SERIE P with Adjustable Pneumatic Cushioning

ARTEC Pneumatic expands its range of compact cylinders with a new double-acting version of the SERIE P, equipped with adjustable pneumatic cushioning. Fully compliant with ISO 21287, this model maintains compact dimensions and standard mounting interfaces, ensuring full compatibility with ISO accessories and easy integration into existing systems.

Compact cylinder with adjustable pneumatic cushioning: technical features

The new SERIE P pneumatic cylinder with integrated cushioning is available in bore sizes from Ø32 to Ø63 mm and standard strokes ranging from 5 to 400 mm.
The pneumatic cushioning is adjustable at both ends, allowing precise control of deceleration at stroke limits. 
The front end cover has been specially designed to accommodate the cushioning system and features an extended section that also acts as a light guide for the piston rod, enhancing stability and alignment.

Full ISO 21287 compliance and easy integration

The cushioned SERIE P cylinder complies with the mounting interfaces and dimensions specified by ISO 21287, ensuring full compatibility with standard accessories and allowing smooth integration into pre-existing equipment and systems.

Advantages of SERIE P compact cylinders with adjustable pneumatic cushioning

The pneumatic cushioning reduces vibration during operation and noise pollution within the system.
The cushioning system allows precise adjustment of the cylinder deceleration at the end of stroke.

This version of the compact SERIE P cylinder also enables a slightly higher operating speed.

Thanks to its versatility, the SERIE P compact cylinder is ideal for industrial applications with high-duty cycles, especially where space is limited and precision is essential.

Backed by the expertise of the in-house production workshop and the technical department, ARTEC Pneumatic is also able to adapt and customise its cylinders according to specific application requirements.

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

Anti-rotation pneumatic cylinder with twin rods: ARTEC expands the SERIE H range

ARTEC expands the range of its SERIE H cylinders, designed in compliance with ISO 15552 standards, with a new anti-rotation version featuring twin rods.

Alongside the version equipped with an internal anti-rotation system, the new HDMA2 is now available.

It combines guidance and anti-rotation functions in a single, compact and robust solution.

This new model is part of a continuous effort to expand ARTEC Pneumatic’s SERIE H cylinders, with the goal of responding more precisely to the diverse application needs of our customers.

We aim to offer technical variants that deliver functionality, reliability, and full compatibility with ISO standards.

New HDMA2: guidance and anti-rotation in one pneumatic cylinder

The HDMA2 cylinder maintains the same profile as ARTEC Pneumatic’s SERIE H cylinders, but features a solid aluminium front head, designed to accommodate two piston rods fixed to a steel plate developed by ARTEC.

This plate includes four direct mounting holes and effectively prevents rod rotation during operation, ensuring stable and controlled linear motion.

Key technical features of the HDMA2 cylinder

• Available in bores Ø32 to Ø100 mm

• Cushioned at both ends, with adjustable cushioning

• Magnetic version as standard

• Anodised aluminium profile tube with integrated sensor slots

• High-temperature seals available on request

• Through-rod version available

Twin-rod pneumatic cylinders: precision, stability and resistance

Twin-rod cylinders offer improved linear motion precision and reduced play on the rods when subjected to radial loads.

This configuration is ideal for applications requiring non-rotating movement and maximum stability throughout the working cycle.

Easy system integration

The HDMA2 cylinder is designed for easy integration into existing systems, thanks to compatibility with ISO-compliant mounting accessories, including those from our SERIE W.

A solution that simplifies installation, reduces downtime and ensures consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.

A reliable and versatile anti-rotation solution

The new HDMA2 cylinders with twin rods from ARTEC Pneumatic’s SERIE H range offer a robust and dependable solution wherever shaft rotation must be eliminated and precise, stable linear movement is essential.
