FAQs
The Lintra Plus line uses universal mounting grooves for simple frame attachment and easy integration with standard end blocks. For installers upgrading existing systems, verify compatibility with the M/46000 series and select mounting patterns that align with the workspace footprint and load direction.
Operating temperature ranges from -30 to 80 °C (-22 to 176 °F). Operating pressure spans 1 to 8 bar (15 to 116 psi), supporting typical factory air supply conditions for pneumatic cylinders.
Yes. With a 16 mm diameter and a 500 mm stroke within a compact housing, plus an external guide and universal mounting grooves, it fits in tight spaces while delivering precise, repeatable motion for pick-and-place and packing tasks.
The provided data does not list specific certifications. For compliance, refer to the official datasheet and datasheet PDFs, which typically cover CE, IP protection levels, and SIL considerations where applicable. Always confirm current certifications with the supplier prior to purchase.
Benefits include dust protection as standard, adjustable cushioning to minimize wear, and interchangeable compatibility with the M/46000 series, which simplifies spares management and reduces downtime. Combined with its lightweight aluminium housing and magnetic piston sensing, this leads to lower maintenance costs and faster mean time to repair in high-cycle applications.
