Overview
The PHD CRS6U 20 X 40-BB-M compact pneumatic cylinder delivers robust linear motion control in a space-efficient design. This double-acting unit combines a 20mm bore with 40mm stroke, making it ideal for automation tasks requiring consistent force and precise positioning in confined mounting areas. The magnetic piston (-M) option enables seamless integration with proximity sensors for automated process feedback.
Key Features
- Compact profile optimized for tight mounting spaces without sacrificing performance
- Double-acting design provides powered extension and retraction for full control
