Rodless Pneumatic Cylinders

Ideal solution for any application that requires a long stroke.

Rodless pneumatic cylinders, also known as rodless actuators, are designed with the piston connected to an external carriage by a mechanical or magnetic coupling system. Rodless air cylinders are the ideal solution for any application that requires a long stroke, as they aren’t affected by overhang, piston binding, bending and uneven seal wear. Often used as a space-saving component, rodless cylinders are the ideal component where space is at a premium.

Rodless Cylinders

Rodless pneumatic cylinders are extremely versatile and can be used in an array of industries and processes. Some of these include the food processing, glass, plastics, textile and electronics industries. Rodless cylinder applications often include cutting, packaging, material transfer and sliding door applications.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a rodless cylinder

Rodless pneumatic cylinders are arguably more specialist than the average pneumatic actuator. Used in various applications, the components are often used where space is limited. There are four types of rodless cylinder types, including: mechanically coupled, magnetically coupled, guided and non-guided. These rodless actuators have differing features, which makes them ideal for a wide range of applications.

Features of Norgren’s Lintra Series

Lintra rodless actuators from Norgren have innovative features, which makes them one of the more popular types of rodless air cylinders. The Lintra series feature higher load capacity, lower static and dynamic friction levels, improved dust protection, a lightweight design and patented sealing system.
