Industrial Q98-4442-A4 Pancake Style Pneumatic Cylinder

Industrial Q98-4442-A4 pancake-style pneumatic cylinder is a compact actuator designed for chucking tasks in automation and tight-space fixtures. The unit is described as a compact pancake cylinder with chuck configuration, carrying a travel specification of 6" x 1" and part number 1102-070-079. Its low-profile form and pancake geometry help it fit into small-footprint tooling and machine-tending setups, making it suitable for precision clamping and workholding in machining, assembly fixtures, and other automation cells where space is at a premium. In practice, this cylinder supports repeatable pneumatic actuation for chucking operations in compact automation environments, enabling reliable handling of workpieces without sacrificing available workspace. Typical use cases include small-scale milling or drilling fixtures, assembly rigs, and other applications where a chuck must be actuated within restricted clearances. Because the pancake form factor emphasizes a short overall profile, it is well-suited for installations where vertical clearance is limited and mounting behind fixtures is required.
