0208-518 – Chicago Dryer Rodless Air Cylinder, 18 mm Bore x 14″ Stroke

The 0208-518 Rodless Air Cylinder is a pneumatic linear actuator used in Chicago Dryer flatwork ironer and folder assemblies where extended stroke travel is required without the space limitations of a traditional rod-style cylinder. The 18 mm bore provides controlled actuation force, and the 14″ stroke supports longer carriage or positioning movements within compact machine frames.

Rodless cylinders are typically installed in rail-guided or carriage-driven mechanisms where synchronized motion and reduced envelope size are critical. Proper bore sizing and stroke length must match the existing mechanical load and air pressure to maintain timing and repeatable positioning.

Maintenance Tip: Inspect carriage seals and guide surfaces during replacement to prevent air leakage and uneven travel.

CICUS supplies precision-matched pneumatic motion components for commercial flatwork systems with field-verified compatibility.
