Description
Artec PSM 040 070 GS Z ISO 21287 compact cylinder specifications
Artec PSM 040 070 GS Z is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder configured as a single-acting front-spring version. The code specifies an alternative male rod option and standard seals. Its 40 mm bore and 70 mm stroke distinguish its force class and axial travel within the ISO 21287 compact body range.

Product category: Pneumatic Cylinders / Series P ISO 21287
Construction and operation
This 40 mm bore, 70 mm stroke front-spring version uses an alternative male rod option with standard seals. Series P follows ISO 21287 compact-cylinder dimensions and uses an anodised aluminium profile with sensor mounting slots. Its magnetic piston can be monitored with a separately selected compatible sensor. The front spring provides return movement in this single-acting model. Check spring force and rest position for the intended sequence.
Performance and selection
The 70 mm movement uses a front spring to return the 40 mm piston; spring force and available supply pressure both matter when sizing a load. Artec PSM 040 070 GS Z is rated for 2 to 10 bar working pressure with filtered compressed air. Spring location determines the unloaded rod position after air is removed; assess that position against the machine cycle. GS identifies the standard seal execution; this code does not specify high-temperature seals. This bore and stroke pairing is absent from the current standard-stroke table; verify supply details. The Z rod option has its own connection geometry. Match the mating hardware to this specific version instead of relying on the standard F or M rod drawing.

Lead Time
Product Availability
We work with a wide network of trusted manufacturers and suppliers to offer a comprehensive range of industrial components and systems. Many popular items are held in stock and available for prompt dispatch. These products are supplied directly from our UK facilities where possible to minimise lead times.
Order In and Made to Order Items
Some specialist products are not held as off the shelf stock. These items are ordered directly from the manufacturer and may be produced to order or configured for specific applications. As a result, lead times can be longer than standard stocked products, particularly for low volume or unique items. Lead times will vary depending on supplier schedules and production requirements.
Lead Times and Order Updates
For all order in products, we aim to provide clear lead time information at the point of order or shortly afterwards. Our team will keep you informed throughout the process and will advise if supplier lead times change. If you have a time critical requirement, we recommend contacting us before placing your order so we can confirm availability.
Delivery Charges
Additional delivery charges may apply to large orders, oversized items, palletised shipments, or deliveries outside the UK mainland including remote locations. Our sales team can confirm any applicable charges either before or after your order is placed to ensure full transparency.
Availability and Lead Time Enquiries
For the latest information on product availability and current lead times, please contact our team directly. We will confirm stock status, supplier lead times, and delivery expectations to support your ordering decision. You can email info@aegroup.uk.com or call +44 (0)1342 826488 to speak with a member of our team who can assist with your enquiry.
More Than Components
Experts you can trust. Technologies you can depend on.
Air Engineering Group is more than a component supplier. We operate as an engineering partner supporting customers from concept through to long term operation. Our role extends beyond product supply into system design, integration, build, installation, and lifecycle support. This approach allows us to solve complex technical challenges while improving reliability, efficiency, and operational assurance across demanding industrial environments.
Our OEM Fluid Technology Division focuses on engineered solutions for original equipment manufacturers. We support customers with design input, component selection, manifold assemblies, sub assemblies, and fully integrated pneumatic and fluid systems. Working closely with OEM teams, we help reduce complexity, improve performance, and accelerate development while maintaining consistency from prototype through to production.
The Compressed Air and Gas Division delivers complete compressed air and gas solutions for industrial and commercial applications. This includes system design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, servicing, and ongoing maintenance. By taking responsibility for the full system, we help customers improve uptime, control energy use, and protect critical assets throughout their operational life.
Our Pneumatic and Fluid Product Division provides a comprehensive range of valves, actuators, regulators, filtration, fittings, and control components. Supported by in house technical expertise, this division ensures customers specify the correct products for their application while benefiting from reliable supply and informed engineering support. Together, these three divisions position us as a complete engineering solutions provider rather than a simple distributor.
Our approach to business is built around a clear customer first focus supported by engineering integrity and accountability. We take time to understand each application, operating environment, and performance requirement before recommending or designing a solution. This ensures customers receive systems and components that deliver reliability, efficiency, and long term value rather than short term fixes. Through clear communication, responsive support, and consistent technical standards, we build trusted partnerships that prioritise uptime, risk reduction, and operational confidence.

Applications & Integrations
Applications
Artec PSM 040 070 GS Z is a 40 mm bore by 70 mm stroke Series P ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a male rod connection for space-limited fixtures, compact transfer tooling or short-travel positioning. The 70 mm travel determines the mechanical reach, while available load force depends on the 40 mm bore and the air pressure actually delivered to the actuator. The front spring provides the spring-return part of the cycle; the driven position and available spring force must match the machine sequence. Manufacturing and packaging equipment can use this type of cylinder to position, transfer or retain a guided part when the required movement and space match this version. This alternative rod-end execution differs from the standard female or male version; its exact fitting geometry must be selected from the Artec drawing.
Integrations
Connect the 40 mm bore PSM 040 070 GS Z, with its GS seal execution and male rod connection, at its G1/8 air ports to a filtered compressed-air circuit that controls its single powered stroke and spring-return rest position, with a front spring. Use its standard compact mounting envelope to position the mounting and leave enough clearance for its 70 mm stroke and any moving linkage. The alternative rod-end option has separate attachment dimensions; do not assume the standard M or F mating part fits. GS standard seals require the standard published operating environment and must not be treated as a high-temperature option. This bore and stroke pairing is outside the listed standard stroke table; confirm the supply configuration.
