This pneumatic cylinder from Festo provides a compact solution for applications that prioritise space management. It has a port at each of its ends and moves its piston forward and backwards by alternating which port receives the compressed air. The guide rod with a yoke plate protects the piston against rotation and ensures safe operation. This cylinder has flexible cushioning rings at both ends to prevent the piston from breaking the cylinder barrel, providing an extended lifespan. It's useful for a variety of light-duty industrial applications.

• Wrought-aluminium-alloy barrel for corrosion resistance and long-term reliability
• Durable thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) seals to block leakage and ensure optimal pneumatic performance
• Can be assembled in any direction for design flexibility
• Compatible with proximity sensors for automated operation

• Material testing laboratories
• Prototyping facilities
• Small automotives

This component is a double-acting cylinder so it's capable of stopping mid-stroke. If you're using it for a high accuracy application, you can use a position feedback detector or sensor for precise positioning.
