|Air Cylinders

If cylinders with stable lubrication function and cylinders with the special order part number suffix “-XC92” (dust resistant) are both equipped with a Lube-retainer, how do I know which to choose?

Stable lubrication function: For fine powder (10 to 100 μm)
The number of cycles can be improved even when used in general environments. All dimensions and mounting are interchangeable with the standard product (excluding some models).

Special order part number suffix “-XC92”: For fine powder (30 μm or less)
These cylinders are ideal for use in environments where fine powders such as ceramic powder, toner powder, paper powder, and metal powder (excluding welding spatter) are airborne.

Since CQS and CQ2 series cylinders use a thick Lube-retainer, they have excellent lubricating performance and dust absorbing performance. MGP series cylinders also have a Lube-retainer on the guide part.
The catalog of cylinders with stable lubrication function (Lube-retainer) can be found here. And the catalog of dust-resistant cylinders (special order part number suffix “-XC92”) can be found here.
