Industrial AVF138X1 Pneumatic Cylinder Actuator

The PHD Inc. AVF138X1 is a compact, tie-rod style pneumatic cylinder that converts filtered compressed air into controlled linear motion for positioning, clamping, and actuation in automation systems. This double-acting AVF-series actuator features a 1-3/8 in bore and a 1 in stroke (X1 designation, series dependent), with mounting dictated by industrial standard cylinder mounts. The piston rod is hardened steel, the body is aluminum alloy with steel end caps, and industrial elastomer seals handle the sealing needs. End-of-stroke cushioning is model dependent, and the operating range supports industrial pneumatic supply pressures up to 150 psi. Designed for factory environments, it is commonly used in packaging machinery, conveyor systems, assembly equipment, and other OEM lines and material handling setups where repeatable motion control and a compact form factor are required. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this cylinder for equipment repair, replacement of worn pneumatic actuators, retrofits, and system upgrades, making AVF138X1 a suitable option when upgrading or replacing existing actuators. It operates on filtered compressed air and is intended for continuous-duty industrial use, aligned with the AVF family’s emphasis on durability and fast cycle times.
