Feature: Lightweight extrusion with universal mounting grooves → Business Impact: Simplifies OEM integration, reduces weight by using an anodised aluminium barrel, and enables quick reconfiguration across multiple layouts → Application: New machine builds or retrofits in packaging lines where space is constrained and changeovers are frequent. Feature: External guiding system → Business Impact: Improves positional accuracy and minimizes side loading, extending cylinder life in high-cycle operations → Application: Pick-and-place and conveyor-based automation with tight tolerances. Feature: Adjustable cushioning → Business Impact: Reduces impact damage and vibration, lowering maintenance needs and downtime → Application: High-speed indexing and insertion tasks in busy production floors. Feature: Magnetic piston + switch compatibility → Business Impact: Facilitates reliable position sensing with minimal wiring, enabling straightforward PLC integration → Application: Robotic cells and control architectures using reed switch sensing. Feature: Durable materials (anodised aluminium, polyurethane seals, nitrile seals) → Business Impact: Enhanced corrosion resistance and seal longevity, lowering total cost of ownership in damp or washdown environments → Application: Food-and-beverage, automotive, and metal fabrication settings. Feature: 1–8 bar operating pressure and -30 to 80 °C range → Business Impact: Broad environmental tolerance reduces the need for multiple SKUs → Application: Varied facilities with temperature swings or compressed air supply variations. Feature: Interchangeability with M/46000 series → Business Impact: Simplifies spare parts and stocking, shortening maintenance cycles → Application: Multi-line factories where compatibility across families is beneficial.

FAQs
The unit uses universal mounting grooves and an external guiding system, allowing straightforward integration into multiple layouts. It is compatible with standard 20 mm bore configurations and a G1/8 port, supporting quick changes and interchangeability with related Lintra Plus components, such as the M/46000 series, to fit existing lines and spare part inventories.
Adjustable cushioning dampens piston impact, reducing vibration and wear on end supports and guides. This translates to smoother operation, longer seal and guide life, and less downtime during high-speed indexing or insertion tasks, improving cycle consistency and overall line throughput in packaging and assembly applications.
Yes, the Lintra Plus design includes a dust-protected sealing system and rugged construction with anodised aluminium and nitrile/polyurethane seals. While specific IP ratings are not listed here, the combination of protective features and robust materials supports reliable operation in moderately harsh factory environments; verify exact environmental ratings in the official datasheet.
Recommended fittings include Pneufit C push-in adapters such as C0K510618, C02250618, and C02470618 for 6 mm tubing and G1/8 ports. The system is compatible with magnetic sensing options like M/50/LSU/5V switches for easy PLC integration. For fluid connections, ensure matching 6 mm tubing with the G1/8 port to maintain leak-free operation.
Key ROI drivers include longer service life from dust protection, adjustable cushioning to reduce premature wear, and interchangeability with related series to simplify spares. Regular inspection of seals (polyurethane and nitrile), guides, and the external rail is advised. A compact footprint and lower maintenance needs help reduce downtime and total cost of ownership in mid-volume packaging lines.
