Cushioned of Noncushioned

Cushioned and non-cushioned cylinders cater to different application needs based on the requirement for shock absorption and impact reduction. Cushioned cylinders are equipped with internal cushioning mechanisms that gradually decelerate the piston towards the end of the stroke, reducing impact forces and protecting both the cylinder and the load from excessive shock. This feature is crucial in applications where smooth operation and longevity of components are important, such as in high-speed or high-frequency operations.

In contrast, non-cushioned cylinders operate without any internal damping, offering a more straightforward and cost-effective solution for applications where impact and shock absorption are not critical. While non-cushioned cylinders may be less complex and less expensive, they are suited for applications where the load and operating conditions do not require additional cushioning. The choice between cushioned and non-cushioned cylinders depends on the specific demands of the application and the desired balance between performance and cost.
