Mechanical & Motion

A pneumatic cylinder is a mechanical device that transfers the energy contained in compressed air into a reciprocating linear motion. A piston in a double-acting cylinder is moved in and out by compressed air, whereas a piston in a single-acting cylinder is moved in and out by compressed air and a return spring. They have a variety of attachments, such as sensors for detecting the position of the piston and various mounting accessories for mounting the cylinder or adding components to the end of the piston. Pneumatic cylinders are used in a variety of sectors that require linear motion since they are simple to use and cost-effective. They are also known as air cylinders.

Documentation & RFQ readiness

BOLTON sources and supplies to specification. Documentation availability depends on the product, its manufacturer/supplier source and your stated requirement, and can be confirmed during quotation. To get an accurate quote quickly, include:

  • The exact manufacturer part number (MPN) and quantity required
  • Any drawing, specification or standard that applies, where relevant
  • Required documentation — e.g. certificate of conformity, datasheet, test report, SDS/TDS, calibration certificate or traceability, where applicable
  • Delivery location and required-by date
