Pneumatic Cylinder

Pneumatics

Pneumatic cylinders convert compressed air pressure into linear or rotary mechanical force across bore diameters from 6 mm (ISO 6432 round cylinders) up to 320 mm (ISO 15552 profile cylinders), with stroke lengths from 1 mm short-stroke to over 2,000 mm rodless travel. Operating pressures typically range from 0.05 to 10 bar, with piston forces exceeding 8,000 N on large-bore units. Key international standards governing interchangeability and dimensional compliance include ISO 15552, ISO 21287, ISO 6432, and ISO 6431 - ensuring drop-in replacement across multi-brand machine builds.

This category brings together 6,019 pneumatic cylinder products spanning compact cylinders, guide units, rodless designs, rotary tables, grippers, shock absorbers, vacuum ejectors, and all associated sensors and fastening hardware. From single-acting mini cylinders for space-critical automation cells to double-piston EXSM units delivering multiplied force output, every major actuator topology is covered - norm-compliant and ready for direct integration.
