Working Mechanism
- Compressed air is supplied to one of the cylinder chambers.
- The compressed air pushes the piston and magnetic piston in the opposite direction, causing the carriage to move in one direction along the track.
- When the compressed air is released from that chamber, a spring pushes the piston and magnetic piston back in the opposite direction.
- The carriage moves in the opposite direction along the track due to the back-and-forth motion of the piston and magnetic piston.
- The double-acting feature of the air cylinder enables it to generate force in both directions of travel.
- Compressed air can be supplied to either chamber to move the carriage in either direction, making it more versatile and flexible than single-acting cylinders.
- The rodless design of the cylinder provides greater freedom of movement for the carriage, as it can travel the entire length of the cylinder body without being limited by the length of a piston rod.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ambient temperature range of these double acting rodless air cylinders?
-22 to 176 degrees F.
How to install Speedaire double acting rodless air cylinders?
- Determine the mounting position for the cylinder and ensure that it is securely fastened to the machine or system.
- Connect the air supply to the cylinder using appropriate fittings, hoses and regulators as needed. Follow manufacturer recommendations for air supply pressure and flow rates.
- Adjust the cushioning on both ends of the cylinder to ensure smooth deceleration of the carriage at the end of each stroke. This may involve adjusting the cushion screw or adding cushion spacers as needed.
- Install the carriage onto the track and ensure that it is properly aligned and free to move along the full length of the cylinder body.
- Install any necessary sensors or switches to monitor the position or movement of the carriage, as well as any additional components or devices that may be required for the specific application.
- Test the operation of the cylinder and adjust any settings or parameters as needed to ensure optimal performance.
- Follow any safety precautions or guidelines when working with compressed air, including using appropriate personal protective equipment and ensuring proper ventilation and filtration of the air supply.
- Regularly inspect and maintain the cylinder and its components to ensure continued safe and reliable operation.
How do I clean and maintain these rodless air cylinders?
- Regularly inspect the cylinder and its components for any signs of wear, damage or leaks. Address any issues immediately to prevent further damage or malfunction.
- Use a clean and dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the cylinder and remove any dirt or debris.
- Check the air supply system and ensure that it is clean and free of contaminants such as dust, moisture or oil. Use appropriate filters or dryers as needed.
- Use a mild detergent or solvent to clean any parts that may be contaminated with oil or other fluids. Be sure to follow manufacturer recommendations for cleaning agents and procedures.
- Lubricate the cylinder as needed, following manufacturer recommendations for the type and amount of lubricant to use. Avoid over-lubricating, as this can attract dirt and debris and cause further problems.
