SERIE H Pneumatic Cylinders for Cento Carnevale d’Europa 2025

During the 2025 edition of the Cento Carnevale d’Europa, a highly significant event for our region held annually in the city of Cento (FE), home to ARTEC Pneumatic’s headquarters, ARTEC actively contributed to the creation of an allegorical float that paraded through the city streets.
Our involvement came through the supply of SERIE H pneumatic cylinders, which enabled the synchronized movement of complex mechanical components.

The ISO 15552 SERIE H cylinder was used in a sophisticated scenographic application, installed on a mobile platform designed to operate smoothly and safely during the parade.
A clear example of how our pneumatic technology adapts even to unconventional scenarios.

Controlled Motion and Maximum Reliability

The client’s goal – Associazione Carnevalesca Mazalora, which has participated in Cento’s parades since 1947 – was to automate the scenic motion of large mechanical flowers, cyclically opening and closing on the float.
This system required precision, mechanical strength, and operational continuity.

Key application requirements:

• Accurate open/close cycling

• Mechanical durability of the cylinders

• Resistance to vibrations, impacts, and prolonged stress

• Reliability in varying environmental (outdoor) conditions

The Solution: ARTEC Pneumatic SERIE H Cylinders

To meet these needs, we selected ARTEC Pneumatic’s SERIE H cylinders, engineered for high performance in demanding environments.
The ISO 15552-compliant cylinder proved to be the perfect match, delivering:

• Operational efficiency

• Excellent performance

• Smooth, consistent motion

The result? A reliable, silent, and visually impressive motion system.

From Scenic Design to Industrial Use: SERIE H Versatility

This case history highlights the remarkable versatility of Artec’s SERIE H cylinders, suitable not only for industrial production lines but also for creative and dynamic applications.

The same level of performance achieved in this project can be replicated in:

• Packaging automation systems

• Handling and assembly lines

• Welding, labeling, and forming machinery

• High-frequency cyclic applications
