Velvac 100126 Air Cylinder — 2 1/2 in Bore

The Velvac 100126 is a single-acting air cylinder built with an aluminium body and a magnetic piston. It mounts via a clevis and uses a 1/4 in female NPT inlet. The non-repairable design makes it a fit-and-forget component for linear motion tasks in pneumatic systems.

6 in stroke and 120 psi rating

A 6 in stroke provides usable extension for medium-reach clamping, lifting or pushing jobs. The cylinder operates up to 120 psi and 185 °F, so it handles typical shop air supplies and warm environments. Spring retraction force of 483 lb sets the practical return limit; loads above that will not fully retract.

Single-acting with spring return

This cylinder extends on air pressure and retracts by internal spring force alone. It suits applications where powered extension is needed but a separate return line is impractical. It will not work for tasks requiring controlled or powered retraction, nor for double-acting circuits.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/4 in NPT inlet on this cylinder connect directly to the fittings on my existing compressor?

The cylinder uses a 1/4 in female NPT inlet, so it will thread onto standard male NPT fittings already on your compressor or hose without adapters.

How can I confirm the magnetic piston is functioning once the cylinder is pressurised?

Mount a magnetic reed switch on the cylinder body; the switch will change state as the piston travels its 6 in stroke, giving a clear signal that the magnet is working.

Does the Velvac 100126 ship with mounting brackets or a clevis pin, or must I source them separately?

The cylinder has a clevis mount built into the body, but the mating bracket and clevis pin are not included and must be purchased separately.
