Parker Hydraulics & Pneumatics stocks and supplies an extensive range of pneumatic cylinders from leading manufacturers including Festo, Norgren and AirTAC.
Pneumatic cylinders – sometimes known as pneumatic actuators or drives, are a component that uses compressed air to provide a motion or force to a variety of applications. Typical application areas for pneumatic cylinders include clamping, lifting, pushing, pulling, feeding and many others.
You can get both single acting and double acting cylinders along with the relevant mountings, brackets, and accessories to suit. Pneumatic cylinders come in a variety of different options including profile cylinders, roundline cylinders, compact cylinders and rodless cylinders. Many meet ISO/VDMA standards. Pneumatic cylinders are available in various sizes from 6mm to 320mm bore.
Profile Cylinders
Profile cylinders provide linear motion, energy is applied through fast movement of the pistons via compressed air. The profile barrel has been designed to facilitate easy fitting and commissioning and to assist in service replacement. They also conform to ISO 15552 (ISO 6431, VDMA 24562).
Roundline Cylinders
Roundline cylinders are suited to lower force applications, they come in both single acting and double acting versions and some also conform to the ISO6432 standard.
Rodless Cylinders
Rodless cylinders do not have a piston rod, however they still execute a linear motion (this is why they are also known as linear drives). The connection to the piston is either mechanical or magnetic. They are mostly used in applications where longer travel distances are required.
