Cylinders with Hollow Piston Rod
Pneumatic cylinders with hollow rod offer an additional feature that makes them particularly suitable for numerous industrial applications, especially in vacuum systems. These linear actuators combine mechanical motion with a hollow rod integrated into the cylinder structure, enabling compact and efficient system design.
The FT option from ARTEC Pneumatic
The FT option in the coding key identifies the hollow rod configuration without doble rod. However, a version with hollow double rod is also available within Artec’s cylinders range.
The main advantage of the FT execution (with no double rod) is that the rear portion of the rod remains fixed. This feature allows the vacuum generator to be mounted directly onto the cylinder, significantly reducing overall dimensions compared to the version with double rod.
Application Advantages
Pneumatic cylinders with hollow rod (without double rod) represent a versatile solution for many industrial applications. By integrating linear motion and vacuum generation into a single component, they simplify system layout, reduce overall dimensions, and optimize space design.
The FT option is available on the following series:
- SERIE O: ISO 6432 standard cylinders, Ø25 mm only.
- SERIE H: ISO 15552 standard cylinders, on bores from Ø32 to Ø63 mm.
- SERIE P: ISO 21287 standard cylinders, Ø32 mm only.
For SERIE O a version with an anti-rotation hexagonal rod is also available. This solution is particularly s particularly effective in vacuum applications, as it prevents rotation of the suction cup during operation.
