Use this pneumatic cylinder from Festo for automated material-handling processes in commercial and industrial environments. It works by using compressed air to create linear forward and reverse motion – use it with a proximity sensor to ensure accurate movement. The unit's piston rod and cylinder barrel are made of high-alloy steel, which is durable and non-corrosive, so it won't rust and can resist the elements. With a high operating pressure limit of 10 bar, this is a suitable option for heavy-duty industrial operations such as clamping, lifting and stopping.

• Can be assembled in any position to suit your design specifications
• Flexible cushioning rings at both ends to reduce noise and vibration
• Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) protective seals to prevent air leakage and optimise performance
• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C for use in harsh environments

• Industrial automation
• Process and packaging applications
• Assembly lines

A common cause of failure in cylinders like this one is a seal leak. This could stem from improper installation, excessive heat or physical damage. It's important to change the seal immediately if you notice a leak.
