Review on πŸ’ͺ Enhance Efficiency with Sydien Pneumatic Cylinder Connector MAL16X200: A Reliable Solution by Kenny Hrdlicka

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Port sizes too small for this application

It took only a few minutes to realize that anything but very light finger tightening of the M5 connector plugs would cause the o-rings to bulge out instead to seal. There is also not enough room on the M5 threads to use Teflon tape. They only have 2-3 threads to screw into the cylinder. If the cylinder is finger tight and the cylinder is actuated several times it will unscrew the M5 connector from the cylinder rendering it unusable. Do yourself a favor and choose 1/4 or 1/8 NPT cylinders instead.

Pros
  • Pneumatic
Cons
  • Only available in black
