This version is used to keep at an angle the objects fixed onto the piston rod and to apply torques within the specified limits.

The piston rod in two-flat cylinders has two opposing longitudinal surfaces and is made entirely of stainless steel.

The front head of the cylinder includes a sintered bronze bush that engages the piston rod and prevents it from rotating.

A special polyurethane gasket guarantees air-tightness and dirt removal.

This technical solution is more airtight and reliable than square or hexagonal piston rods.

These compact cylinders come in the following versions:
• With or without a magnet
• Dual-acting, single piston rod
• Dual-acting, through piston rod – one piston rod is two-flat, and the other is cylindrical
• Fixing centre distances compatible with ISO 15552 (former ISO 6431), or with French standard NFE 49-004-1 and 2 (UNITOP)

The special profile and the fact that the external heads are screwed onto the liner gie an excellent guide. Numerous fixing options are available thanks to wide range of anchor points.

Retractable magnetic limit switches can be mounted in slots in the cylinder to measure the position.
