MD Series Multi-Mount Free Installation Compact Cylinder

Brand: SOLH by Richge Technology

Product Series Overview

     SOLH MD series is standard multi-position free mounting miniature cylinder with full-circle mounting holes, ultra-thin block shape and arbitrary-angle installation capability. Designed for narrow confined equipment space, high-density layout and light-load intermittent ejection & positioning workstations.

     5 complete sub-models cover single/double rod, single/double acting, fixed/adjustable stroke demands:

     -- MD: Single rod double acting (standard universal type)

     -- MSD: Single rod single acting (spring extend out)

     -- MTD: Single rod single acting (spring retract in)

     -- MDD: Double rod double acting (anti-torsion no rotation)

     -- MDJ: Double rod double acting with rear adjustable stroke

Structural Design & Core Performance Advantages

  1. Full 6-direction multi-position mounting

     -- Uniform tapped holes distributed on front, rear, left, right, top and bottom of cylinder body; can be fixed at any plane & any angle. Multiple cylinders side-by-side parallel arrangement maximizes cabinet space utilization.

  2. Ultra-thin block lightweight body

     -- 30%~50% thinner wall thickness than standard round body cylinders, die-cast lightweight aluminum alloy main body for miniaturized mechanism design.

  3. Self-lubricating piston rod bearing

     -- Integrated low-friction self-lubricating bushing on piston rod, oil-free operation, long service life and stable smooth movement.

  4. Standard magnetic switch mounting grooves

     -- Dedicated trapezoidal slide grooves on both sides of cylinder body; easy assembly, disassembly and position shifting of magnetic reed switches without extra brackets.

  5. Built-in front rubber buffer pad

     -- Integrated buffer at rod end absorbs impact vibration, reduces operating noise and protects small fixtures & workpieces.

  6. Expandable double rod & adjustable stroke variants

     -- MDD double rod: Strong anti-torsion performance, zero rotary deflection, stable linear guiding under side load

     -- MDJ adjustable stroke: Rear fine-tuning screw for stroke limit adjustment, flexible for variable positioning length requirements

Complete Model Naming Rules

  1. Model 1: Standard single rod double acting MD16×30S

     -- MD = Series code, single rod double acting compact cylinder

     -- 16 = Bore diameter (mm)

     -- 30 = Basic stroke length (mm)

     -- S = Built-in magnetic ring (blank = no magnet)

  2. Model 2: Adjustable double rod MDJ20×20-10S

     -- MDJ = Double rod double acting with rear stroke adjustment

     -- 20 = Bore size (mm)

     -- 20 = Fixed base stroke

     -- 10 = Adjustable extra stroke (Total travel = 20 + 10 = 30mm)

     -- S = Built-in magnetic ring optional suffix

Step-by-Step Selection Guide & Typical Applications

  1. Core Selection Judgment Rules

     -- Space restriction priority: Narrow installation cavity, dense layout, multi-angle mounting demand → Choose MD series block compact cylinder

     -- Load condition screening: Pure axial light load without side deflection → Standard MD single rod; Side torsion / offset side load exists → MDD double rod anti-rotation model

     -- Stroke adjustment demand: Variable positioning travel needs fine limit → MDJ adjustable stroke double rod variant

     -- Position signal feedback: Add suffix S with CMSH/DMSH magnetic switch for PLC stroke detection

  2. Typical Industrial Application Scenarios

     -- 3C & Semiconductor Automation: Mini fixture clamping, material pushing, component crimping, precise positioning stations

     -- General Automated Equipment: Workpiece blocking, station switching, small linear reciprocating mechanisms

     -- Home Appliance & Hardware Assembly: Small part press-fit, snap fastening, micro glue dispensing

     -- Packaging & Food Machinery: Light-load material conveying, product clamping, automatic sorting separation

One Sentence Summary

     SOLH MD multi-direction free mount compact cylinder covers single/double rod, single/double acting and adjustable stroke MDJ variants with full 6-side mounting holes, built-in buffer and optional magnetic ring, ultra-thin lightweight design ideal for light-load clamping, ejecting and positioning in 3C, semiconductor, packaging and mini automation equipment.
