Push through demanding sorting tasks with this pneumatic piston rod cylinder from IMI Norgren. It's double-acting, so uses air to extend and retract, measuring out every stroke for precise system control. Thanks to self-adjusting cushioning, impact forces are safely dampened to minimise the risk of damage. Low-friction PUR seals are on hand to dial down disruptive operating noise and boost workplace comfort. Fitting the unit together with existing equipment is no problem, thanks to its standard M10x1.25 piston rod thread.

• Slim dimensions of 145.5 (L) x 47 (W) x 47mm (H) to use up little space
• Long stroke length of 250mm to deliver a broad range of motion
• Corrosion-resistant aluminium housing stays strong in damp conditions
• Works with clean, filtered and lubricated compressed air, so it's a versatile option

• Textile manufacturing
• Recycling centres
• Industrial safety devices

Single-acting cylinders take in air to extend and use a spring to retract their piston rods. On the other hand, double-acting models like this unit use air to push and pull, providing more accurate control over movement in both directions.
