Description

Standard Features & Benefits

1. Cylinder Body:
Type 304 Stainless Steel tubing with strict specifications and tolerances to ensure longer cylinder life.

2. Piston Rod Assembly:
Ground & Polished Type 303 Stainless Steel piston rod with special accuracy specifications is threaded, anaerobically sealed and machine staked into the piston for triple protection.

3. Buna-N U-Cup Rod & Piston Seals:
U-Cup seals provide low breakaway friction and extended seal life. Standard Buna-N seals are recommended for operating temperatures of -20° F to 200° F. Fluoroelastomer seals are available for higher temperature applications. Additional special seal compounds and lubricants are available upon request.

4. Prelubricated:
All cylinders are factory lubricated with a special high endurance oil.

5. Magnetic Piston Band:
All units (except 5/16 bore) are provided with a magnetic piston band as standard for applications requiring position sensing. Solid State Switches and Reed Switches are available as accessory items.

6. End Caps:
High strength aluminium alloy

7. Guide Shafts:
Large diameter special accuracy Hard Chrome Plated Type 303 Stainless Steel shafts act as the inner race for the precision sleeve bearings and provide a rigid attachment for the tooling mounting bar.

8. Tooling Mounting Bar:
Sturdy aluminium alloy, machined top and front surfaces with standard tapped mounting holes. Special configurations available upon request

9. Floating Coupler:
Prevents cylinder rod binding ensuring longer life.

10. Shaft Bearings:
High performance Duralon® sleeve bearings have a composite inner liner of low-friction, self-lubricating fibres with a reinforced filamentwound Fibreglass and epoxy shell to provide smooth guided motion with high load carrying capabilities.

11. Mounting Holes:
Standard through mounting holes designed for standard cap screws. Alternative threaded mounting holes available as a standard option. (See Option “T” in Product Catalog)

12. Pre-Tested:
The quality of each assembly is assured by testing each unit for leakage and binding resistance prior to shipment.
