Duty Types and Forces Single Acting Compact® Cylinders, Single Rod End Bores: 8mm, 12mm, and 20mm Threaded Body Spring Forces - kgf (lbf) Threaded Body Metric Cylinders TB series cylinders are single acting. Their single port is located at the bottom of the body, making air supply assembly simple. The simplified valving is especially suited for limited space designs, such as tunnel porting in tight spaces. Compact® Metric Cylinders Double Acting Compact® Cylinders, Single and Double Rod Ends Bores: 8mm*, 12mm, 20mm, 25mm, and 40mm (*double rod end is not available on 8mm bore.) Metric Cylinder Forces - kgf (lbf) Standard Duty Metric Cylinders Our most space efficient duty. Short rod bearing and thin piston design are for guided loads. Available with single or double rod end. Heavy Duty Metric Cylinders Ordering Suffix Full Husky® Longer rod bearing plus Tuf-Coat® PTFE piston are for heavy duty service. Available with single or double rod end. Push P u ll Push P u ll Push P u ll Conversion Formulas Intermediate Duty Metric Cylinders Ordering Suffix Half Husky® A combination of our standard and heavy duty. Long rod bearing and thin piston design are for medium duty service. Available with single rod end only. These specifications may change with various options.
