A Multi-Position Pneumatic Cylinder is an advanced linear actuator designed to provide two or more precise stroke positions using a single cylinder body. Unlike standard cylinders that operate in only two positions (fully extended and fully retracted), multi-position cylinders incorporate multiple pistons or chambers that can be independently pressurized to achieve intermediate positions with accuracy and repeatability.

Available in double or triple piston configurations, these cylinders are widely used in automated packaging lines, sorting machines, assembly equipment, pick-and-place operations, and material handling systems where varying stroke lengths are needed in a single cycle. This reduces the need for multiple actuators, saves space, and lowers overall system complexity.

Constructed with anodized aluminum barrels, hardened stainless steel piston rods, and high-performance seals, multi-position cylinders offer durability, flexibility, and high cycle life. They are compatible with proximity sensors and ISO standard mounting accessories for easy integration into automated systems.

Key Features of Multi-Position Cylinder:

Design & Construction

• ✅ Two or More Independent Pistons
  Allows multiple pre-set stopping points in a single stroke cycle.

• ✅ Robust, Compact Housing
  Built with anodized aluminum or steel bodies for industrial durability.

• ✅ Stainless Steel Piston Rods
  Precision-ground and chrome-plated for long service life.

Positioning & Stroke Flexibility

• ✅ 2-Position, 3-Position, or 4-Position Versions
  Standard configurations available for 2 or 3 stages; custom versions possible.

• ✅ Bore Sizes: From 32 mm to 125 mm (custom larger bores on request)

• ✅ Total Stroke Length: Typically 50 mm to 500 mm (application-specific)

• ✅ Intermediate Stroke Accuracy: High positional repeatability between stops.

⚙️ Functionality & Control

• ✅ Individually Controlled Chambers
  Different pistons actuate independently based on port pressurization.

• ✅ Double Acting Operation
  Motion in both directions for each piston section.

• ✅ Multiple Output Combinations
  Enables stroke combinations like A+B, A, B, or fully retracted/extended.

Mounting & Integration

• ✅ ISO 15552-Compatible (in most models)
  For easy installation and global compatibility.

• ✅ Mounting Accessories Available
  Flange, foot, clevis, and trunnion types offered.

• ✅ Sensor Grooves on Body
  Supports magnetic sensors for position feedback.

Durability & Maintenance

• ✅ High-Quality NBR/PU Seals
  Designed for leak-free operation over millions of cycles.

• ✅ Rod Wipers and Dust Seals
  Protect internal components from debris and contamination.

• ✅ Modular Design
  Easy servicing and replacement of individual sections.
