The 16 mm bore cylinder from the Lintra series delivers a compact footprint without compromising stroke. This smaller geometry reduces machine footprint, enables tighter mounted assemblies, and minimizes enclosure penetrations, simplifying wiring and protection. The result is easier system integration and faster changeovers on high-speed lines. It is ideal for pick-and-place heads, clamping stations, and small-part handling in packaging and assembly applications. Lintra series design emphasizes reliable, repeatable actuation and consistent wear characteristics. The improved piston sealing and bore finish support stable motion across varying loads, reducing cycle time variability. These benefits translate to higher throughput and lower scrap rates in automated assembly cells, packaging lines, and testing rigs that demand precision over long production runs. Brand alignment with IMI Norgren delivers access to standard spare parts, documented service channels, and broad OEM compatibility. This reduces total cost of ownership by shortening downtime for maintenance and enabling easier retrofits into existing equipment. In practice, you gain better uptime, predictable maintenance windows, and faster procurement cycles for replacement components across multiple manufacturing environments. Centre-support integration provides stable alignment under side loads and improved positioning accuracy. This reduces seal wear and piston tilting during high-load cycles, extending service life and reducing rework. Applications include end-of-arm tooling, fixture actuation, and compact clamping fixtures where precision and reliability directly affect yield and cycle repeatability. Installation versatility and mounting compatibility support rapid commissioning and scalable automation. With standard ISO patterns and recognized Norgren mounting options, technicians can swap cylinders with minimal downtime and test quickly under production conditions. The result is smoother deployments, simplified maintenance planning, and a robust path to upgrading legacy lines to Lintra-based actuation.
