OBSOLETE: Pneumatic Compact Cylinder - P1Q Series (Economy)

Parker's P1Q series cylinders provide an economical, compact design suited for a variety of applications. With its modular flexibility, the P1Q will provide the ideal solution machine builders need today. The P1Q series is available in 10 bore sizes from Ø12 mm to Ø100 mm and standard strokes from 5 mm to 100 mm. The cylinder is supplied in a choice of magnetic or non-magnetic function, the non-magnetic version offers very short axial dimensions. For optimum compactness the P1Q range is supplied with female piston rod thread.

The P1Q provides quieter operation due to its built in buffer cushioning which is standard on all bore sizes. Included within the magnetic versions bores 32 - 100mm is a teflon piston wear ring providing superior life. In addition to the compactness and modular design flexibility of P1Q are a range of cylinder mountings including flange, foot and clevis brackets to ease installation.

General Technical Data:
• International standards : complies with ISO 15524 (Excludes bores Ø12 and Ø16)
• Bore Sizes : Ø12, Ø16, Ø20, Ø25, Ø32, Ø40, Ø50, Ø63, Ø80 and Ø100mm
• Stroke Length : 5 to 100mm (standard strokes only)
• Versions : double acting
• Cushioning : rubber buffer fixed
• Position Sensing : Magnetic cylinders are suitable for proximity position sensing within the integrated sensor grooves allowing for compact installation. For 12mm and 16mm bores the sensors can be mounted on 3 sides and for 20mm to 100mm bores on four sides for flexible mounting and ease of installation. Electronic type sensors or reed switches are available with either flying lead or M8 cable plug connector.   
• Installation : Directly via through holes or female threaded holes on the front and rear face. Supported by a  range of cylinder mountings including flange, foot and clevis brackets to ease installation.  

Operating and Environmental Data:  
• Operating Medium : for best possible service life and trouble-free operation dry, filtered compressed air to ISO 8573-1:2010 quality class 3.4.3 should be used. This specifies a dew point of +3°C for indoor operation (a lower dew point should be selected for minus temperature operation and we recommend the use of an inline dryer) and is in line with the air quality from most standard compressors with a standard filter.  
• Operating Pressure : 0.5 to 10 Bar Maximum  
• Operating Temperature : -5°C to +60°C (standard  temperature)
• Pre-lubricated : further lubrication is normally not necessary. If additional lubrication is introduced it must be continued.  
• Corrosion Resistance : high resistance to corrosion and chemicals. Materials and surface treatment have been selected for industrial applications where solvents and detergents are frequently used.
