Six routes to
linear motion.

Choose the body and guidance format for your installation, then open a category to compare its series and available specifications.

Choose the construction.
Then refine the size.

Body length, guidance and the moving interface lead to different selection requirements. Start with the format that fits the machine.

Standard bodies

Review profile or tie-rod construction, mounting options and the rod arrangement for the selected series.

Miniature formats

Start with body dimensions and the required acting type, then check stroke and rod-end details.

Compact bodies

Check the retracted assembly length, mounting face and available stroke.

Slide tables

Compare the table mounting, guide configuration and the orientation and offset of the load.

Guided cylinders

Review the rod and guide-bearing arrangement alongside bore, stroke and mounting.

Rodless travel

Check travel, carriage guidance and coupling type for the selected series.

New machine

Record the motion, load direction, available space and mounting surfaces. Include the required control and position-sensing functions.

Replacement

Start with the complete model and nameplate. Keep photographs of the existing mounting, rod end, ports and sensor arrangement ready to share.

Load and orientation
Load direction, attachment position, motion path and any external guidance.
Bore and stroke
Required travel and available installation length. Compare the selected series data before fixing the size.
Working conditions
Pressure, medium, temperature, cycle requirements and the installation environment.
Mounting and interfaces
Mounting pattern, rod end, port thread and available tube routing.
Connections
Match tube size and port thread to the air circuit.
Position sensing
Confirm sensor fit and switching needs for the chosen variant.
End of stroke
Review cushioning and stop arrangements for the selected series.

All 26 series groups.
The range in one place.

Series names may include related variants. Open a category for configuration information and the available technical data.

Technical references.
Prepare the right details.

Open the series tables and installation checklists to prepare a clear new-machine or replacement requirement.

Common questions.

How do guided cylinders and slide tables differ?

Compare the guide arrangement, the moving mounting surface and where the load attaches. Review the specific series data for the required orientation and offset; bore alone does not describe the guided assembly.

Does matching bore and stroke confirm a replacement?

Also compare mounting dimensions, rod end, port thread, sensor arrangement and the operating limits of the exact model. List the existing model, nameplate details and installation-photo references in your brief.

Are the available options the same for every series?

Acting type, mounting, sensing and cushioning options vary by series and variant. Review the selected category and confirm the complete configuration before choosing the component.

Bring the actuator
requirements together.

Start with the series, bore and stroke. Add the load direction, working pressure, mounting, connections and quantity for your next discussion.
