Anti-rotation when the cylinder must not rotate

When the piston rod of your cylinder must not rotate and your installation space is limited, cylinders with integrated anti-rotation functionality provide the ideal solution. Anti-rotation prevents rotation of the rod caused by loads applied to the cylinder. Q Plus therefore offers a wide range of anti-rotation cylinders, consisting of cylinders in various ISO standards and materials.

Twin-rod cylinders – synchronous movement of 2 piston rods

Twin-rod cylinders are used in applications requiring simultaneous and synchronous movement in two directions. These cylinders, with two parallel piston rods extending from either side of the cylinder housing, provide excellent balance and stability during operation.

They are often used in material handling machines, automation systems, and robotics, where precision and symmetrical positioning are crucial. Twin-rod cylinders ensure simultaneous actuation in both the forward and return stroke.
