Push your machine into action with this pneumatic piston rod cylinder from Festo. It's double acting, meaning you have control over the advancing and retracting stroke of the piston rod. The rod is magnetic to make accurate position detection a doddle, so you can precisely move and place objects. As accuracy is always a priority, there's adjustable air cushioning at both ends that lets you tweak the unit to suit your application. It takes the strain of pressures up to 12 bar, meaning this is a compatible option for use with low-power and high-power systems.

• Mounts in any position for flexibility
• Works with lubricated or unlubricated systems for versatility
• Wide operating temperature range between -20°C and +80°C suits use in extreme settings
• High-alloy steel rod and anodised wrought-aluminium barrel give it strength and corrosion resistance

The unit is widely compatible with SDBT series proximity sensors from Festo.
