Speedaire 6X389A Air Cylinder

Speedaire 6X389A Air Cylinder is a compact, double-acting pneumatic actuator designed for dependable linear motion in tight spaces. It features a tie-rod aluminum housing with a 2-1/2 in bore and a 4 in stroke, delivering smooth travel and repeatable force in automation tasks. The NFPA-compatible configuration supports easy mounting with standard end-plates and accessories, and its body includes tapped mounting holes to simplify installation in conveyors, fixtures, or presses where a compact form factor matters. Constructed from aluminum, the cylinder offers a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding industrial environments. While widely cataloged as part of Speedaire’s Grainger-distributed line, the 6X389A variant is listed as discontinued by the manufacturer, meaning current stock is typically sourced through secondary distributors or reclaimed inventories. This makes it a practical choice for upgrading or replacing existing installations where a 2-1/2 inch bore, 4 inch stroke double-acting cylinder with tie-rod mounting is required, especially in compact automation assemblies and other machinery that benefits from lightweight, durable pneumatic actuation. Standard compatibility with common pneumatic fittings and seals helps ensure straightforward integration with existing pneumatic manifolds and control systems.
