Do you need a device to drive motion using pneumatic energy? Choose this double-acting pneumatic cylinder from Festo. It's designed to turn signals from an actuator into linear motion. When compressed air enters its barrel through the cap-end port, the 160mm-wide piston travels to the other end. This causes the tie rod to extend by up to 250mm, before airflow into the rod-end port makes it retract again. The piston's seals are made from nitrile rubber for resistance to abrasion and to prevent leakage.

• Broad operating temperature range between -20°C and +80°C for reliable performance in demanding conditions
• Die-cast aluminium piston is lightweight to limit strain on your system
• High-alloy steel tie rod for resistance to corrosion in damp conditions

• Manufacturing industry
• Main engine control systems
• Automotive sector

With its rod retracted, this cylinder weighs 11.751kg. For every 10mm of extension, this weight increases by 97g.

This cylinder has a wide operating pressure range between 0.6 and 10 bar, so it's a versatile option.
