Product Description:
The ASCO Numatics range of pneumatic cylinders offers specialized solutions tailored for various industrial applications. This includes equipment designed for industrial automation, heavy-duty cement plant operations, and precise multi-position filling control systems. Within this lineup, there are several distinct models such as the NNF 3-position cylinders, which feature independently adjustable strokes ideal for filling and batching processes. Additionally, the portfolio includes the NNS ISO 15552 profile and tie-rod cylinders suited for general industrial automation tasks.
For installations where space is limited, the NSS compact cylinders provide an optimal solution due to their smaller footprint. Meanwhile, the NAA cement plant cylinders are specifically engineered to withstand harsh environments characterized by high temperatures, heavy dust, and constant vibrations. Each model is designed with durability and performance in mind, ensuring reliable operation across challenging industrial conditions.
The construction of these cylinders involves anodized aluminum alloy bodies complemented by wear-resistant coatings to enhance longevity. Depending on the series, piston rods are made from either hard chrome-plated carbon steel or stainless steel 1.4571 (AISI 316 Ti), which ensures resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. The sealing components utilize NBR (nitrile rubber) and PUR (polyurethane) materials, chosen for their durability and ability to maintain long service life under continuous use.
Most cylinder series within the ASCO Numatics range support magnetic position detection, implemented through reed or solid-state switches. This feature enables precise monitoring of cylinder positions during operation. Additionally, adjustable pneumatic cushioning is available at both ends of the cylinders, which serves to minimize impact forces and reduce operational noise, thereby improving overall system efficiency and longevity.
Specifically, the NNF 3-position series is expertly crafted for cement bag filling machines. It offers two independently adjustable stroke lengths—for example, combinations such as 45 mm plus 15 mm or 30 mm plus 30 mm—allowing for flexible application needs. This series also includes a trunnion-mount option which facilitates direct adaptation to existing machinery.
The NAA cement plant cylinder meets ISO 15552 standards and is designed to operate reliably within a temperature range of -20°C to +80°C. Its stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance to combat the effects of cement dust and moisture. Similarly, the NNS series complies with ISO 15552 and is available with bore sizes ranging from 32 mm up to 125 mm, supporting a maximum working pressure of 10 bar.
To further extend the operational life of these cylinders and minimize downtime, matching repair kits are offered. These kits are compatible with specific models such as the NNF63, NNS040/050, NSS025, and NAA032, providing convenient maintenance solutions for users.
Features:
NNF 3-Position Design
The NNF series features a 3-position design that allows independent adjustment of the first and second strokes. This setup ensures precise control over filling and batching operations, enhancing overall process accuracy.
Compliance with ISO 15552 Standards
Models NNS and NAA comply with the ISO 15552 standard, making them fully interchangeable with standard cylinders and compatible with existing mounting accessories. This ensures seamless integration into current systems.
Durable Stainless Steel Piston Rods
The piston rods are made of hard chrome-plated carbon steel or AISI 316 Ti stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability against wear. This construction extends the service life of the cylinders in demanding environments.
Adjustable Pneumatic Cushioning
Pneumatic cushioning can be adjusted to reduce impact, vibration, and noise at both ends of the stroke. This feature helps protect the mechanical components and contributes to quieter operation.
Magnetic Position Sensing
Integrated magnetic pistons work with reed and solid-state switches to enable accurate stroke monitoring. This built-in sensing capability facilitates efficient automation and control.
Robust Design for Cement Plant Environments
The NAA series is designed for durability in harsh cement plant conditions, featuring stainless steel bodies and rods, PUR/NBR seals, and ratings suitable for dusty, humid, and high-temperature environments.
Flexible Mounting Options
A variety of mounting configurations are available, including foot, flange, clevis, and trunnion types across the cylinder series. This versatility allows customization to suit different installation requirements.

Applications:
Cement bag filling processes benefit greatly from the use of NNF 3-position cylinders. These cylinders ensure accurate positioning of the filling spout and provide multi-stage stroke control, enhancing the precision and efficiency of the filling operation.
In cement plants, silo and valve control is critical. NAA cylinders are employed for tasks such as opening and closing gates, starting and stopping conveyors, and actuating valve groups, ensuring smooth and reliable material flow within the plant.
Industrial automation and assembly lines rely on NNS profile and tie-rod cylinders. These components deliver precise linear motion, which is essential for maintaining accuracy and consistency during production processes.
The packaging industry utilizes a variety of cylinders, including both multi-position and standard types. These cylinders are integral to cartoning, filling, and sealing stations, helping to streamline packaging operations and improve throughput.
For material handling applications, NSS compact cylinders are ideal, especially when space is limited. They provide efficient clamping, ejecting, and positioning capabilities within tight spaces, contributing to optimized handling workflows.
Valve automation is enhanced through the use of cylinder actuation technologies, which are applied to gate valves, butterfly valves, and dampers. This automation facilitates precise control and operation of various valve types across different systems.
