Overview
The PHD CRS6U20X15-BB-M is a Series CRS pneumatic compact cylinder engineered for applications where space and stroke precision are critical. This 6mm bore unit delivers compact, reliable linear motion with a proven design that combines durability with performance. The magnetic piston variant makes it ideal for systems requiring integrated position sensing or end-of-stroke detection.
