    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

    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.

    Nose-mount cylinders only have mounting threads on the front end, so they’re shorter than universal-mount cylinders.

    Accessories for Air Cylinders

    Impact-Resistant Round Body Air Cylinders

    Built to withstand hard knocks, these cylinders have a thick barrel wall for more durability than standard air cylinders. They combine the form of a round body air cylinder with the rugged construction of a tie-rod body air cylinder. All are double acting; they use air to exert force in both directions.
    Sensor-Ready Nose Mount

    Sensor-ready cylinders have a magnetic piston to activate relays and controllers. When the piston moves past the sensor (sold separately), the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors. Attach one for each action you want to trigger.
    Nose-mount cylinders have threads and a nut on the front of the cylinder and install in a fixed position horizontally or vertically.
