Industrial E9X0.5N Air Cylinder Pneumatic Actuator

The Airpel E9X0.5N Industrial Air Cylinder Pneumatic Actuator from Airpot is a ultra-low-friction, anti-stiction cylinder designed for precise, repeatable linear actuation. It features a 0.5-inch stroke and a 0.36-inch bore, enabling compact, controlled motion in tight spaces. As part of Airpot’s Airpel line, it uses a graphite piston inside a borosilicate glass cylinder to minimize friction and hysteresis, delivering smooth starts and consistent velocity across the stroke, even at low loads. The unit is rated for vacuum to 100 psi operating pressure (100 psi max), making it suitable for metrology, gripping, tension control, and test fixtures that require fine force application. The anti-stiction design helps maintain repeatable positioning with minimal stick-slip, contributing to higher measurement accuracy in laboratory or assembly environments. Airpot notes that while working pressure is 0 to 100 psi, cylinder burst pressures are typically in the 700–1,000 psi range, providing a robust safety margin for many applications.
