Set your machine moving in a linear direction with this pneumatic guided cylinder from Festo. It has a double-acting function, which means there's an open port at each end to let air in and out. This pushes the piston rod back and forth, eliminating the need for a spring-return mechanism and boosting accuracy. The high-alloy steel construction of the rod delivers protection from corrosion in harsh settings. You can use this handy cylinder for clamping, stopping and lifting tasks in your pneumatic system.

• Cushioning at both ends minimises noise, vibration and wear
• Can be installed in any position for versatility
• Hard-wearing wrought aluminium alloy housing withstands mechanical wear
• NBR seals resist oils and solvents for durability
• Pre-cut slots accommodate proximity sensors to track piston

• Marine engineering
• Medical devices
• Textile production
• Material handling
• Automated doors

It has a maximum operating speed of 0.8m/s, so you can expect rapid movement of the piston rod.

Yes, you can lubricate it to reduce the risk of friction. You must then lubricate it before each further operation.
