Guided Cylinders
Precision Actuators for Controlled Linear Motion and Load Stability
General Information
We supply a comprehensive selection of guided pneumatic cylinders from well-known manufacturers such as Emerson (Aventics), Festo, SMC, Parker, Camozzi, Joyner, Riegler and Metal Work. These cylinders are equipped with integrated guide rods that provide high lateral load capacity and anti-rotation functionality, making them ideal for precise linear motion applications.
Guided cylinders combine the compact design of standard pneumatic actuators with enhanced mechanical guidance, ensuring parallel motion, increased stability, and better resistance to torsional forces. They are widely used in environments where accurate positioning, repeatability, and durability are essential—such as pick-and-place units, pressing operations, and clamping tasks.
Our offering includes models with twin-rod designs, slide units, and compact guided actuators, available in various bore sizes, stroke lengths, and mounting configurations. All products are designed for industrial automation systems and are available with worldwide shipping and technical assistance for integration and replacement.
