To get a steady grip on objects moving sideways, turn to this pneumatic guided cylinder from Festo. It's double acting, which means that it lets air in and out to extend and retract the piston rod, ensuring movement is smooth and consistent. Thanks to a maximum speed of 0.8m/s, you can rest assured that this unit gets the job done quickly. Integral plain-bearing guides evenly spread the force to keep the object steady. Thanks to its tough wrought aluminium housing, this cylinder stands up to impacts and corrosion.

• Piston rod is made from rugged stainless steel that withstands corrosion
• Flexible cushioning rings absorb impacts to reduce noise
• Air supply ports on top and side for flexible mounting in any position

• Mining and quarrying industry
• Power stations
• Packaging facilities

As it has a broad operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C, you can safely use this cylinder in challenging environments.

This cylinder comes with pre-cut mounting holes in its body, so you can fit a proximity sensor to monitor the rod's position.
