TN16×50 Twin-Rod Pneumatic Cylinder – 16mm Bore × 50mm Stroke – Double Acting
The TN16×50 Twin-Rod Pneumatic Cylinder is a compact double-acting pneumatic actuator designed for accurate, stable linear movement in industrial automation, packaging equipment, positioning systems, assembly machinery and compact production applications.
Featuring a 16 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, the TN16×50 uses two Ø8 mm guide rods to improve rigidity and reduce rotation of the moving plate compared with a conventional single-rod cylinder. Its compact aluminium construction makes it particularly suitable where installation space is limited but controlled and repeatable movement is required.
Compressed air controls both extension and retraction, allowing positive movement in both directions.

Double-Acting Operation
The TN16×50 uses two pneumatic ports. Compressed air supplied to one port causes the actuator to extend, while air supplied to the opposite port causes it to retract.
A suitable pneumatic directional or solenoid valve can be used to control operation. Flow-control fittings may also be used to regulate extension and retraction speed.
Note: The TN16×50 dimensions above follow the same TN16-series configuration used for the previous TN16×20 reference. Critical dimensions should be verified on the actual TN16×50 product before fabrication or permanent installation.
