Guided air cylinders
LX series guided cylinders feature a onepiece extruded cylinder body with
integrated guides. They are available with
self-lubricating bronze or re-circulating
ball bearings and a permanent magnet and
built-in cushioning rings. Compact size is
due to one-piece cylinder/guide design
and a profile which allows for sensors to
be installed directly into the sensor grooves. Standard bore sizes range from 20
to 63 mm for strokes up to 200 mm.
