Rodless Air Slides
With no external moving parts, these air slides provide a long stroke, but have a static footprint—only the carriage on top moves. They have a magnetic piston so you can use them with sensors (not included) to activate relays and controllers.
Sensor-ready slides have adjustable air cushions that absorb piston impact to minimize wear and noise. Turn the screws to adjust the amount of cushion. Barrel, end caps, and slide are aluminum.

Air Slides
Convenient for use with devices such as grippers and printing heads, these air slides have a nonrotating head that provides steady motion and a larger mounting area than air cylinders. Air slides have two guide rods parallel to the piston that keep the head from twisting as it extends and retracts.
The magnetic piston inside these slides can activate relays and controllers when used with a sensor (not included). When the piston moves past the sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—attach one for each action to trigger.

Dust-Resistant Air Slides
Move grippers, printing heads, and other devices in areas constantly exposed to dust and powders as fine as flour. These slides last up to six times longer than standard air slides in extremely dirty, dusty environments, such as ceramics and paper manufacturing facilities. They have scrapers that wipe the rods clean and lubricant retainers that block particles. The air slide guide rods keep the head from twisting as it extends and retracts for steadier motion than air cylinders. They also have a larger mounting area, which makes it easier to mount devices you want to actuate to the end of the slide.
The piston is magnetic, so you can use these slides with sensors (sold separately) to activate relays and controllers. When the piston moves past a sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—one for each action you want to trigger.
