5D512.09
The B & R Automation 5D512.09 Double Acting Cylinder from the 5D5 Provit Interface Panels series is designed to deliver reliable linear motion in industrial automation systems. This pneumatic actuator features a robust 50 mm bore and operates at a maximum pressure of 10 bar, providing a balance of force and responsiveness for a variety of material handling and positioning tasks. Manufactured by B & R Automation, the 5D512.09 incorporates adjustable cushioning to ensure smooth deceleration at both end strokes, reducing mechanical shock and wear. With a rugged front flange mounting configuration, this cylinder can be installed reliably in both horizontal and vertical orientations. The compact design and a total weight of 2.1 kg facilitate integration into existing machine frames with minimal added mass.
The 5D512.09 cylinder’s critical dimensions and materials provide a foundation for predictable performance. The bore size of 50 mm and stroke length of 125 mm deliver a theoretical output force of up to 392 N at maximum operating pressure. The piston is constructed from lightweight aluminum, while the rod diameter of 20 mm is made of chrome plated steel to withstand side loads and maintain alignment under dynamic cycles. Seal material: Nitrile Rubber (NBR) ensures compatibility with standard industrial lubricants and resists wear over millions of cycles. The mounting type: front flange provides secure attachment points to support the actuator in confined spaces. Cushioning is fully adjustable, allowing fine-tuning of deceleration profiles at both ends of travel.
Operational reliability is further enhanced by a broad temperature rating from –20°C to +80°C, ensuring consistent actuation speed and seal longevity across challenging environmental conditions. The double acting design allows both extend and retract motions to be powered by the system’s compressed air supply, eliminating the need for external return springs and increasing cycle frequency potential. The cylinder’s internal cushion screws can be accessed without disassembly, simplifying in-field maintenance and performance optimization. Typical cycle rates up to 2 Hz are achievable when paired with appropriate valve sizing and clean, dry compressed air. The lightweight 2.1 kg assembly reduces inertial loads, contributing to energy-efficient motion control and lower bearing stress on guide rails.
System integrators will appreciate the 5D512.09’s compatibility with industry-standard pneumatic valves and fittings, as well as its straightforward front-flange footprint that matches existing mounting patterns. The durable materials and precise engineering make it suitable for applications in packaging machinery, pick-and-place systems, automated assembly lines, and general-purpose handling stations. The adjustable cushioning and wide temperature range enable deployment in high-speed sorting equipment, robotics end-of-arm tooling, and cold-storage processing environments. By combining the trusted quality of B & R Automation components with the flexibility of the 5D5 Provit Interface Panels series, users can achieve reliable, repeatable motion in demanding industrial scenarios.
