Festo Rodless Cylinder and Parts – Overview and Buyer’s Guide
What is a Festo Rodless Cylinder?
A Festo rodless cylinder is a type of pneumatic actuator designed for long stroke applications where a traditional cylinder with an extending piston rod would be space-restrictive. Instead of a rod, these cylinders move a carriage (also called a slide) along a sealed tube, transferring motion via an internal piston connected magnetically or mechanically.
Festo, a global leader in automation, manufactures high-performance rodless cylinders ideal for precise linear motion in compact spaces.
