MEDAN is a German family company founded in 1990 in Bempflingen near Reutlingen, where it still has its headquarters and production plant. It makes pneumatic and electric drives: rodless cylinders, rotary actuators, ISO cylinders, electric actuators, filters and regulators, fittings and pressure valves. Since 2016 it has worked with the Taiwanese Mindman group and has added part of its range to its own.
We offer MEDAN rodless cylinders in five series and connection fittings for PU vacuum suction cups. The carriage of a rodless cylinder runs directly along the profile and no rod extends, so the cylinder takes up up to half the space of a cylinder with a piston rod.
German family companyMEDAN rodless cylinder series
PL series
Basic cylinder with a flat carriage. For ordinary linear transfers without high side loads.
- bore 16 to 40 mm
- force 110 to 640 N at 6 bar
- temperature −10 to +80 °C
PLF series
Flat carriage for larger bores too. Double-acting cylinder with magnet up to 63 mm bore.
- bore 16 to 63 mm
- force up to 1,550 N at 6 bar
- temperature −10 to +80 °C
PLK series
Single-sided carriage guide. The guide increases resistance to side loads and the accuracy of travel.
- bore 16 to 63 mm
- carriage load up to 7,500 N
- force up to 1,550 N at 6 bar
PLS series
Double-sided carriage guide. A cylinder for smooth, accurate travel with guides on both sides.
- bore 32 to 63 mm
- force 420 to 1,550 N at 6 bar
- temperature −10 to +55 °C
DUO96 series
Two pistons for more force. A robust cylinder with twin pistons for heavier and uneven loads.
- bore 2× 16 to 2× 32 mm
- force 200 to 820 N at 6 bar
- carriage load up to 900 N
A cylinder also needs a valve, a position sensor and fittings. Cylinders with piston rods, sensors, mountings and shock absorbers are in the Cylinders and accessories category.

| DUO96 | two pistons | 2× 16–32 mm | 200–820 N | −10 to +80 °C |
All series are double-acting, with a magnet for a position sensor, for 0.5 to 8 bar. Profile, piston and end caps are aluminium, the sealing band is stainless steel.
How to choose a rodless cylinder
1. Force
Work out how much force the carriage must pull with. The force at 6 bar for each bore is in the table of the series.
2. Load and guide
When the carriage carries a load off-centre, the permitted load and moments decide. The guided PLK series carries far more on the carriage than PL and PLF.
3. Stroke
Choose the stroke as a product variant from 100 to 2,000 mm. The cylinder is only slightly longer than the stroke itself, nothing extends.
4. Valve and sensor
A double-acting cylinder is controlled by a 5/2 valve. A non-contact sensor reacting to the magnet in the piston monitors the carriage position.
Frequently asked questions
- How does a rodless cylinder work?
- The piston runs inside a slotted aluminium profile and pulls the carriage on the outside. A stainless steel band seals the slot, so the cylinder needs no piston rod.
- How much space does a rodless cylinder save?
- A cylinder with a rod needs space for the extended rod on top of its body length. A rodless cylinder has its carriage on the profile, so it takes up up to half the space.
- What is the difference between PLK and PLS?
- PLK has a single-sided guide for the carriage and bores of 16 to 63 mm. PLS has a double-sided guide, bores of 32 to 63 mm and works up to +55 °C. Permitted loads and moments are in the table of each series.
- How long can the stroke be?
- On our website you choose strokes from 100 to 2,000 mm. According to the tables in the series categories, most bores can be made with strokes up to 5,700 mm; send us a message.
- What are the MEDAN suction cup fittings for?
- The connection fitting joins a PU vacuum suction cup to the machine and seals the vacuum line. It has a female or male thread from M5 to 3/8″.
- Who makes MEDAN cylinders?
- The German company MEDAN GmbH, an owner-managed family business founded in 1990. Its headquarters and production are in Bempflingen near Reutlingen, where it makes the cylinders in its own plant. Since 2016 it has been a partner of the Taiwanese Mindman Industrial group.
Forces, moments and dimensions of each series are in the table in its category. PL, PLF, PLK, PLS and DUO96 are series designations of the manufacturer MEDAN.
