Camozzi Series 61 Pneumatic Cylinder

Overview

Camozzi Series 61 aluminium-profile pneumatic cylinders are the workhorse actuators behind Camozzi’s automation portfolio, built to the ISO 15552 (VDMA 24562) international standard so they drop directly into existing machine designs without redesigning mounting interfaces. Manufactured from anodized aluminium profile tube with rolled stainless steel piston rods, the Series 61 line spans seven bore sizes from 32 mm to 125 mm and strokes from 10 mm up to 2,500 mm, covering everything from compact packaging stations to long-travel material-handling axes.

With engineering support in Muscat, Seven Star LLC supplies the Series 61 cylinder family — along with the full Camozzi pneumatic automation range — to industrial facilities across Oman and the Sultanate, with manufacturer documentation and local technical support.

Operating Principle

The Camozzi Series 61 cylinder converts compressed air energy into linear mechanical force through a piston sliding inside a precision-honed aluminium bore. Compressed air admitted to one side of the piston drives it toward the opposite end, extending or retracting the rolled stainless steel rod; adjustable pneumatic end-of-stroke cushioning absorbs kinetic energy at both travel limits, protecting the internal end caps from repeated impact during high-cycle operation. A permanent magnet integrated into the piston allows external proximity switches to sense rod position without any mechanical penetration of the cylinder bore, preserving the pressure seal.

Because the entire actuation mechanism relies on clean, filtered compressed air rather than hydraulic fluid, the Series 61 introduces no contamination risk to the surrounding process and requires no fluid reservoir or return lines. The practical consequence for plant engineers is a lighter, simpler installation with fewer failure points: no seals to leak process fluid, no pressure drop across long piping runs when properly sized, and cushioning that is field-adjustable without disassembling the cylinder.

Engineering Design of the Camozzi Series 61

Physically, the Camozzi Series 61 is built around an extruded and anodized aluminium profile tube, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance in industrial atmospheres. The standard piston rod is rolled stainless steel AISI 420B, with an optional chrome-plated variant for applications exposed to higher humidity or mild chemical contact; end-blocks and pistons are aluminium, while tie-rods are zinc-plated steel for through-bolt mounting configurations. The tie-rod construction allows the profile tube to be replaced independently of the end caps, simplifying long-term field maintenance.

Mounting flexibility is a defining feature of the design: Camozzi offers foot mounts, front and rear flanges, female and male trunnions, center trunnions, and ball-joint assemblies, allowing the same cylinder body to be adapted to nearly any machine-frame geometry without custom brackets. Optional low-friction piston seals reduce starting friction by more than 40%, benefiting slow-speed or precision positioning tasks, while a tandem variant doubles the effective piston area within the same bore diameter for applications needing higher thrust in a space-constrained envelope.

Key Features

As a genuine Camozzi Series 61 unit, the Camozzi Series 61 pneumatic cylinder delivers a combination of standardization, durability, and configurability that suits both OEM machine builders and plant maintenance teams:

• Built to the ISO 15552 (VDMA 24562) standard for direct interchangeability with other compliant cylinders across brands.
• Available in seven bore sizes (32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, and 125 mm) and strokes from 10 mm to 2,500 mm to match nearly any linear motion requirement.
• Rolled stainless steel AISI 420B piston rod as standard, with an optional chrome-plated rod for corrosive or humid environments.
• Adjustable pneumatic end-stroke cushioning combined with mechanical shock absorption extends service life under repeated high-cycle operation.
• Integrated permanent-magnet piston enables non-invasive position sensing with externally mounted proximity switches.
• ATEX-approved variants are available for use in classified hazardous zones found in oil, gas, and chemical facilities.
• Low-friction piston seal option cuts starting friction by over 40% for smoother, more precise motion control.
• Multiple mounting configurations — foot, flange, trunnion, and ball-joint — eliminate the need for custom adapter brackets.

Industrial Applications

Across Oman’s growing industrial base, the Camozzi Series 61 is specified wherever repeatable, high-cycle linear actuation is required under real plant conditions. Packaging and bottling lines in Muscat’s food and beverage sector use these cylinders for carton erecting, capping, and case-sealing stations, where the ISO-standard mounting envelope lets integrators swap components without re-engineering the machine frame. In material handling and conveyor transfer systems, the cylinder’s magnetic piston and adjustable cushioning support precise, repeatable stroke cycles across multi-shift production schedules.

Backed by manufacturer datasheet documentation, Seven Star LLC distributes the Series 61 line to process and manufacturing facilities throughout the Sohar and Salalah free zones and the wider GCC, where petrochemical, cement, and desalination plants rely on ATEX-rated pneumatic actuators for valve operation, gate control, and general automation tasks in classified areas. The combination of lead time confirmed at quotation and technical support with selection helps these facilities plan commissioning and reduce unplanned downtime risk.
