ASCO RODLESS CYLINDERS ˜ 6 to 40 mm - double acting linear drive with magnetic coupling with guided carrier with or without shock absorber, Series 445, Type STG

Part Number : RODLESS CYLINDERS Ø 6 to 40 mm/Series 445/Type STG

Part No. Series 445 STG

The ASCO Series 445 Type STG is a double-acting rodless pneumatic cylinder with magnetic coupling and a guided carrier. Available across a 6 to 40 mm bore range, it is designed for linear motion applications where long strokes need to fit into a compact machine footprint. Versions are available with or without shock absorbers. Genuine ASCO cylinder, supplied in the UAE by General Tech Services LLC. Pricing is quote-based.

Unlike conventional rod-type cylinders, the Series 445 moves the load along the cylinder body instead of using an extending piston rod. This can save installation space, particularly in long-stroke automation axes.

The magnetic coupling uses an internal piston to drive the external carrier through the sealed cylinder tube. The guided carrier provides support for mounted tooling and helps handle loads and torque. The Series 445 Type STG is double acting, allowing controlled movement in both directions.

Configurations with shock absorbers can provide controlled end-of-stroke deceleration. When specifying the cylinder, consider the required bore, stroke, load, operating speed, working pressure and whether shock absorbers are required.

How to Install & Use It

  1. Determine the required bore, stroke, load, speed and working pressure.

  2. Select the appropriate Series 445 Type STG configuration, including whether shock absorbers are required.

  3. Secure the cylinder body to the machine structure using suitable mounting hardware.

  4. Mount the tooling or load to the guided external carrier within the applicable load limits.

  5. Connect clean, dry, filtered compressed air to the cylinder.

  6. Set the operating speed and verify end-of-stroke damping before running the machine at full cycle rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ASCO Series 445 Type STG?
It is a double-acting rodless pneumatic cylinder with magnetic coupling and a guided carrier, available in 6 to 40 mm bore sizes.

How does a rodless cylinder work?
Instead of extending a piston rod, the internal piston moves inside the cylinder while magnetic coupling transfers its motion to an external carrier that travels along the cylinder body.

What bore sizes are available?
The Series 445 Type STG covers bore sizes from 6 to 40 mm.

What is the benefit of the magnetic coupling?
The magnetic coupling transfers the internal piston movement to the external carrier without requiring a conventional extending piston rod. The sealed tube design supports the rodless configuration.

Is the Series 445 Type STG double acting?
Yes. The cylinder uses compressed air to provide controlled movement in both directions.

Do I need shock absorbers?
The Series 445 Type STG is available with or without shock absorbers. The appropriate configuration depends on the load, speed and end-of-stroke requirements of the application.

How do I choose the correct Series 445 cylinder?
Specify the required bore, stroke, load, speed, working pressure and carrier configuration. Also confirm whether shock absorbers are required. Send your application details to General Tech Services LLC for configuration confirmation.

What type of compressed air does it need?
Use clean, dry and filtered compressed air. If lubrication is introduced, maintain it consistently according to the applicable cylinder requirements.

Is there a rotary alternative?
ASCO Series 429 rotatable cylinders are available for applications requiring rotary movement. Contact General Tech Services LLC for compatibility and pricing.
