Overview
The Bellofram 518-036-551 is a pneumatic flange mount air cylinder designed for industrial automation, machine control, and process actuation. Marsh Bellofram diaphragm air cylinders are actuators made from elastomers, engineered metals and fabrics, and require no lubrication while being virtually frictionless and economical. The flange mount configuration provides secure, direct attachment to manifolds and valve assemblies, making this unit suitable for OEM equipment and retrofit applications.
