When smooth machine movement is the name of the game, pick this pneumatic piston rod cylinder from Festo. Its hardwearing piston rod harnesses the power of compressed air to drive your industrial machines up to 200mm in a linear motion. Thanks to its mechanically robust construction, it can push with up to 188.5N of force on its outstroke and 158.3N on its instroke. This makes it a safe bet for heavy-duty equipment. As this is a double-action type, you'll find it handy for complex applications with machinery that operates in both directions.

• Built-in proximity sensor detects piston position to keep the cylinder working safely in range
• Works in any mounting position, making it a breeze to install
• Ambient temperature range of -20°C to +80°C for use in harsh industrial locations

• Mining
• Automotive manufacture
• Aircraft engineering

Adjustable pneumatic cushioning lets you adjust the level and position of cushioning to suit your needs. It creates an air cushion that's highly effective at absorbing impact energy in the piston's end positions, making the unit well-suited to handling heavy loads and high operating speeds.
