This double-acting pneumatic profile cylinder from Festo ensures the proper functioning of your automation and mechanical processes. A high-alloy steel rod and wrought-aluminium cylinder barrel resist corrosion to extend the lifespan of the component. Ports on each end effectively control extension and retraction by alternating actions based on the highest air pressure to establish optimal efficiency. Variable end-position cushioning decelerates the rod and piston at the end of the cylinder to lower the internal impact force and establish higher piston speeds.

• Stroke length of 100mm delivers extended thrust
• Advanced stroke force of 754N at 6 bar pressure makes the cylinder suitable for heavy-duty applications
• Wide operating temperatures of -20°C to +80°C for use in harsh conditions

• Automotive industry
• Aerospace applications
• Food processing equipment

A double-acting pneumatic cylinder handles pressurised gas, air and fluids at both ends of the piston to create extension and retraction forces and deliver reliable control over the piston and overall movements.

In a double-acting cylinder, one port allows the hydraulic fluid, gas or air to enter the barrel, causing piston extension, while the other port retracts the cylinder to establish linear motion.
