New linear drives from Parker-Origa combine power, accuracy and flexibility

The P1Z Series incorporates proven Parker magnetic technology, with a stainless steel pneumatic cylinder body being fixed between two end plates. A hard anodised aluminium carriage is fitted to the
outside of the cylinder body, with both the carriage and the cylinder piston being magnetically coupled by means of annular magnets.

In the unguided version, the carriage is free to rotate around the cylinder, through a full 360°, with adjustable pneumatic end of stroke cushioning and air ports at both stroke ends. By comparison, the
guided version uses two rigid chrome plated steel guide rails, with optional magnetic sensors to ensure precise linear positioning, and can be fitted with elastomeric bumpers for light loads or hydraulic
shock absorbers for medium to heavy loads. In addition, this version can be supplied with air ports at just one end of the drive unit for optimum flexibility.

Both versions are ideal for horizontal or vertical mounting, are available with different mounting options, in bore sizes 16, 20, 25, 32 and 40mm and stroke lengths of up to 2,000mm. Their robust
stainless steel, chrome and aluminium construction makes them easy to maintain and suitable for use in a wide range of standard and harsh or corrosive industrial applications.
