Use this double-acting pneumatic cylinder from Festo for pushing operations in mechanical and automation applications. It has a piston rod in a housing made of durable aluminium material that is reliably resistant to corrosion. For maximum efficiency, it has a port on each end to control the extension and retraction of the piston by alternating which opening receives the higher air pressure. You'll find this component used in applications that need to move a load in both directions, such as the opening and closing of a safety gate.

• Flexible cushioning rings at both ends to prevent noise and vibration from impact
• Broad operating temperature range from -20°C to +60°C for use in harsh environments
• Compatible with proximity sensors for precise automated action
• Compact, narrow design with a 50mm bore and 10mm stroke to fit into setups with limited space

• Material handling equipment
• Aerospace engineering
• Food processing

The cylinder is an energy-efficient device as it operates entirely on compressed air and uses minimal amounts of energy to lift and push loads.
