Modify the stroke length on these air slides to meet changing application requirements—slides have adjustable shaft collars on the guide rods that you can move to fine-tune the stroke length. Convenient for use with devices such as grippers and printing heads, these air slides have a nonrotating head that provides steady motion and a large mounting area. Air slides have two guide rods parallel to the piston that keep the head from twisting as it extends and retracts. They have a magnetic piston so you can use them with sensors (sold separately) to activate relays and controllers.

Move grippers, printing heads, and other devices in areas constantly exposed to dust and powders as fine as flour. These slides last up to six times longer than standard air slides in extremely dirty, dusty environments, such as ceramics and paper manufacturing facilities. They have scrapers that wipe the rods clean and lubricant retainers that block particles. The air slide guide rods keep the head from twisting as it extends and retracts for steadier motion than air cylinders. They also have a larger mounting area, which makes it easier to mount devices you want to actuate to 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.
