Mini cylinders
Pneumatic cylinders and drives
Aventics miniature cylinders cover two product families: the SWN series (screw-in cylinders, single-acting) with thread sizes M10x1 to M22x1.5 and strokes of 5-15 mm, and the ICM series (double-acting mini cylinders) with bores from 10 to 20 mm and strokes up to 100 mm. The 155 variants address applications requiring the smallest possible envelope with a defined actuating force.
SWN series (screw-in cylinder) - single-acting (SA), threads M10x1 / M16x1.5 / M22x1.5, strokes 5-15 mm
ICM series (mini cylinder) - double-acting (DA), bores 10 / 12 / 16 / 20 mm, strokes 12-100 mm
Miniature profile - for tight installation spaces in special machines and handling equipment
Screw-in mounting (SWN) - direct thread mounting without additional brackets, minimises envelope
155 variants - both series combined for small to medium force requirements
| Criterion | SWN (screw-in cylinder) | ICM (mini cylinder) |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Single-acting (SA) | Double-acting (DA) |
| Mounting | Screw-in via M10x1, M16x1.5, M22x1.5 | Standard bracket mounting |
| Bore | 6 / 10 / 16 mm | 10 / 12 / 16 / 20 mm |
