Double-acting pneumatic air cylinders

From chemical processing to food packaging, API UK distributes multi-purpose double-acting cylinders to suit countless industry types. We supply UK businesses with our popular ISO 15552 and ISO 6432 double-acting pneumatic cylinders, as well as stainless steel round double-acting, compact, short-stroke and rodless air cylinders to name but a few.

ISO double-acting pneumatic cylinders

Our double-acting ISO 15552 pneumatic cylinders are the flagship API UK product, available as same-day build cylinders on request. ISO 15552 double-acting cylinders from API UK extend to our AMT, AMA, BMT and BMA models. These magnetic ISO double-acting cylinders feature bore lengths of 32mm to 125mm, stroke lengths of 10mm to 2500mm and standard temperature ratings of -20 °C to +80°C.

Primary features of ISO 15552 double-acting cylinders are their heavy-duty flat heads and clean design for use in hygienic operations. Designed for use with compressed filtered air with or without lubrication, these ISO double-acting air cylinders can be customised with an extensive selection of options. These include, but are not limited to FKM or NBR seals, rod customisation, adjustable cushioning, alternating tandems and stainless steel components.

ISO 6432 cylinders from API UK can also be manufactured as double-acting pneumatic cylinders. Our MDMX and MDMXA models are magnetic double-acting ISO air cylinders, which can be supplied with or without adjustable cushioning. Featuring shorter bore lengths of 16mm to 25mm, they feature higher maximum stroke lengths of up to 1000mm, as well as perfect tightening and nitrile rubber cushioning.

Stainless steel double-acting cylinders

Stainless steel double-acting pneumatic cylinders from API UK extend to both compact and round cylinder types. Complying with ISO 21287 standards, our stainless steel compact double-acting air cylinders include the CIX model with female thread and CIXN with anti-rotating characteristics. Both compact stainless steel double-ended cylinder models feature external tie-rods and round tubes.

API UK’s stainless steel round cylinders feature a design that is specifically manufactured to prevent impurities within applications. Fully manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel, our RXD series double-acting pneumatic cylinders feature smooth-surfaced bodies which remove the possibility of dirt within cavities.

As such, these double-acting air cylinders are ideally suited for industries that require maximum hygiene, such as food production and medical, as well as corrosive environments such as chemicals and oil and gas. Additionally, API UK can provide stainless steel double-acting round cylinders that do not conform to ISO standards, available as either magnetic, non-magnetic or magnetic with adjustable cushioning on both ends.
