This technical guide introduces booster cylinders, core pneumatic execution components manufactured by Ningbo Dongchao Automatic Equipment Co., Ltd. Established in 2011, we are a professional producer of pneumatic and hydraulic components, with 30% of our business serving global export markets . Our booster cylinders solve key industry pain points including insufficient thrust of standard cylinders, unstable performance in harsh environments, and long lead times for custom solutions. We use imported PARKER seals and precision CNC machining, with products widely applied in automation, rail transit, environmental protection, and engineering machinery sectors . We support custom designs for special working conditions and provide full compliance documents for global market access.
Technical Definition
A booster cylinder is a pneumatic execution component that amplifies input air pressure to deliver higher thrust than standard cylinders, based on the pressure area difference principle. It is a critical power source for industrial systems requiring high output force within limited installation space .
Product Classifications
Our booster cylinders are available in three main series, with custom options for special scenarios:
1. Standard series: SC/SU, SI, DNC models for general industrial automation, with reliable performance and cost efficiency.
2. Stainless steel series: DSN, MA, CM2 models for humid, corrosive, or food/pharmaceutical environments, with 304/316/316L bodies.
3. Custom series: Non-standard models for shoe, textile, packaging, and cement processing industries, tailored to specific requirements .
Working Principle
Our booster cylinders operate on the pressure area difference principle. Compressed air enters the cylinder and acts on pistons of varying cross-sectional areas, amplifying output force according to the area ratio. The process follows three steps: input of compressed air (0.1-1.0 MPa for standard models), force amplification via the large-area piston, and output of amplified thrust to the connected load . We use a modular design with precision piston assemblies and premium seals to reduce leakage and improve stability .
Technical Parameters
All parameters are tested under standardized industrial conditions, with strict tolerance control. We provide full test reports for each batch and support third-party testing .
Category | Parameter | Standard Specification | Selection Reference |
|---|---|---|---|

Environment | Operating temperature | -20℃ to 80℃ (standard), up to 250℃ (custom) | Custom ratings for extreme conditions |
Core Advantages
Compared with conventional booster cylinders, our products offer two key differentiated advantages:
1. Harsh environment adaptability: We offer stainless steel bodies and high-temperature seals, suitable for corrosive, dust-laden, or sterile environments where standard cylinders cannot operate reliably. This reduces equipment modification costs and ensures stable performance for clients .
2. Flexible customization: Our in-house production facility and direct sales model support fast custom design for special industry requirements, cutting lead times compared to trading companies. This helps clients accelerate project rollout and avoid performance mismatch from off-the-shelf products .
Application Scenarios
Our booster cylinders are widely used in two core sectors:
1. Industrial automation: Standard and custom models for assembly lines, material handling, and packaging equipment, improving production efficiency and reducing manual intervention.
2. Food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries: 316L stainless steel models with PTFE seals for processing lines, filling equipment, and dosing systems, meeting hygiene and corrosion resistance requirements .
Selection Guide
To select the right booster cylinder, follow these steps:
1. Confirm working conditions: Medium type, pressure range, required thrust, temperature, and installation space.
2. Choose the appropriate series: Standard for general use, stainless steel for corrosive/sterile environments, custom for special requirements.
3. Verify feasibility: We provide free sample testing for complex scenarios, with technical engineer support.
4. Confirm compliance: We provide required documents for global market access as per client needs .
