This double-acting pneumatic cylinder from Festo is an essential component of position monitoring and automation systems. It consists of a piston rod made of high-alloy steel for durability and corrosion resistance, so it won't rust. It has a port on each end – these regulate how the piston extends and retracts by alternating the opening that receives the higher air pressure. To ensure it runs smoothly, the cylinder is cushioned at both ends with polyphenylene vinylene (PPV) material, which prevents vibration from the piston strokes and reduces noise.

• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C for use in harsh conditions
• Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) seals to prevent air leakages for optimal performance
• Compatible with proximity sensors for accurate position sensing
• 10 bar operating pressure for heavy-duty applications

• Food and beverage processing
• Automotive industries
• Chemical processing plants

Yes. Lubricated operation is possible but must be sustained for subsequent use.

This cylinder has an advance stroke force of 482.5N at 6 bar pressure. This makes it suitable for small-scale and medium-scale applications.
