TN32×20 Twin-Rod Pneumatic Cylinder – 32mm Bore × 20mm Stroke – Double Acting
The TN32×20 Twin-Rod Pneumatic Cylinder is a compact, heavy-duty double-acting pneumatic actuator designed for precise and stable linear movement in industrial automation, packaging machinery, positioning systems, clamping equipment and assembly applications.
Featuring a 32 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, the TN32×20 uses two Ø16 mm guide rods to provide high rigidity and excellent resistance to rotation. The twin-rod configuration helps maintain accurate alignment of the moving plate, making the cylinder suitable for applications requiring short, controlled and repeatable linear movement.
The cylinder operates using compressed air for both extension and retraction and provides approximately 56 kgf theoretical thrust at 0.5 MPa.

Double-Acting Operation
The TN32×20 uses two pneumatic ports to control movement in both directions. Compressed air supplied to one port causes the actuator to extend, while compressed 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 installed to regulate extension and retraction speed.
Installation Notes
Use clean, filtered compressed air with correctly sized fittings and tubing. Keep the cylinder properly aligned with the moving load and avoid excessive side loading.
