Airtec - pneumatic components and control technology
Cylinders, valves and air preparation for industrial automation
Airtec is a German manufacturer of pneumatic components and supplies mechanical engineering, automation and plant engineering with cylinders, valves, air preparation and control technology. The programme is designed for rugged continuous duty applications and industrial standards.
The range covers ISO 15552 standard cylinders, compact and round cylinders, mounting accessories and safety technology. Many series follow international standard dimensions and are therefore easy to combine with existing plant and with components from other manufacturers.

Choosing the right Airtec cylinder
Design by installation situation
The design follows the available space and the task:
- ISO 15552 standard cylinders for standardised, interchangeable drives in mechanical engineering.
- Compact cylinders for short installed lengths in tight spaces.
- Round cylinders for simple, cost-effective feed and clamping tasks.
Piston diameter and stroke
The piston diameter determines the available force at a given operating pressure, the stroke determines the travel. Choose both parameters to suit the application. For long travel Airtec offers standard cylinders with strokes into the metre range.
Material and environment
In damp, hygiene-sensitive or corrosive environments a stainless steel version (e.g. material 1.4401) is recommended. For standard applications aluminium versions are sufficient. Matching swivel mountings ensure a connection that conforms to the standard.
Which cylinder design fits?
| Criterion | ISO 15552 standard cylinders | Compact cylinders | Round cylinders |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design | standard cylinder to ISO 15552 | short compact design | round design |
| Installed length | standardised, longer | particularly short | compact |
| Typical stroke | short to very long | short to medium | short to long |
| Interchangeability | to standard, across manufacturers | limited | limited |
| Material | aluminium or stainless steel | aluminium | aluminium |
| Typical application | general mechanical engineering | tight installation spaces | simple feed tasks |

Frequently asked questions about Airtec
What does Airtec manufacture?
Airtec is a German manufacturer of pneumatic components. The programme covers cylinders (standard cylinders to ISO 15552, compact and round cylinders), valves, air preparation, mounting accessories and safety technology for industrial automation.
Are Airtec cylinders interchangeable with other makes?
Cylinders to ISO 15552 follow standardised installation and port dimensions. This allows them to be integrated into existing plant and, in many cases, exchanged for cylinders to the same standard from other manufacturers.
Are Airtec cylinders available in stainless steel?
Yes. Selected series are available in a stainless steel version, among others in material 1.4401. These are suitable for damp, hygiene-sensitive or corrosive environments.
Which cylinder suits my application?
The choice follows the installation space and the task: standard cylinders to ISO 15552 for standardised drives, compact cylinders for short installed lengths and round cylinders for simple feed tasks. Piston diameter and stroke determine force and travel.
