Overview
The PHD SLB72X70-AE-AR-DB-UB15-H4 is a compact pneumatic guided cylinder engineered for precision linear motion control in manufacturing and automation systems. The SLB series combines integrated rod guidance with durable pneumatic actuation, minimizing side loads and deflection during operation. With a 72mm bore and 70mm stroke, this guided cylinder is rated for general industrial duty cycles and is configured with rod-mounted guidance and end-of-stroke porting for flexible valve control. This unit is fully functional and ready for integration into existing pneumatic systems requiring reliable linear thrust.
Key Features
- Integrated Rod Guidance: Double rod bearing guide (DB option) reduces deflection and extends rod/bushing life under lateral loads
- Bore/Stroke Configuration: 72mm bore and 70mm stroke for mid-range force and displacement applications
- Rod-Mounted Design: AR option allows cleaner mounting configurations and compact envelope
- End-of-Stroke Porting: AE configuration provides flexible valve connection options
- U-Bracket Mounting: UB15 mounting bracket simplifies installation in confined spaces
- Pneumatic Operation: Typically rated for 80–100 psi nominal operating pressure
Technical Specifications
- Bore Diameter: 72 mm
- Stroke Length: 70 mm
- Rod Diameter: Per PHD specification (typically 25–32 mm for this bore size)
- Guidance Type: Double rod bearing (DB)
- Mounting Style: U-bracket 15mm (UB15) + rod-mounted (AR)
- Port Configuration: End-of-stroke (AE)
- Nominal Pressure: 80–100 psi [5.5–6.9 bar]
- Material: Ductile iron or aluminum cylinder body with hardened rod
- Sealing: Nitrile or equivalent elastomer seals for compressed air service

Typical Applications
- Pick-and-place mechanisms and material handling automation
- Machine tool indexing and clamping fixtures
- Assembly line positioning and part ejection
- Press-brake and stamping operations requiring precise stroke control
- Industrial robotics and automated test equipment where linear actuation and guidance are critical
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- PHD pneumatic valve manifolds (cavity-mount or sandwich configurations)
- Pneumatic solenoid valves rated 24 VDC or 120 VAC, NG10 and NG16 cavity sizes
- Standard compressed air lines and brass/nylon push-to-connect fittings (1/4″ NPT or M18×1.5)
- Industrial PLC and proportional pressure control systems with electronic feedback (via optional proximity switches)
- Aluminum or steel T-slot and bracket extrusion frames for modular machine design
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
- PHD SLB64X70-AE-AR-DB-UB15-H4 (64mm bore variant; verify rod and port orientation before ordering)
- Hoerbiger-Origa and Bosch Rexroth compact guided cylinders of equivalent bore/stroke in legacy applications
- Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering, as rod thread size and porting may differ between models.
Works With
- PHD and third-party pneumatic solenoid directional control valves (4/3 and 5/3 spool types)
- Manual hand valves and hydraulic counterbalance or load-check valves for speed control
- Compressed air from standard shop air systems at 80–100 psi regulated pressure
- Proximity switches (PNP/NPN, inductive or mechanical) for position feedback and control logic integration
- Automation software and motion control systems requiring simple on/off or proportional actuation signals
