• ATEX Version: For use in potentially explosive atmospheres (Equipment Group II, Category 2 GD), conforming to ATEX 94/9/EG for Pneumatic Components.
• Stainless Steel Version: For use in constantly damp or wet environments. All screws are A2 quality stainless steel.
• Slow Speed Version: Specially formulated grease lubrication for smooth, uniform travel from 0.005 to 0.2 m/s.
• High Speed Version: Capable of speeds up to 30 m/s (Bore sizes Ø25 – 32 mm, consult technical department).
• High Temperature Version: For environments up to +120°C or chemically aggressive areas. All seals are Viton®; sealing bands are stainless steel.
• Low Temperature Version: For use in environments down to -40°C.
• End Face Air Connection: Special end cap with air connection on the end-face, rotatable 4 x 90° (Bore sizes Ø16 – 80 mm).
• Both Air Connections at One End: Special end cap for simplified installation in tight spaces (Bore sizes Ø16 – 80 mm).
• Integrated 3/2 Way VOE Valves: Compact solution integrated into end caps for optimal control, easy positioning, smooth low-speed operation, and fast response (Bore sizes Ø25 – 50 mm).
• Duplex Connection: Combines two OSP-P cylinders of the same size into a compact, high-performance unit (Bore sizes Ø25 – 50 mm).
• Multiplex Connection: Combines two or more OSP-P cylinders of the same size; carrier orientation is freely selectable (Bore sizes Ø25 – 50 mm).
• Tandem Cylinder: Two pistons fitted for higher load capacity and increased support.
• Inversion Mounting: Transfers driving force to the opposite side, e.g., for dirty environments (Bore sizes Ø16 – 80 mm).
• Variable Stop VS Version: Provides simple stroke limitation (Bore sizes Ø25 – 50 mm).
• Intermediate Stop Module ZSM: Cost-effective, non-electrical module for high-accuracy intermediate positioning; can be retrofitted.

Comprehensive Guide Options

The OSP-P’s modularity extends to its wide array of guide options:

• Basic Guide Version: Integrated directly into the cylinder profile tube, offering a compact, durable guide for maximum load values with simple play adjustment (Bore sizes Ø25 – 50 mm, ATEX Version available).
• Slideline Version: Cost-effective plain bearing guide for moderate loads. Optional active/passive brake (Bore sizes Ø16 – 80 mm, ATEX version available).
• Powerslide Version: Roller guide for heavy loads and demanding application conditions (Bore sizes Ø16 – 50 mm).
• Proline Version: Compact aluminum roller guide for high loads and velocities. Optional active/passive brake (Bore sizes Ø16 – 50 mm).
• Starline Version: Recirculating ball bearing guide for very high loads and precision (Bore sizes Ø16 – 50 mm).
• KF Guide Version: Recirculating ball bearing guide for high loads and precision, with dimensions corresponding to FESTO DGPL-KF type (Bore sizes Ø16 – 50 mm).
• HD Heavy Duty Guide Version: Recirculating ball bearing guide for the highest loads and greatest accuracy (Bore sizes Ø25 – 50 mm).

Mounting & Accessories

• Magnetic Switches (type RST, EST): For electrical sensing of end and intermediate piston positions, including EX-Areas.
• Clevis Mounting: Carrier with tolerance and parallelism compensation for driving loads supported by external linear guides.
• End Cap Mounting: For end-mounting of the cylinder.
• Mid-Section Support: Required for long strokes and/or applied loads to prevent excessive bending and oscillation. Clamped onto the dovetail profile, also capable of taking axial forces.
