Description
This new cylinder platform is engineered for flexibility — built to your specifications for thru hole size, piston travel, and required output force at 100 PSI. The space-saving single-ended, double-acting design provides precise, controlled extension and retraction, while the hollow rod enables unique pass-through functionality for tooling, cables, tubing, or other media. Single-ended for easier integration into your application.

The hollow rod end can be customized with internal or external threads, retaining ring grooves, or a bolt circle pattern to match your mounting requirements. Precision-machined anodized aluminum body ensures durability, low weight, and corrosion resistance.
Key Features
-
Fully customizable: Through-hole size, stroke length, and force output tailored to your application.
-
Custom rod-end configurations: Threads, grooves, or bolt circles available.
-
Port Options: Side ports, end ports, end o-ring sealed inlets, also known as manifold or trepan ports.
-
Single-ended, double-acting operation for controlled movement in both directions.
-
Anodized aluminum construction for strength and corrosion resistance.
Applications
Hollow rod cylinders offer versatility for push, pull, or lifting applications, and excel in situations where media must pass through the actuator:
-
Robotics end-of-arm tooling — integrate vacuum lines, wiring, or sensors through the hollow rod.
-
Pick-and-place and handling systems — lift, position, and clamp while routing internal utilities.
-
Automation and assembly fixtures — feed shafts, rods, or materials through the cylinder bore.
-
Testing and maintenance — apply linear force for push/pull testing while accommodating pass-through components.
-
Tensioning systems — pull cables, wire, or rods using the internal bore for guided alignment.
