Pair up this pneumatic cylinder from Festo with a proximity sensor (such as 253-9247) for spot-on positioning tasks. It's ideal for automated industrial equipment as it's designed to precisely and repeatedly place small components. To keep equipment running efficiently, the device's cushioning minimises vibration, shock and oscillation. The double-acting unit uses compressed air to extend and retract its piston, giving you the benefit of complete control over its movement. With flexible cushioning rings, this pneumatic cylinder is ideally suited to low-speed applications and small loads.

• Standard metric mounting dimensions, so you can assemble it in any position
• Wide operating pressure range between 1 and 10 bar for versatility
• Compact length of 182mm and diameter of 27mm to keep the design of equipment compact and efficient
• High-alloy steel rod and barrel resists corrosion and chemicals for longevity

• Paper and pulp mills
• Automated assembly lines
• Oil and gas industries

The component is double acting with dual connection ports, so it uses compressed air to move both forwards and backwards. As there are no mechanical parts such as springs, there's hardly any need for maintenance.
