For precise linear and rotary motion in your automated machinery, choose this pneumatic compact cylinder from Festo. It works by using the force of compressed air to control the movement of the piston rod. Robust cushioning at both ends of the unit help absorb the impact on its rod and minimise wear. Thanks to a wide operating temperature range between -20°C and +80°C, it can withstand harsh environments. Built-in seals are on hand to help prevent leakage in the system and, as they're made from tough TPE-U, deliver thermal resistance and durability.

• Broad operating pressure range between 0.6 and 10 bar for use in low-pressure applications
• Can be lubricated for higher efficiency
• Piston rod is made from durable high alloy steel that resists corrosion

• Food production and packaging
• Hydraulic equipment
• Chemical plants
• Conveyor belts

Single-acting cylinders come with just one port through through which compressed air flows to drive the piston rod. They typically feature a spring mechanism that returns the rod to its resting state. Double-acting cylinders like this one have two ports, enabling air to move in and out and drive the piston rod from end to end.
