Frequently Asked Questions
What is this Fabco-Air product used for?
It is used for linear motion where a conventional extending piston rod would require too much installation space.
How do I choose the correct cylinder or actuator size?
Consider load, required force or torque, stroke or rotation, speed, pressure and safety factor.
How does bore size affect cylinder force?
Larger bore area produces more theoretical force at the same air pressure.
Why use a guided slide instead of a basic cylinder?
Guided slides better support tooling and side loads because the guide mechanism controls alignment.
When is a rodless cylinder useful?
Rodless cylinders are useful where long stroke is needed but there is not enough axial space for an extending piston rod.
Can position sensors be used?
Many pneumatic cylinders support magnetic or other sensing options; confirm the exact model and piston configuration.
What should I check for replacement parts?
Confirm the complete series, bore, stroke, mounting and option codes before ordering seals or replacement components.
How do I select the correct mounting style?
Choose a mounting that supports the load direction and allows the actuator to move without binding or misalignment.
