This double-acting pneumatic cylinder from Festo lets you accurately perform driving and guiding applications. It's a high-performance unit that can achieve a stroke length of up to 200 mm, so it's suitable for heavy-duty lifting. It can also reliably stop heavy loads of up to 150kg. It's compatible with proximity sensors to provide precise movement and flow control valves to regulate its speed. The steel pistons and wrought-aluminium housing material ensure excellent resistance to wear and corrosion, so you can use this component in tough industrial environments.
