STAINLESS STEEL SERIES:
Type 304 Stainless Steel cylinder body manufactured to special mill specifications
and tolerances to insure a long cylinder life.
ALUMINUM SERIES:
Cylinder body of hard coating I.D. Aluminum Tubing has extreme hardness, excellent
wear and seizure resistance, low coefficient of friction and high corrosion
resistance.
STAINLESS STEEL ROD:
Ground & Polished Type 303 Stainless Steel rods are standard on all models.
All rods have wrench flats and stress relief grooves (9/16" bore excluded).
PISTON ROD ASSEMBLY:
Piston Rods are threaded, anaerobically sealed, and machine staked into the
piston for triple protection.

High strength aluminum alloy.
MAGNET FOR SENSING SWITCH ACTUATION:
Internal magnet specially designed for use with American Reed or Hall Effect
Switches.
SPRINGS:
Springs for spring action cylinders are made from music wire and designed
for millions of cycles. Special spring forces are available.
ROD GUIDE BUSHING:
Standard on all models. The oil impregnated sintered bronze bushing increases
the life of the cylinder rod and provides a non-abrasive bearing surface.
BUNA-N U-CUP ROD & PISTON SEALS:
U-Cup seals provide low breakaway friction and maximize cylinder life expectancy.
Standard Buna-N seals are recommended for operating temperatures of -20oF
(-25oC) to 200oF (95oC). Fluoroelastomer
seals are available upon request.
PIVOT PIN/PIVOT BUSHING:
