How to choose Guide cylinder
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Design and Function
Guide cylinders combine drive and guidance in one unit; the plain bearing absorbs lateral forces and ensures twist-free movement of the piston rod. This improves positioning accuracy under side load compared with a free-standing cylinder.
