This pneumatic compact cylinder from Festo moves compressed air in and out of its chamber to create linear motion in a machine. It works by using the force of the air to drive the piston rod back and forth. Integrated cushioning rings on both ends minimise the impact of the piston rod's movement and prevent wear. As the unit comes with a robust TPE-U seal, it helps prevent leakage in the system. A broad operating temperature range between -20°C and +80°C means you can safely use it in challenging environments.

• Operating pressure range between 1.5 and 10 bar for use in low-pressure systems
• Lubricated operation possible for increased efficiency
• High alloy steel piston rod for corrosion resistance
• Built-in guide rod with yoke helps protect cylinder from torque

• Packaging machinery
• Conveyor systems
• Medical technology
• Aviation engineering

Single-acting pneumatic cylinders feature one port through which compressed air moves. They typically come with a spring mechanism that returns the rod to its original position. Double-acting cylinders, like this one, feature two ports through which the air moves in and out to control the piston rod, eliminating the need for a spring reset.
