Parker Hannifin 40CFMRCDU6.000 Rodless Cylinder

The Parker Hannifin 40CFMRCDU6.000 is a high-performance rodless pneumatic cylinder designed for linear motion applications in industrial automation, material handling, and packaging systems. Featuring a magnetically coupled design, it eliminates the need for external rods, reducing space requirements and minimizing potential leak points compared to traditional rod-style cylinders. This model offers a 40mm bore size with a 6-inch stroke, providing smooth, precise movement suitable for high-speed operations. Key benefits include low friction for energy efficiency, integrated cushioning to reduce impact, and robust construction for durability in harsh environments. It supports loads up to 1000 N and operates at pressures up to 8 bar, making it ideal for pick-and-place tasks or conveyor systems. Drawbacks may include higher initial cost versus basic cylinders and the need for clean air supply to prevent contamination. Compared to competitors like Festo or SMC rodless models, Parker's version excels in customization options and reliability, with easy integration into existing pneumatic systems. Based on provided images, the unit appears new, still in original plastic wrapping, with no visible wear or damage. Serial number KW638126A is visible on the faceplate, manufactured in Wadsworth, OH, USA. No parent/child assets are evident in images.
