Provides excellent characteristics against the hard coated I.D. cylinder body.
Seals
Piston and rod seals are of a U-Cup design for low friction with standard and magnetic field piston options. Air/Oil piston option adds a Quad-ring seal to the piston. Buna-N (B) material is standard, FKM (V) material should be used when high temp (over 200°F) or chemical resistance is required
Cast Iron Rod Bushing
Compatible with the hard chrome plated rod. Close grain cast iron bearing provides maximum wear resistance for long life.
Tie Rods
High strength steel to maintain compression on tube end seals
Tube End Seals
Fiber and nitrile base elastomer acting as a binder for positive sealing.
Quad Ring Wiper
Wipes the rod clean and keeps out contamination.
Factory Lubricated
Cylinder bodies are lubricated with Teflon-based compound.
