Industrial ML216682 Pneumatic Cylinder Series

Description:

The PHD ML216682 Cylinder is used in industrial automation systems to provide precise linear motion for positioning, transfer, and material handling applications. Commonly installed in assembly equipment, packaging machinery, conveyors, and automated production systems requiring compact guided actuation. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this cylinder for equipment repairs, machine retrofits, expansion projects, and replacement of worn pneumatic actuators. Available references identify the ML216682 as a PHD linear slide cylinder assembly.

Applications:

The PHD ML216682 cylinder is commonly used in pick-and-place systems, packaging machinery, robotic end effectors, parts transfer equipment, and automated assembly stations where accurate linear positioning and load guidance are required. The guided slide design helps resist side loading and moment forces better than conventional rod cylinders, making it suitable for precision automation applications.
