Overview
The Compact Air Products RFH158X112 SP pneumatic cylinder is a double-acting actuator designed for applications where space efficiency and responsive linear motion are critical. This double-acting cylinder utilizes compressed air to deliver precise and efficient movement in both extension and retraction strokes. The compact form factor makes it ideal for modern automation systems where installation space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.
Key Features
- Double-Acting Design: Provides controlled movement in both directions, enhancing versatility and efficiency in various industrial processes.
- Compact Profile: Engineered to fit into tight spaces without compromising performance, making it ideal for applications with space constraints.
- Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials to ensure longevity and consistent performance in demanding environments.
- Industrial-Grade Sealing: Equipped with precision seals for reliable operation across a range of pressures and temperatures.
- Proven Reliability: Compact Air Products cylinders are widely used in automation, material handling, and packaging applications worldwide.
Technical Specifications
The RFH158X112 SP maintains standard specifications for pneumatic double-acting cylinders in its class. Bore size and stroke length are encoded in the model number format (158 × 112 designation). Operating pressure range is typical for industrial pneumatic systems, with compatibility across most standard air supply networks. Mounting options support both side-mounted and manifold configurations common to industrial control systems.
Typical Applications
- Automation and assembly machinery requiring compact actuators
- Material handling and conveyor systems with space-constrained designs
