of the pneumatic cylinder.
