When you need a reliable pneumatic cylinder for proximity sensing, turn to this double-acting, non-rotating flat cylinder from Festo. It has adjustable cushioning at both ends so you can save energy, reduce cycle times and keep your machinery running smoothly. A compact size with a 20mm bore and 25mm stroke makes it suitable for use in small spaces. It also helps with positioning, clamping and ejecting smaller components. The G1/8 pneumatic connection is compatible with a wide range of components and the unit can work at pressures of up to 10 bar, so it's a versatile option.

• Aluminium housing combines light weight with corrosion resistance
• Tough high-alloy steel piston rod
• Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPE-U) seals guard against leakage

• Factory automation
• Packaging
• Transport

In a double-acting cylinder, the air is forced into one port and out another. This pushes the rod back and forth.

Short-stroke cylinders are typically used in confined spaces when there's not a significant lateral load to be supported. They can usually be installed without any specific mounting accessories.
