What is the difference between thick and thin cylinder?

Cylinders play a crucial role in various industries, and understanding the difference between thick and thin cylinders is essential. Zhejiang Bailing Pneumatic Technology Co., Ltd. is a prominent player in the pneumatic components manufacturing field, with a particular focus on cylinders.

Thin cylinders, as defined by a wall thickness less than 1/20 of their internal diameter, are suitable for applications where the pressure requirements are relatively low. For example, in some light – duty industrial automation processes, Bailing’s thin – walled cylinders can be used to provide smooth and efficient linear motion. They are often used in packaging machinery for tasks like pushing products into boxes or adjusting the position of components with a relatively small force. On the other hand, thick cylinders, with a wall thickness of 1/20 or more of their internal diameter, are engineered to withstand high – pressure environments. In heavy – duty industrial applications such as hydraulic presses or high – pressure fluid transportation systems, Bailing’s thick cylinders prove to be reliable. They can safely handle the internal and external pressures involved in transporting materials like oil, petroleum, and dense gases, and are also applicable in nuclear power plants for carrying fuels and radioactive materials.
