Component Specifications

Definition
A cylinder liner (in pneumatic applications) or motor housing (in electric applications) is a precision-engineered cylindrical component that serves as the primary structural enclosure. In pneumatic systems, it guides piston movement and contains compressed air; in electric motors, it houses stator windings, rotor assembly, and provides mounting interfaces while dissipating heat. It ensures proper alignment, minimizes friction, and maintains pressure/thermal integrity.
Working Principle
In pneumatic systems: The liner provides a smooth, wear-resistant surface for piston rings/seals to slide against, converting air pressure into linear motion while preventing leakage. In electric motors: The housing supports electromagnetic components, provides mechanical protection, facilitates cooling through fins or jackets, and aligns bearings for rotational motion.
Materials
Common materials include cast iron (gray or ductile), aluminum alloys (for lightweight applications), steel alloys (for high-pressure/temperature), and engineered polymers (for corrosion resistance). Specific grades: GG25 cast iron, AlSi10Mg aluminum, AISI 1045 steel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a cylinder liner and a motor housing?

Cylinder liners are used in pneumatic/hydraulic systems to guide pistons, while motor housings enclose electric motor components. Both provide structural support but differ in design for pressure containment vs. electromagnetic and thermal management.

How do I select the right material for a cylinder liner?

Consider operating pressure, temperature, wear resistance, and corrosion environment. Cast iron offers good wear resistance, aluminum reduces weight, and steel handles high pressures.

What maintenance is required for cylinder liners?

Regular inspection for wear/scoring, lubrication of inner surfaces, and checking seal integrity. Replace if wear exceeds tolerance or surface damage occurs.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
