Frequently Asked Questions

What is this Fabco-Air cylinder used for?

It is used for short-stroke pneumatic actuation where installation height is limited.

What bore size is this category?

1-1/2 inch

Why use a compact Pancake-style cylinder?

It provides linear force where machine space is limited, especially for short-stroke motion.

How do I calculate pneumatic cylinder force?

Theoretical force is piston area multiplied by air pressure, before efficiency and safety factors.

When should I consider a Multi-Power cylinder?

Use it when higher force is needed from shop air without moving to a much larger single-bore cylinder.

When should I consider a Longstroke cylinder?

Use it when the application needs more travel than a very short compact cylinder can provide.

Can magnetic sensing be used?

Many of these Fabco-Air cylinder families offer magnetic piston sensing; confirm the exact configuration.

What should I verify before ordering?

Confirm family, bore, stroke, pressure, mounting, rod end and sensing options.
