Festo Rodless Cylinders

Rodless cylinders are pneumatic cylinders and – as the name suggests – do not require a piston rod. But even without a piston rod they perform a linear movement, which is why they are also called linear drives. Rodless cylinders are used primarily in applications with relatively long travel distances, e.g. as the basic drive in a multi-axis gantry or for feeding tasks.
Mechanically coupled cylinders

Mechanically coupled cylinders

Mechanically coupled cylinders describe pneumatic rodless linear actuators whose slides are moved by a mechanical coupling with the piston. With this design, the pneumatic space is opened in the longitudinal direction and is sealed to the outside by a flexible sealing band in front of and behind the piston. These linear drives are used in particular where piston rod cylinders require too much installation space or where the required stroke length is greater than is possible with piston rod cylinders.

Magnetically coupled cylinders

Magnetically coupled cylinders

Magnetically coupled cylinders describe pneumatic rodless linear actuators whose slides are moved by a magnetic coupling with the piston. With this design, the pneumatic space is closed and hermetically sealed. These linear drives are used in particular where piston rod cylinders require too much installation space or where the required stroke length is greater than is possible with piston rod cylinders.
