Airpel E9D0.5U Air Cylinder

Airpel E9D0.5U Air Cylinder is a double-acting Anti-Stiction® actuator delivering ultra-smooth, low-friction motion with a 0.366" bore and a 0.5" stroke, designed for precise, repeatable actuation. The piston is made from carbon-graphite and travels inside a borosilicate glass-lined cylinder housed in steel, with no interference-fit seals, yielding extremely low start-up friction and consistent velocity across the stroke. The U mounting option provides versatile installation, making it suitable for compact, high-precision applications such as counterbalancing, micro-positioning, metrology, and membrane-switch testing where tiny forces and minimal hysteresis matter. Airpel cylinders are noted for operation at low pressures and across wide temperature ranges, and the design relies on continuous air supply to maintain holding force since the absence of traditional seals can allow slow air leakage. This model integrates the characteristic Airpel benefits—stable, repeatable force with minimal friction—into a compact package ideal for applications requiring high-resolution, gap-free motion in tight spaces.
