Pneumatic Linear Actuators
AGI has a full line of pneumatic linear actuators that are internally powered. The three styles are base slides, magnetically coupled rodless slides, thrusters and pneumatic actuators. The units provide smooth linear motion due to the precision ball bearings riding on hardened ground shafts. The aluminum body and end blocks contain tapped holes and dowel pin holes for precision mounting or fixturing.
Base Type
AGS base slides have a built in air cylinder that reduces the overall length or footprint of the unit. Bore sizes are .75 inch, 1 inch and 1.25 inch with stokes from 1 inch to 6 inch. This linear actuator is heavy duty industrial grade, the end blocks are bolted to the shafts. The air feed shaft is gun drilled hardened shafting material to prevent air leaks and extending service life. Bearings are precision linear sealed type for heavy loading and polycarbonate composite bearings are also available. Stroke adjustments are standard on both sides and are sensor and shock absorber ready.
| Push Force | Stroke Range | Weight | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | lbs | mm | in | kg | lbs | |
| AGS-4 | 111 | 25 | 12 to 100 | .50 to 4 | 1.6 | 3.5 |
| AGS-5 | 222 | 50 | 25 to 127 | 1 to 5 | 3.0 | 6.5 |
| AGS-6 | 355 | 80 | 25 to 153 | 1 to 6 | 5.5 | 12 |
Thruster Type
AGT Thruster linear actuator slides are powered by an external air cylinder and have an exclusive dual end plate system to keep the shafts from vibrating by making a rigid box frame. This linear actuator is heavy duty industrial grade, the end blocks are bolted to the shafts and the piston is never used as a stop. Bore sizes are 9/16 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 1/16 and 1 1/2 inch with stokes from 1 inch to 14 inch. Bearings are precision linear sealed type for heavy loading. Stroke adjustment shock absorber and sensors are optional.

| AGT-2 | 89 | 20 | 12 to 100 | .50 to 4 | .23 | 0.5 |
| AGT-3 | 196 | 44 | 25 to 152 | 1 to 6 | .70 | 1.5 |
| AGT-4 | 392 | 88 | 25 to 203 | 1 to 8 | 1.7 | 3.75 |
| AGT-5 | 1120 | 140 | 25 to 355 | 1 to 14 | 3.2 | 7.0 |
Long Stroke Rodless Base Type
The AGSL slide series have long strokes that are achieved by a magnetically coupled rodless air cylinder that drives the saddle. Bearings are precision linear sealed type for heavy loading ground shafts. Shock absorbers and stroke adjustments are standard on both ends, sensors are optional.
| Push Force | Stroke Range | Weight | |
|---|---|---|---|
| lbs | in | lbs | |
| AGSL-5 | 25 | 5 to 96 | 5.25 x .28 lbs/inch of stroke |
| AGSL-6 | 60 | 8 to 132 | 8.5 x .48 lbs/inch of stroke |
