Corrosion Resistant CR Series

Home Products Non-Repairable Corrosion Resistant CR Series

Harsh Environments Pneumatic  Cylinders

In harsh industrial settings such as food and beverage or marine applications, pneumatic cylinders are often exposed to moisture. Without proper protection, this can lead to rapid wear and malfunctions in machine parts, resulting in increased maintenance, replacement expenses, and downtime. Opting for a durable and corrosion-resistant cylinder, such as our CR Series, will effectively shield your equipment from corrosion. 

American's Original Series and All Stainless CR® air cylinders are built to endure exposure to a variety of moisture, lubricants, and specific solvents. These corrosion-resistant air cylinders are constructed with major components made of acetal resin and stainless steel. The available bore sizes include 9/16", 3/4", 1-1/16", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2" (exclusive to Original Series), and 3" (exclusive to All Stainless Series). Explore the versatility of our corrosion-resistant (CR) air cylinders, available in various types to meet your specific needs.

STANDARD FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Original CR Series

1

Stainless Steel Cylinder Body

Type 304 Stainless Steel manufactured to special mill specifications and tolerances to insure a long cylinder life.

2

Stainless Steel Rod

Ground & Polished Type 303 Stainless Steel rods are standard. All rods have wrench flats and stress relief grooves.

3

Piston Rod Assembly

Piston rods are threaded, anaerobically sealed, and machine staked into the piston for triple protection.

4

End Caps & Piston

Made of acetal resin, a crystalline thermoplastic co-polymer made by the polymerization of formaldehyde.

5

Springs

Springs for spring action cylinders are made from stainless steel and designed for millions of cycles. Special spring forces are available.

6

Buna-N U-Cup Rod & Piston Seals

Pressure energized lip type seals provide low breakaway friction and maximize cylinder life expectancy. Standard Buna-N seals are recommended for operating temperatures of -20°F (-25°C) to 200°F (95°C). FDA approved seals are available as a standard Option (-35). Additional special seal compounds and lubricants are available upon request

7

Rod Seal

Precision machined rod seal groove provides a smooth sealing surface while positively retaining the seal without requiring additional components and relying on press fit containment.

8

Prelubricated

All cylinders are factory lubricated with a special high endurance oil mixture. FDA approved lubrication is standard with the FDA seal Option (-35).

9

Pre-Tested

The quality of each cylinder is assured by testing each unit for leakage prior to shipment. Quality control provides added value to American cylinders

Rod/Pivot Bushings:

All bushings used are an FDA complaint composite material. They are compatible with all seal/lubrication options.

6

Buna-N U-Cup Rod & Piston Seals

Pressure energized lip type seals provide low breakaway friction and maximize cylinder life expectancy. Standard Buna-N seals are recommended for operating temperatures of -20°F (-25°C) to 200°F (95°C). FDA approved seals are available as a standard Option (-35).

7

Urethane Wiper Seal

Precision machined rod seal groove provides a smooth sealing surface while positively retaining the seal without requiring additional components and relying on press fit containment.

8

Piston

Pistons are made of a high strength aluminum alloy. Note: Pistons on double rod end models are a brass alloy material.

9

Prelubricated

All cylinders are factory lubricated with an FDA approved grease as standard. A high temp grease is substituted when the high temp FKM seal option (-31) is selected.
