    About Air Cylinders
    industrial info icon

    Select a cylinder, prolong its life by reducing wear, and trigger automated processes with sensors.

    Double-Acting Round Body Air Cylinders

    Push and pull light duty loads. These air cylinders use compressed air to both extend and retract, so they operate at nearly full force in either direction. They have a round body—the most common style of air cylinder—making them more compact and better suited for tight spaces than cylinders with external tie rods.
    Instead of attaching your round body air cylinder directly to equipment, add a mount to best suit your application.
    Universal Mount
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Air Cylinders. Double-Acting Round Body Air Cylinders, Universal Mount.
    Universal-mount cylinders have mounting threads on both ends. The back end has a pivot bushing, which allows for more mounting options than nose-mount cylinders.
    Sensor Ready—Sensor-ready cylinders have a magnetic piston that can activate relays and controllers when used with a sensor (sold separately). When the piston moves past the sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—attach one for each action to trigger.
    Adjustable Cushion—Cylinders with an adjustable cushion absorb piston impact to minimize wear and noise. Turn the screws to adjust the level of cushioning.

    Flexible-Mount ISO Air Cylinders

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Air Cylinders. Flexible-Mount ISO Air Cylinders.
    For multiple mounting options, these air cylinders match an industry standard ISO footprint and have threaded holes on the face and sides. Their ISO footprint makes it easy to change out an old air cylinder. To mount them directly to equipment or add on attachments, use the threaded through holes. These cylinders are double acting, so they push and pull loads with equal force.
    The piston is magnetic, so you can use these cylinders with sensors (not included) to activate relays and controllers. When the piston moves past a sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—one for each action you want to trigger.

    Clean Room Flexible-Mount Air Cylinders

    Mount these cylinders directly to equipment in environments where contamination is a concern, such as electronics manufacturing. Use the threaded through-holes on the face to connect to equipment, or mount them with attachments (not included). Hook these cylinders into your compressed air line to push and pull loads. They’re double-acting, so they operate at full force in either direction. The magnetic piston inside these cylinders can activate relays and controllers when used with a sensor (not included). As the piston moves past the sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—attach one for each action you want to trigger.
    Connect mounts to an air cylinder to create linear, pivot, or arc movements.
    Sensor ReadyAbout Sensor Ready
    Fed. Std. Class 1,000 and ISO Class 6—Cylinders that are rated for use in Fed. Std. Class 1,000 and ISO Class 6 clean rooms have a low-friction polyurethane seal that wears slower and creates fewer particles than standard seals. As the rod moves, the seal wipes its surface clean of grease particles. The end caps are tightly crimped to stop air from leaking out. These cylinders have an ISO industry-standard footprint that fits common mounting patterns.

    Clean Room Round Body Air Cylinders

    Minimize the release of particles that can damage electronics or contaminate batches as you push and pull light loads. These air cylinders are designed with seals and caps that prevent particles from escaping. A rod seal wipes grease particles off the rod as it moves back and forth. The seal is polyurethane, which is slippery, so it wears more slowly than standard seals, releasing fewer particles. These cylinders also have tightly crimped end caps to stop air from leaking.
    With no tie rods on the outside, these round-body cylinders fit in tight spaces. They have an ISO industry-standard footprint that fits common mounting patterns for easy interchangeability. As universal-mount cylinders, they have mounting threads on both ends, giving you more mounting options than nose-mount cylinders. You can also pivot mount them with the through-hole on the back. They’re double acting, meaning they push and pull loads with equal force.
    The piston is magnetic, so you can use these cylinders with sensors (sold separately) to activate relays and controllers. When the piston moves past a sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—one for each action you want to trigger.
    Instead of attaching your round body air cylinder directly to equipment, add a mount to best suit your application.

    Push and pull light duty loads in areas constantly exposed to dust and powders as fine as flour. With lubricant retainers around their piston to block particles, these cylinders last up to four times longer in dusty environments than standard air cylinders. They’re often used in ceramics and paper manufacturing facilities. These air cylinders use compressed air to both extend and retract, so they operate at nearly full force in either direction. They have a round body—the most common style of air cylinder—making them more compact and better suited for tight spaces than cylinders with external tie rods. All are universal mount, so they have threads on both ends. The back end has a pivot bushing, which allows for more mounting options than nose-mount cylinders.

    Prevent dust and fine particles from contaminating your clean room or damaging sensitive electronics while moving grippers and other pick-and-place equipment. These air slides have a port that connects to a vacuum or exhaust system to remove particles created by friction inside the slide before they contaminate your space. The guide rods keep the head from twisting as it extends and retracts for steadier motion than air cylinders. These air slides also have a larger mounting surface area compared to air cylinders, so you can mount or push larger items at the end of the slide.
    The piston is magnetic, so you can use these slides with sensors (sold separately) to activate relays and controllers. When the piston moves past a sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—one for each action you want to trigger.

    With an integrated valve and multiple mounting options, these air cylinders install quickly, right where you need them, to push and pull light loads. In addition to saving you setup time, the built-in valve reduces the number of air connection points in your system to cut down on air loss. They have threaded holes on the face and sides for mounting either directly to equipment or using attachments. These air cylinders are double acting, meaning they extend and retract with nearly equal force.
    The magnetic piston inside these cylinders can activate relays and controllers when used with a sensor (sold separately). When the piston moves past the sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—attach one for each action to trigger.

    Vacuum Lifting Air Cylinders

    Combine the lifting power of a vacuum with the actuation of an air cylinder to automate processes such as pick and place. With a hollow rod that’s threaded to connect to a vacuum pad, these cylinders let you move items with suction. They’re double acting, meaning they pull loads as well as push them, and do so with equal force. Mount them directly to equipment or with attachments (not included) using the threaded through-holes on the face and sides of the body.
    The piston is magnetic, so you can use these cylinders with sensors (not included) to activate relays and controllers. When the piston moves past a sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—one for each action you want to trigger.

    25 mm Bore

    Clamp items in place to complete a step in your manufacturing process. These air cylinders rotate while actuating, so you can position, assemble, and inspect items. The body of these air cylinders has threaded through-holes on the face and sides, so you can mount them directly to equipment and thread accessories on. The rod is internally threaded, allowing you to attach an arm as needed for your application.
    The piston is magnetic, so you can use these slides with sensors (not included) to activate relays and controllers. When the piston moves past a sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—one for each action you want to trigger.

    Double-Ended Air Slides

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Air Slides. Double-Ended Air Slides.
    Push one object while pulling another—when one head on these air slides extends, the other retracts. Often used in pick-and-place systems across two surfaces, such as parallel conveyors, they can take the place of two standard air slides. With guide rods that keep the heads from twisting, they move more steadily than air cylinders. They also have a larger mounting area.
    The piston is magnetic, so you can use these slides with sensors (sold separately) to activate relays and controllers. When the piston moves past a sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—one for each action you want to trigger.

    Parts Metering Air Cylinders

    Space out parts on your conveyor line or vibratory feeder. Also known as escapements, these air cylinders have at least one finger that extends to hold parts and then retracts to release them. The fingers are built to withstand force from the side, so your part won’t slip past. All fingers have tapped holes on all five of their faces, so you can mount attachments to any side of them.
    Two Fingers

    Two-finger cylinders are good for precisely positioning items for sealing, labeling, and inspection. Operating on fixed timing and sequencing, they extend one finger to stop a part then extend the other finger to separate it. The two fingers hold the part like you would between your thumb and index finger. When the part is ready to be released, they retract the first finger while the other finger continues to hold back other parts. Lastly, they retract the other finger to let the next part through.

    Convenient for use with devices such as grippers and printing heads, these air slides have a nonrotating head that provides steady motion and a larger mounting area than air cylinders. Air slides have two guide rods parallel to the piston that keep the head from twisting as it extends and retracts.
    The magnetic piston inside these slides can activate relays and controllers when used with a sensor (not included). When the piston moves past the sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—attach one for each action to trigger.
