Double acting pneumatic cylindersteleskopic, series RT |
|
| Double-acting RT series actuators consist of 2 or 3 stages, providing strokes significantly exceeding the cylinder‘s overall length. They are ideal for space-constrained applications where standard cylinders cannot be used, offering 50–60% space savings. For optimal service life, a vertical mounting position is recommended; otherwise, lower maximum strokes and speeds must be expected. Cylinders must not be exposed to side loads or torsional moments and are not suitable for dusty or abrasive environments. Operating force is limited by the smallest piston area. Stages and the piston rod are non-rotating as standard, with a rotating rod version available as an option. |

Dimension comparisonWith 2-stage telescopic cylinders, up to 50% of installation space can be saved compared to standard cylinders according to ISO 15552 or VDMA 24562, while maintaining the same stroke (A). For 3-stage telescopic cylinders, the savings can reach up to 60%. |
