Rod-Style Pneumatic Linear Thrusters
Reliable Pneumatic Motion for Heavy Side-Loading Applications
Tolomatic rod-style pneumatic linear thrusters provide reliable linear motion for applications where the actuator must handle significant side loading. Their robust design makes them well suited for conveyor line stops, short-stroke lifting, positioning, and load-handling applications where stable, controlled movement is required.
These pneumatic thrusters provide a practical solution when equipment needs compact linear actuation with the ability to withstand lateral forces during operation.
Product Lineup
High-Force Guided Air Cylinders for Pick-and-Place and Material Handling
The Tolomatic Power-Block 2 guided air cylinder provides high-force pneumatic linear motion for applications requiring increased thrust and longer stroke lengths. With strokes up to 6 in. (154.2 mm) and thrusting capabilities exceeding 800 lb, the Power-Block 2 is designed for demanding pick-and-place, material handling, lifting, and automated positioning applications. Its guided construction provides stable, controlled movement, while multiple bearing, bore, and switch options make it easier to match the actuator to specific load and control requirements.
- High thrust capability exceeding 800 lb for demanding pneumatic applications
- Stroke lengths up to 6 in. (154.2 mm) for increased linear travel
- Choice of linear ball or composite bearings for different application requirements
- Six bore sizes to provide a wide range of pneumatic force outputs
- Reed, Hall-effect, or Triac switches for position sensing and automation control
- Designed for pick-and-place and material handling equipment
- Suitable for lifting, positioning, and short-stroke pneumatic automation

Compact Pneumatic Linear Thruster for Short-Stroke Applications
The Tolomatic Power-Block pneumatic linear thruster provides compact, guided pneumatic motion for short-stroke positioning, stopping, lifting, and material handling applications. Two precision steel guide rods with composite bearings provide positive load support and stable linear movement, making the Power-Block suitable for applications where the actuator must handle supported loads during operation. Its low-profile aluminum construction allows it to fit into space-constrained machine designs and operate independently or alongside other Tolomatic linear actuators.
- Force output up to 120 lb (534 N) for short-stroke pneumatic applications
- Maximum stroke of 3 in. (76 mm) for compact linear motion
- Two precision steel guide rods provide stable load support
- Composite bearings deliver guided, low-friction movement
- Lightweight extruded aluminum construction provides a durable, low-profile design
- Stop collar/bumper kit available for controlled end-of-stroke stopping
- Dual tooling plates available for flexible load and tooling attachment
- Switch options for position sensing and automation control
- Can be used independently or with other Tolomatic linear actuators
