About Air Cylinders

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

Round Body Air Cylinders

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.

Single-Acting Round Body Air Cylinders

More basic and cost effective than double-acting cylinders, these single-acting cylinders exert force in one direction and have a spring to return the rod to its original position.

Miniature Threaded-Body Air Cylinders

These cylinders thread directly into your equipment, taking minimal space.

Subminiature Round Body Air Cylinders

At less than two inches in length, these cylinders actuate small devices in spots where other cylinders don’t fit.

Short-Stroke Clamping Air Cylinders

Also known as air clamps, these cylinders are used to apply force in holding applications.

Double-Ended Round Body Air Cylinders

Unlike other air cylinders that push and pull one object, these double-ended cylinders push one object while pulling another.

Washdown Round Body Air Cylinders

Able to resist corrosive solutions and chemical environments, these cylinders withstand washdown conditions.

Nonrotating Round Body Air Cylinders

Keep tools from twisting while moving them back and forth.

Multiple-Stroke Round Body Air Cylinders

Move loads between three positions instead of two.

Flexible-Mount Air Cylinders

Thin-Profile Flexible-Mount Nonrotating Air Cylinders

Clean Room Flexible-Mount Air Cylinders

Mount these cylinders directly to equipment in environments where contamination is a concern, such as electronics manufacturing.
