Fluidic Cylinder

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluidic cylinder. This fluidic cylinder (10) is configured in such a manner that a piston unit (18) is received in an axially displaceable manner within a cylinder tube (12) formed in a rectangular cross sectional shape. The piston unit (18) has: a base body (50) having the front end (86) of a piston rod (20) staked thereto; a wear ring (52) having the base body (50) received therein and having a magnet (70) incorporated therein; and piston packing (54) adjacent to the wear ring (52). The piston unit (18) is integrally held at one end of the piston rod (20). The wear ring (52) and the piston packing (54) are formed in a rectangular cross sectional shape corresponding to the rectangular cross sectional shape of the cylinder tube (12) and are provided rotatable relative to the piston rod (20).
