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, and thruster 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 Slide

    Base Slide

    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 suitable for heavy loading. Polycarbonate composite bearings are also available. Stroke adjustments are standard on both sides and are sensor and shock absorber ready.
    Push Force (N) Push Force (lbs) Stroke Range (mm) Stroke Range (in) Weight (kg) Weight (lbs)
    AGS-4 Powered Slide 1112512 to 100.50 to 41.63.5
    AGS-5 Powered Slide 2225025 to 1271 to 53.06.5
    AGS-6 Powered Slide 3558025 to 1531 to 65.512
  • Long Stroke Rodless Base Type

    Long Stroke Rodless Base Type

    The AGSL slide series have long strokes that are achieved by utilizing 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 (lbs) Stroke Range (in) Weight (lbs)
    AGSL-5 Powered Slide 255 to 965.25x.28 lbs/inch of stroke
    AGSL-6 Powered Slide 608 to 1328.5x.48 lbs/inch of stroke
  • Thruster Slide

    Thruster Slide

    AGT Thruster linear actuator slides are powered by an external air cylinder and have an exclusive dual end plate creating a rigid box frame design that minimizes mounting plate vibration. The end blocks are bolted to the support shafts resulting in a heavy duty industrial grade design. Since the piston is never used as a hard stop, service life has be greatly extended. 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.
    Push Force (N) Push Force (lbs) Stroke Range (mm) Stroke Range (in) Weight (kg) Weight (lbs)
    AGT-2 Powered Slide Linear Thruster 892012 to 100.50 to 4.230.5
    AGT-3 Powered Slide Linear Thruster 1964425 to 1521 to 6.701.5
    AGT-4 Powered Slide Linear Thruster 3928825 to 2031 to 31.73.75
    AGT-5 Powered Slide Linear Thruster 112014025 to 3551 to 14327.0
