Linear Actuators
Basic linear air cylinders are employed to facilitate straight-line, in/out linear motion across a range of applications. These cylinders come in various styles including single acting (with options for spring extend or spring return actuators) and double acting, featuring single rod or double rod configurations. Additionally, they are available in non-rotating and precision non-rotating models to suit specific precision needs. The body styles of these actuators can be crimped, round, or constructed with tie rods. Single acting air cylinders generate thrust in one direction and feature a spring return mechanism that reduces air consumption when compared to double acting air cylinders of the same size. Conversely, double acting air cylinders allow air pressure to be applied alternately to provide force in both directions, enhancing their utility in more dynamic applications.
