Aventics Pneumatics

Aventics pneumatic cylinders are precision-engineered actuators designed for industrial automation and manufacturing processes, including packaging machinery, automotive assembly lines, material handling systems, and process automation. The product range includes ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinders from the ITS series and compact CKP-CL slot cylinders, engineered for applications requiring reliable linear motion control in manufacturing environments. These cylinders serve industries such as automotive production, food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and general automation where consistent positioning and force application are critical for operational efficiency.

Aventics pneumatic cylinders are available with bore sizes ranging from 25mm to 320mm, as demonstrated by the CKP series (25-32mm bore) and ITS series (320mm bore) models. The ITS-DA-320 series offers stroke lengths from 200mm to 500mm with operating pressures typically ranging from 1.5 to 10 bar depending on the specific model configuration. Port connections are standardized with G1/8" threading for most models, while cylinder mounting options include both single and double-acting configurations identified by the designation codes in the product numbering system.

Aventics pneumatic cylinders are manufactured to comply with ISO 15552 international standard for pneumatic cylinders, as evidenced by the ITS series tie-rod cylinders which carry this designation in their product specifications. The cylinders also meet ISO 6432 standards for compact cylinders where applicable, ensuring dimensional interchangeability with other manufacturers' products. Additional compliance includes CE marking under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and pressure equipment standards for safe operation in industrial environments across European markets.

The Aventics ITS series represents heavy-duty tie-rod cylinders with 320mm bore diameter designed for high-force applications, featuring ISO 15552 compliance and stroke lengths ranging from 200mm to 500mm. In contrast, the CKP-CL series offers compact slot cylinders with smaller bore sizes of 25mm and 32mm, designed for space-constrained applications requiring precise positioning with stroke lengths up to 1240mm. The ITS series uses tie-rod construction for maximum strength and durability, while the CKP series employs a slot design that enables direct mounting and integrated position feedback capabilities.

Aventics pneumatic cylinders require standard compressed air supply at 6 bar operating pressure with G1/8" threaded port connections for air inlet and exhaust. The ITS series cylinders utilize ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, ensuring direct replacement compatibility with existing installations, while mounting hardware includes both front and rear mounting options depending on application requirements. Proper installation requires adequate air filtration to 40 microns, lubrication through FRL units, and electrical connections for position sensors where integrated, with ambient temperature operation typically specified between -20°C and +80°C.

Aventics pneumatic cylinders operate within a standard pressure range of 1.5 to 10 bar, with optimal performance achieved at 6 bar working pressure for most industrial applications. The operating temperature range spans from -20°C to +80°C for standard sealing materials, with extended temperature variants available for specialized applications. The cylinders feature IP65 protection class rating for dust and water ingress protection, making them suitable for harsh industrial environments including washdown applications in food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing where hygiene standards are critical.

Aventics pneumatic cylinders require routine inspection every 1 million cycles or annually, whichever occurs first, including examination of seals, piston rod condition, and mounting hardware integrity. Preventive maintenance includes lubrication system checks, air quality verification to maintain filtration below 40 microns, and seal replacement typically required after 5-10 million cycles depending on operating conditions and media quality. The cylinders are designed for a service life exceeding 20 million cycles under standard industrial conditions, with major overhaul intervals extending to 3-5 years in typical automation applications when proper air preparation and operating parameters are maintained.
