Exploring Festo Pneumatic Cylinders: A Comprehensive Guide
In the world of industrial automation, pneumatic cylinders play a crucial role in powering linear movements. Among the leading providers of pneumatic solutions, Festo stands out for its high-quality piston rod cylinders that excel in performance and reliability. Let's delve into the various types of Festo pneumatic cylinders and their applications.
Piston Rod Cylinders
Festo offers a wide range of piston rod cylinders designed for linear movements. These cylinders come in various forms, including round cylinders, profile cylinders, compact cylinders, short-stroke cylinders, flat cylinders, miniature cylinders, screw-in cylinders, and stainless-steel cylinders. Depending on the piston diameter, Festo piston rod cylinders can generate thrust forces of up to 50 kN at 6 bar.
Round Cylinders:
Round cylinders from Festo are known for their excellent operational performance, long service life, and easy installation. Their round design allows them to be installed even in tight spaces, making them versatile for a range of applications. Festo offers both double-acting and single-acting round cylinders, as well as cylinders according to standard ISO 6432.

Tie Rod Cylinders:
Festo's profile cylinders and tie rod cylinders have identical mounting interfaces and conform to the ISO 15552 standard. The main difference lies in the mounting of proximity switches: profile cylinders have switches inserted in the slot on the profile tube, while tie rod cylinders have switches attached to a tie rod using a separate mounting kit.
