Asco NNFA063/0030/0030TC (S) 3‑Position Adjustable Stroke Pneumatic Cylinder 63MM Bore Anodized Aluminum Body For Cement Bagging Filling Control Equipment

Product Description:

The ASCO Numatics pneumatic cylinder range offers a variety of specialized solutions tailored to industrial automation, heavy-duty cement plant operations, and multi-position filling control applications. This extensive portfolio features several product lines, including the NNF 3-position cylinders that provide independently adjustable strokes ideal for filling and batching processes. Additionally, the lineup includes the NNS ISO 15552 profile and tie-rod cylinders designed for general industrial automation tasks, the NSS compact cylinders suited for installations where space is limited, and the NAA cement plant cylinders engineered specifically for challenging high-temperature, dusty, and vibrating environments.

The cylinder bodies are crafted from anodized aluminum alloy, enhanced with wear-resistant coatings to ensure durability and longevity. Depending on the series, the piston rods are made from either hard chrome-plated carbon steel or stainless steel grade 1.4571 (AISI 316 Ti), providing robust performance under varying conditions. The seals used in these cylinders are composed of NBR (nitrile rubber) and PUR (polyurethane), materials chosen for their excellent wear resistance and long service life. Most of these series are compatible with magnetic position detection systems using reed or solid-state switches and incorporate adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends, which helps to minimize impact forces and reduce operational noise.

Focusing on specific applications, the NNF 3-position series is engineered particularly for cement bag filling machines, offering two independently adjustable stroke lengths—for example, 45 mm plus 15 mm or 30 mm plus 30 mm—and includes a trunnion-mount option to facilitate direct installation. Meanwhile, the NAA cement plant cylinder conforms to ISO 15552 standards and is rated for temperatures ranging from -20°C to +80°C. Its stainless steel construction ensures excellent corrosion resistance against cement dust and moisture prevalent in harsh plant environments. The NNS series also meets ISO 15552 requirements, with bore sizes ranging from 32 mm to 125 mm and a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar. To further support maintenance and reliability, repair kits matching models NNF63, NNS040/050, NSS025, and NAA032 are available, allowing for extended service life and minimized downtime.

Features:

The NNF series features a 3-position design that allows independent adjustment of the first and second strokes, ensuring precise control over filling and batching processes. This design enhances operational accuracy and flexibility.

Compliant with ISO 15552 standards, models such as the NNS and NAA are fully interchangeable with standard cylinders and their associated mounting accessories. This compatibility simplifies integration and replacement in existing systems.

Durability is assured with stainless steel piston rods available in hard chrome-plated carbon steel or AISI 316 Ti. These materials provide excellent resistance against corrosion and wear, extending the lifespan of the components.

Adjustable pneumatic cushioning on both ends effectively reduces the impact at the end of the stroke, minimizing vibration and noise. This feature contributes to smoother operation and enhanced equipment longevity.

Magnetic position sensing is incorporated through a built-in magnetic piston, which is compatible with both reed and solid-state switches. This allows for reliable stroke monitoring and precise position feedback.

Specifically designed for demanding environments in cement plants, the NAA model boasts a stainless steel body and rod along with PUR/NBR seals. It is rated to perform reliably under dusty, humid, and high-temperature conditions.

The series offers versatile mounting options including foot, flange, clevis, and trunnion styles to accommodate various installation requirements, making it adaptable to a wide range of applications.

For maintenance convenience, repair kits containing matching seals and wear parts are available for models such as NNF63, NNS040/050, NSS025, and NAA032. This ensures quick and efficient servicing.

Operating pressures of up to 10 bar are supported across most series, providing a wide pressure range suited to various industrial demands.

Applications:

The cement industry relies heavily on specialized equipment to enhance efficiency and accuracy. For instance, cement bag filling machines utilize NNF 3-position cylinders, which ensure precise positioning of the filling spout. These cylinders also support multi-stage stroke control, allowing for accurate and controlled filling processes.

In cement plants, silo and valve control is critical for smooth operation. NAA cylinders are commonly used to manage various tasks such as gate opening and closing, starting and stopping conveyors, and actuating valve groups. These cylinders provide reliable and robust performance in demanding environments.

Industrial automation and assembly lines demand precise linear motion to maintain high production quality. NNS profile and tie-rod cylinders are designed specifically for such applications. They deliver consistent and accurate movements, which are essential for efficient assembly and automation processes.

Packaging machinery benefits from a range of cylinder types to perform critical tasks. Multi-position and standard cylinders are extensively employed in cartoning, filling, and sealing stations. Their versatility allows for smooth operation across various packaging stages.

Material handling operations often face space constraints, necessitating compact solutions. NSS compact cylinders are ideal for these scenarios, providing effective clamping, ejecting, and positioning capabilities within limited spaces.

Valve automation involves the actuation of different valve types such as gate valves, butterfly valves, and dampers. Cylinders play a vital role in this automation, ensuring precise and reliable operation of valve mechanisms in diverse industrial applications.
