Pneumatic Cylinders
A pneumatic cylinder uses compressed air acting on a piston or related element to create linear motion. Single-acting and double-acting constructions provide different actuation arrangements.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Pneumatic cylinders are the products used to provide linear or rotary motion and force to automated systems, machines and processes, for example in industrial applications.
Bore, pressure and friction determine available force. Air compressibility means that load and flow restrictions affect motion and positioning behaviour.
Rod guidance, mounting and end cushioning influence repeated cycles. Air quality and seal suitability matter alongside stroke and nominal force.
What turns activity into demand
Pneumatic cylinders convert compressed-air pressure into motion while flow control shapes speed and cushioning.
The commercial boundary
Separate cylinders from valve manifolds, compressors and complete automated mechanisms.
