The AVENTICS ZSC series of double-acting pneumatic slides have a unique placement of a ball rail system between the twin piston rods. The result is a very flat, low mount/low weight guide with high parallelism between the rail system and the piston rods. The variable stroke adjustment (on both ends) for different stroke lengths allows for faster, more flexible commissioning. The ZSC can be a component in the AVENTICS Easy-2-Combine pneumatic automation handling system with the use of a connection kit.
