This Festo pneumatic round line cylinder is a crucial component that ensures the proper functioning of your automation and mechanical processes. It's a double-acting component consisting of enclosed pistons that force air in and out through different ports to generate linear motion, which operates equipment. For maximum efficiency, the opening receiving the highest pressure is alternated by controlled extension and retraction. Adjustable end-position cushioning decelerates the piston and rod when they reach the end of the cylinder to reduce internal impact force and enable higher piston speeds.

• Operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C for use in harsh ambient conditions
• Operating pressure of up to 10 bar suited to heavy-duty applications
• Cylinder barrel made from robust high alloy steel for long-lasting performance

• Automated gates
• Safety barriers and booms
• Packaging machinery
• Factory automation processes

Pneumatic cylinders come in two primary options. The standard version can be mounted on moving machine parts for assembly and clamping without the need for modifications. Piston rod versions, like this one from Festo, have retractable pistons and pneumatic cushioning for smoother and more controlled movements.
