Use this flat pneumatic cylinder from Festo in automated position-sensing applications such as packaging machines. Its compact size makes it suitable for positioning smaller components. The unit provides a double-acting linear motion and uses hydraulic power to extend and retract. This allows for full control of movement in both directions. Its elastic cushioning rings help prevent mechanical shock and protect components from damage. As this unit is non-rotating, it keeps a load or equipment in the required position.
