A rodless pneumatic cylinder uses compressed air to produce linear motion without an external rod, featuring a magnetic or mechanical carriage that moves along the cylinder body. It falls under HTS 8412.31.00 as a linear acting pneumatic power cylinder designed for precise positioning in automation systems. The internal piston mechanism converts pneumatic energy into linear mechanical motion.
