This roundline cylinder from Festo provides linear motion in automation systems. It's well-suited for pick-and-place and open/close functions for small loads at low speeds. Both the rod and barrel are constructed from high-alloy stainless steel, so you can be confident of a long service life. Elastomer cushioning on either end quickly and effectively reduces impact forces when the cylinder rod reaches the end position. Because it's a double-acting cylinder, you can use it with machinery that needs more than one movement. This also lets it extend and retract without needing a spring.

• No adjustment needed for cushioning
• Flexible installation options
• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C, for use in tough industrial settings
• Supplied with standard M5 pneumatic connections, so it's easy to fit into modular systems

• Construction sector
• Manufacturing
• Food processing lines

This unit uses plain anodised wrought aluminium alloy, which is lightweight and moderately corrosion-resistant.

Yes, the piston rod is magnetic, so it can be used for position-sensing.
