Key Features
- Compact XC series design optimized for space-constrained applications
- Parker Kuroda engineering for proven reliability and durability
- Standard Z3 pneumatic cylinder configuration for general-purpose industrial use
- Single-acting or double-acting operation (verify with documentation)
- ISO-standard construction for compatibility across equipment
- Suitable for manufacturing, assembly, packaging, and automation systems
Technical Specifications
Due to the specific variant encoding in the model number (XCHA7-12D-16-Z3), detailed specifications including bore size, stroke, port size, and pressure rating should be verified against Parker Kuroda’s official documentation or your system integrator before ordering. The model designation typically indicates:
- Series: XC (compact cylinder)
- Type: HA (standard pneumatic actuator)
- Bore: 12 mm (inferred from model designation)
- Stroke: 16 mm (inferred from model designation)
- Variant: Z3 (standard industrial model)
For exact pressure ratings, port threads, cushioning options, and mounting details, consult the manufacturer’s technical data sheet.
Typical Applications
- Robotic and automated assembly lines
- Packaging and material handling equipment
- Production machinery requiring compact linear actuation
- Industrial clamping and positioning systems
- Machine tool automation and control
- General-purpose pneumatic automation systems
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Standard pneumatic control systems operating at industrial pressure ranges (typically 0.5–1.0 MPa)
- ISO-standard pneumatic valve blocks and manifolds
- Parker and third-party pneumatic solenoid valves
- Industrial automation platforms and PLC systems
- Standard 5/2 and 3/2 solenoid valve configurations
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. The XCHA7-12D-16-Z3 designation is specific; other Parker Kuroda XC, SPCHA, or J1/K1 series cylinders with different bore or stroke sizes may not be direct drop-in replacements despite similar naming conventions.
Works With
- Parker Kuroda pneumatic valve systems and control manifolds
