SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of linear-acting pneumatic power engines & motors (cylinders) (SITC 71892) totaled $29.2M in April 2026, traded with 47 countries.
Importers of Linear-Acting Pneumatic Power Engines & Motors (Cylinders) paid $2.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $18.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPneumatic cylinders convert compressed-air pressure into linear mechanical motion and are foundational components in factory automation, packaging lines, and material-handling systems. Unlike rotary pneumatic motors, linear-acting units are classified distinctly under SITC 71892, a distinction that matters when reconciling shipments against HTS schedules or statistical reporting. Importers sourcing these cylinders should verify bore diameter, stroke length, and operating pressure ratings, as these specifications often determine whether a unit is classified as a cylinder or as part of an assembly.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Linear-acting units produce reciprocating straight-line motion via a piston or diaphragm driven by compressed air, whereas rotary pneumatic motors produce continuous shaft rotation. This functional distinction is the key classification boundary under SITC 71892 versus other pneumatic motor categories.
Importers should document bore diameter, stroke length, maximum operating pressure (in bar or PSI), port size, and mounting configuration. These technical parameters support correct HTS classification and help resolve any CBP inquiries about whether the unit is a standalone cylinder or part of a larger assembly.
