When the job calls for smooth bidirectional piston movements in your pressurised network, pick this pneumatic cylinder from Festo. Its double-action mechanism means compressed media moves the 20mm-bore piston rod a distance of up to 50mm in both directions. You can trust it's up to the challenge of heavy-duty machinery, as it can shift up to 188.5N on its advance stroke and 158.3N on its return. The unit's self-adjusting PPS-type cushioning provides optimal end-range protection when it's running at high speeds and with substantial loads. This also means there's no need for manual modification.

• Standard G1/8 threaded ports give broad compatibility
• Works across an extensive temperature range of -20°C and +80°C, making it a great shout in challenging environments
• M8 piston rod thread lets you attach accessories for specialist applications

• Automotive manufacture
• Industrial automation
• Production lines

As this cylinder is made of hard-wearing steel and wrought aluminium alloy, you can rest assured it's a robust choice. These materials make it suitable for use in demanding settings and give it impact resistance and durability in the face of moderate corrosion stress.
