When you need a powerful but lightweight pneumatic cylinder for use in an industrial setting, choose this 200mm bore option from Festo. The double-action operation is fast, strong and energy-efficient, and the unit offers effective control over movement as air moves in both directions. For added control, you can manually fine-tune the degree of damping with an adjustment screw. Thanks to its tie-rod design and improved cover, this is the lightest large-diameter cylinder in its class. It comes complete with PPV cushioning at both ends to prevent overloading.

• Wide operating temperature range between -20°C and +80°C for use in challenging environments
• Die-cast aluminium cover delivers high strength without adding much weight

• Machine building
• Mining
• Process automation

Pneumatic cylinders are cleaner. Since they use air as their operating medium, there's no contamination of the surrounding environment in the event of a leak. Storage requirements for compressed air are also significantly lower than for hydraulic fluids. Since air encounters less resistance than oil, energy loss is lower in a pneumatic cylinder than in a hydraulic alternative.
