Parker 2.50NLP94.00 Rodless Air Cylinder 2.5 in Bore 4 in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER 2.50NLP94.00 is a double acting rodless air cylinder designed for linear motion applications in industrial pneumatic systems. It features a 2.5-inch bore and a 4-inch stroke, delivering reliable bidirectional force with a maximum working pressure of 250 psi. The cylinder body is constructed from aluminum with steel components, keeping weight low while maintaining structural integrity. A 1/4 NPT port provides standard pneumatic connections. At 5.375 inches overall length and 3.75 inches overall width, this unit fits into compact machine frames and automation assemblies. Licensed HVAC techs, millwrights, and industrial mechanics working on pneumatic automation lines are the primary installers of this component.

This cylinder suits industrial automation, material handling, and machine tool applications where a rod-style cylinder would interfere with the load path or create side-load concerns. The rodless design allows the load carriage to travel the full stroke length without extending beyond the cylinder envelope, making it well suited for space-constrained linear slides, pick-and-place fixtures, and conveyor diverters. Head or cap mounting style provides flexible integration into existing machine frames. No specific OEM system families are named in the available data.

Key Features

• Double acting operation provides powered force in both extend and retract directions
• 2.5-inch bore with 4-inch stroke for compact, moderate-force linear motion
• 250 psi maximum working pressure rated for standard industrial compressed air systems
• Aluminum body construction reduces overall assembly weight
• Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) seals for reliable air retention across typical shop-air temperature ranges
• 1/4 NPT port fits standard pneumatic fittings and manifold connections
• Head or cap mounting style supports flexible installation orientations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pneumatic cylinder for industrial automation equipment requiring a double acting rodless configuration with a 2.5-inch bore, 4-inch stroke, and 1/4 NPT porting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial mechanic or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic supply line before removing or installing any cylinder. Verify port alignment and fitting thread engagement before pressurizing to avoid air leaks. Consult applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures and local machinery safety codes before commencing work.
