Pneumatic Cylinders
A pneumatic cylinder, also called an air cylinder, is a mechanical device that uses compressed air to move a piston. At Ebora, we offer a wide range of cylinders from top brands like Festo, Camozzi, Aventics, and Emerson, including ISO/VDMA profile cylinders, compact cylinders, rodless cylinders, and rotary actuators.
How does a pneumatic cylinder work?
A pneumatic cylinder converts the energy of compressed air into mechanical motion. The air enters the cylinder chamber, pushing the piston in a specific direction. This linear force is transferred through a piston rod or magnetic coupling to drive other parts. Thanks to this reliable and clean mechanism, pneumatic cylinders are widely used in industrial automation.

Double-acting pneumatic cylinder
A double-acting pneumatic cylinder uses air on both sides of the piston, allowing force in both directions. This provides precise movement and control, especially in fast or heavy-duty operations.
Common uses include pressing, clamping, pushing, and lifting. See also our range of pneumatic actuators.
Single-acting pneumatic cylinder
A single-acting pneumatic cylinder operates using air on one side only, with a spring return for the opposite direction. This makes them energy-efficient and safer in case of air loss, as the piston returns to its rest position automatically.
Ideal for applications where movement is only needed in one direction, such as releasing or opening valves.
