This pneumatic actuator from Festo is designed to help you get maximum productivity from a pneumatic cylinder in a small space. It's a double-acting cylinder that's fitted with two ports so it can extend and retract without needing a spring. The actuator can be used to move a load in two directions with efficiency and precision. A wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C makes it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.
• Flexible polymer end cushioning reduces noise and vibration, prolongs service life and doesn't need adjustment • Low-friction design makes it suitable for continuous operation • Can be used at pressures up to 10 bar for versatility • Compact dimensions of 27.5 (height) x 27.5 (width) x 59.2mm (length) take up minimal space
Applications
• Factory automation • Opening and closing doors • Robotics
What's the difference between a single-acting pneumatic cylinder and a double-acting one?
Single-acting cylinders have a single port and a spring to return the piston. Double-acting cylinders have two ports and use compressed air to move the load in both directions. Double-acting cylinders are more widely used because of their efficient and precise operation.
