Pneumatic Cylinders

Pneumatic cylinders use compressed air to generate linear motion. They consist of a piston housed within a cylindrical chamber, connected to a rod that extends or retracts as air pressure is applied to the appropriate port. Commonly used in automation and manufacturing, they offer powerful and precise actuation for various tasks, such as lifting, pushing, or controlling mechanical arms.

Pneumatic ‘Rodless’ Cylinders

Pneumatic ‘rodless’ cylinders are advanced actuators that produce linear motion without an external piston rod. Instead, they use a sealed carriage that travels along the length of a cylinder, driven by compressed air.

This design provides a compact and efficient motion profile, eliminating the extra space required by traditional protruding rods. It’s ideal for applications with space constraints and long stroke lengths.

Hydraulic Cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders are robust actuators that generate linear force and motion with pressurized hydraulic fluid. They feature high power-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for lifting, pushing, and pulling heavy loads.
Parker Hydraulic Cylinder Actuators
CEA represents Parker, the world's largest manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders. They are available with several seal materials, up to 20” in diameter, and digital (or analog) positioning for any application.

Non-Linear Actuators

Most pneumatic actuators are linear (aka cylinders), however CEA has expertise with various other designs. Whether it’s for small automated equipment or a large machine, we have air motors, rotary actuators, guides, slides, wrist rotators, vacuum cups, and generators, and more!
