SMC has designed a series of stainless steel cylinders that can be used with utmost confidence in the food and beverage industry. The CG5-S and CJ5-S series of stainless steel cylinders are perfect for use in food and beverage processing machinery that requires regular and intense cleaning. Both cylinder series make use of non-toxic additives which reduce the risk of contamination. The bracket surfaces that are used to mount these cylinders are electro-polished to make them smoother so that the build-up of liquids and foreign matter can be prevented.
The Series CG5-S cylinder is available in bore sizes from 20 to 100 mm, and has plugs for unused mounting threads to prevent residue build-up in the threads. The use of stainless steel (SUS304) on external metal parts provides improved corrosion resistance in environments with exposure to water.
The Series CJ5-S is the small bore version, available in 10 mm and 16 mm bore sizes, and is designed for use in environments with water spray, such as food processing machines. Both cylinders have a scraper that has been specifically designed to prevent water from entering the cylinder, which can increase the service life by up to five times when compared to conventional cylinders.
Notably, the service life of both the CG5-S and CJ5-S cylinders can be extended as they are designed to be easily disassembled to allow for the replacement of seals.
