    About Air Cylinders
    industrial info icon

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

    Enclosed-Body ISO Air Cylinders

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Air Cylinders. Enclosed-Body ISO Air Cylinders.
    An extruded-aluminum body means these cylinders have no open spaces for debris to collect. They have an ISO industry-standard footprint to match common mounting patterns for easy interchangeability. These cylinders are double-acting, so they exert force in both directions. To minimize wear and reduce noise, they cushion the impact of the piston with air. Adjust the amount of cushion with a screw at each port. All have a magnetic piston so, you can use them with sensors (sold separately) to activate relays and controllers. 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. Mounts are compatible with ISO tie rod air cylinders.

    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.

    Ensure the correct cushioning, even with changing loads. These cylinders have self-adjusting cushions that automatically compensate for changes in load and speed. They have an extruded-aluminum body so there's no open spaces for debris to collect. All have a magnetic piston so you can use them with sensors (sold separately) to activate relays and controllers.

    Corrosion-Resistant ISO Tie Rod Air Cylinders

    Our most corrosion-resistant air cylinders, these cylinders are made of stainless steel for use in wet environments. Rods secure the end caps and shield the barrel from impact. These air cylinders are double acting, meaning they push and pull loads with nearly equal force. They have an ISO industry-standard footprint to match common mounting patterns, so they’re easy to switch in and out across equipment.
    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.

    Halt actuation at a moment’s notice—these air cylinders have an end lock that acts as an emergency stop. If there's a sudden loss of air pressure, the end lock engages to safely hold the load. You can also set them to stop anywhere along the stroke length as a simpler alternative to electric actuators. Rods along the barrel secure the end caps and shield the barrel from impact. These air cylinders are double acting, meaning they extend and retract with nearly equal force. All have adjustable air cushions that absorb piston impact to minimize wear and noise.
    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.

    Heavy-Duty Air-Actuated Stopper Cylinders

    Stop heavy material in its tracks. With the same footprint as regular air-actuated stopper cylinders, these air-actuated cylinders have a lever end that absorbs 30% more force. Plus, they’re tested to withstand twice as many cycles. Made of carbon steel, the rod extends to stop loads and retracts to let them pass. Even if material jams into the rod from an angle, it won’t bend or snap. Choose them for high-volume lines carrying heavy material, such as pallet conveyors.
