Move optical equipment and other electronics sensitive to dust and fine particles from a range of mounting positions. 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. Compared to standard air slides, these slides have a platform that extends the mounting surface to the top of the slide. This design reduces the total space needed for a full stroke length. Two guide rods keep the head steady as it extends and retracts.

A magnetic piston inside these slides activates 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—one for each action you want to trigger.

For flexibility with your setup, mount equipment on top or in front of these air slides. Mount on top to reduce the space you need to move a full stroke length. Often used with gripping equipment, they have a larger mounting area than air cylinders. They also have two guide rods that keep the head steady as it extends and retracts.

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.
