Going back and forth on which component is best for your automated system? Pick this pneumatic guided cylinder from Festo to get your push and pull jobs done. It combines a drive unit with a strong and stable sliding guide that tackles heavy loads of up to 1227N. As it works under high pressures of up to 10 bar without buckling, it's a versatile option. Thanks to the unit's maximum speed 0.8m/s and torque-resistant aluminium construction, you can be sure tasks like positioning, lifting or stopping are done quickly and accurately.

• Robust NBR seals stop dirt in its tracks to reduce the risk of damage
• Standard G1/8 thread screws quickly into your existing setup
• High alloy steel piston is non-corroding, allowing for long-lasting use

• Conveyor systems
• Packaging facilities
• Pharmaceutical industry

Add the SMT (121-5836) or SDBT proximity switch (259-5717) to keep an eye on the position of this unit.

Double-acting cylinders use compressed air to drive their pistons back and forth, rather than relying on a spring to reset them to the start position. This is ideal for systems where you need two-way control, such as lifting and lowering.
