Rodless cylinders are linear actuators designed for precision motion control in automation systems. They feature a piston moving within a cylinder without an external rod, enabling compact designs suitable for confined spaces. Key characteristics include high load capacity, smooth operation, and resistance to side loads. Common variants include magnetic coupling (sealed) and mechanical band types. Typical applications encompass pick-and-place robots, CNC equipment, and assembly lines. Products in this category may include guided rodless cylinders, stainless steel models for corrosive environments, or motor-integrated smart cylinders with position feedback. These components excel in repeatability (often ±0.001") and stroke lengths up to 6 meters, making them essential for precision automation tasks.
