Overview
The Airpel E16D1.5-N is a precision pneumatic cylinder engineered for applications requiring ultra-low friction and smooth, consistent operation across a wide pressure range. Rated for 100 PSI maximum operating pressure, this anti-stiction air cylinder eliminates the stick-slip friction that plagues conventional pneumatic actuators. The double-acting design with 1.5-inch stroke delivers predictable performance in positioning, clamping, and transfer applications.
Key Features
- Anti-stiction design ensures smooth, low-friction operation at all pressure levels
- Double-acting configuration for extended and retracted stroke control
- Compact 0.627-inch bore fits tight industrial spaces
- 100 PSI rated pressure with consistent performance across range
- Mounting nut included for quick installation
- Available in both single-rod and double-rod-end configurations
Technical Specifications
The E16D1.5-N delivers consistent force output through its precisely engineered piston geometry:
- Piston Area (Rear): 0.307 sq. in.
- Rod Side Area: 0.276 sq. in.
- Friction Loss: Typically 1-2% of load across all pressure ranges
- Stroke Length: 1.5 inches
- Maximum Operating Pressure: 100 PSI
- Bore Diameter: 0.627 inches (5/8″)
Typical Applications
- Precision positioning and indexing systems
- Automated assembly and material handling equipment
- Clamping fixtures and vises in manufacturing
- Medical device actuators requiring smooth, controlled motion
- Packaging machinery and labeling equipment
- Test stand automation with repeatable accuracy
