Use this Festo pneumatic cylinder for double-action extension and retraction without a spring. This allows for more efficient and precise movement. The unit features adjustable pneumatic cushioning at both ends and is made from a non-corrosive high-alloy steel material that's durable and offers reliable performance. Its male-thread end mounts easily to a female-end piston rod without the need for any additional mounting components. It's a smart choice for controlling proximity sensors and similar light industrial applications.

• Standard bore size of 25mm fits a range of piston rods
• 500mm stroke for reliable power
• Operates under pressures of up to 10 bar for versatile industrial use

• Steam turbines
• Compressors
• Aviation safety
• Conveyor systems

Single-acting cylinders have only one port where pressurized air can enter, creating force in one direction that extends the piston. This is a simple, cost-effective design. A double-acting cylinder includes two ports for compressed air, which allows the piston to move in two directions. This creates a more efficient and faster operation.
