Product catalog summary
Overview: This document outlines the technical specifications and ordering information for Compact Select Cylinders in the Inch Series. It covers ordering guidelines, force and pressure ratings, mounting options, duty types, component descriptions, and available modifications.
How to Order: The ordering process involves selecting options such as magnetic piston, mounting style, bore size, stroke length, and additional features like double rod end and duty type. Specific codes are used for each option, and modifications are available for special requirements.
Forces and Pressure Ratings: Formulas for calculating force based on piston area and pressure are provided, along with pre-calculated force values for different bore sizes at pressures of 60, 80, and 100 PSI. Conversions for PSI to BAR and pounds to kilograms are included, as well as pressure ratings for pneumatic and hydraulic applications.
Mounting Options: Various mounting styles are available, including square, round, base-side, and thin-side mounts, each with specific ordering prefixes and suffixes for optional features. Optional port positions for base-side mounts are also detailed.
Duty Types: Cylinders are available in standard, heavy, and intermediate duty types, each with specific features like rod bearing length and piston thickness. Optional magnetic pistons are available for all duty types.
Component Descriptions: The document describes the materials and construction of cylinder components, emphasizing the use of high-grade materials for durability and performance.
Modifications: The document highlights the ability to modify standard products to meet unique application requirements, offering solutions for both simple and complex modifications.
Technical Information: Additional technical details, maintenance, and repair kits are available, along with information on sensors, alignment couplers, and flow controls.
Product Specifications: Various models of cylinders are listed, categorized by size and type, with sizes ranging from 1/2" to 8" bore.
Application Ideas: Potential applications include back-to-back assemblies, multi-position cylinders, and multi-piston configurations, with considerations for support in non-vertical applications and the requirement of a 4-way valve circuit.
Modified Products: Customization options are available for specific customer requirements, with examples including medical devices and food processing machines.
Request for Quote: A template for requesting quotes for modified cylinders is provided, emphasizing the importance of including all requirements for accurate quotes.
Warranty and Liability: A 12-month warranty is offered on standard parts, excluding wear components. The warranty is void if tampered with or serviced by unauthorized personnel, and liability is limited to the purchase price of the product.
