Parker Hannifin 01.12CPLU16C Pneumatic Cylinder

Parker Hannifin 01.12CPLU16C Pneumatic Cylinder is a compact linear actuator designed for use in pneumatic automation. It features a 1.5-inch bore, which determines the piston area, a 3/8-inch rod diameter, and a 6-inch stroke that sets the travel length of the piston. The cylinder is rated for up to 150 psi, suitable for standard industrial compressed-air systems. The part number 01.12CPLU16C uniquely identifies this unit within Parker Hannifin’s catalog, ensuring precise replacement and compatibility with Parker’s mounting schemes and fittings used in cylinder assemblies. This specification set supports straightforward integration into automated cycles requiring predictable, repeatable linear motion over a 6-inch travel. The 3/8-inch rod diameter provides a modest load-carrying capability compatible with many light-to-medium actuation tasks, while the 1.5-inch bore balances compact size with piston area for practical force output at the rated pressure. For engineers, this cylinder offers a clear, standardized footprint and flow characteristics typical of Parker pneumatic cylinders, making it a common choice for compact automation tasks on assembly lines, clamps, and positioners where space is at a premium.
