What Is a Compact Cylinder?
A compact cylinder has a much shorter body than a standard cylinder of the same bore. It is used for short-stroke clamping, locking and in-mould movements where installation space is tight.
The short body tolerates little side load, so the load should be guided separately.
| Gives | Short body for tight spaces |
