What does it mean that these are 'double acting' cylinders?

A double-acting cylinder uses compressed air to power the piston in both directions – extending and retracting. This gives you powered control over both movements. It's different from a single-acting cylinder, which typically uses air for one direction and a spring to return.

How do I figure out which bore and stroke length I need?

The bore size, like 50mm or 63mm, determines the force the cylinder can produce at a given air pressure. The stroke length, such as 100mm or 250mm, is simply how far the piston rod moves. You'll need to choose a bore that provides enough force for your task and a stroke that matches the travel distance you need.

What kind of air supply do these need and what temperatures can they handle?

These cylinders run on an operating pressure between 0.15 and 1.0 Mpa (megapascals). The air supply must be filtered by a 40μm filter element to prevent internal damage. They are designed to work in temperatures from 0°C up to 60°C.

This double-acting pneumatic cylinder provides linear force using compressed air. It works much like a hydraulic cylinder but is cleaner and often faster for automated tasks. With many bore and stroke sizes, you can find the right pneumatic actuator for your project. Features and Benefits - Double-Acting Operation - Uses air pressure to push and pull the piston, giving you full control over movement in both directions. - Adjustable End-of-Stroke Cushioning - Built-in cushions absorb impact at the end of each movement, which reduces noise and wear. - Anodized Aluminum Body - The SC pneumatic cylinder body resists corrosion. Its hard-anodized finish helps the piston move smoothly. - Multiple Configurations - Available in sizes like a 50mm bore with a 100mm stroke to match your specific force and distance needs. Applications - Factory Automation - Good for tasks like pushing, clamping, sorting, and positioning on assembly lines. - Workshop Machinery - Powers custom presses, robotic arms, or material handling equipment in a manufacturing setting. - Food & Beverage - A stainless steel pneumatic cylinder option is available for processing and packaging where cleanliness is important.
