Material And Design Specifications

Tube:

6063-T832 grade aluminum alloy with hard coated I.D. This anodic coating provides extreme hardness, excellent wear, low coefficient of friction, and high corrosion resistance to ensure longer, trouble-free cycle life.

Head and Cap:

Precision machined from extruded 6061-T6 grade aluminum alloy. Hard coated as standard on 1 1/2" through 5" bores. (Optional on 6" and 8" bores.)

Piston Rod:

Hard chrome plated steel ground and polished to a smooth finish.

Tie Rods:

High strength 1215 grade zinc clear chromate plated steel.

Rod Bushing:

Continuous cast SAE 660 grade bronze bushing is piloted into the head and is securely held in with an aluminum retaining plate (1 1/2" through 5" bores) to provide maximum load bearing support.

Piston:

High grade aluminum alloy.

Piston Seals:

Block-Vee type, Buna N material is furnished as standard.

Piston Bearing Strip:

A low friction, dimensionally stable nylon wear band constitutes an excellent bearing surface.

Rod Seal:

Block-Vee type is self-adjusting to ensure proper seal.

Rod Wiper:

Lip type urethane seal cleans piston rod and prevents foreign particles from entering cylinder.

Cushion:

Self-adjusting urethane cup moves into the head/cap to insure a positive seal and allows air to meter across the cushion screw. This method provides a fast breakaway and more precise adjustment. (Optional)

Tube Seal:

Buna N "O" ring in head and cap provides tight seal.
