Pneumatic Tie Rod Cylinder OverviewThe document provides a detailed overview of pneumatic tie rod cylinders, highlighting key components such as the Enersorb® Piston, high-strength anodized aluminum tubes, stainless steel tie rods, and floating cushion seals. These features contribute to noise reduction and energy absorption. The operational temperature range is from -20ºF to 180ºF.
Specifications and OrderingThe document explains the ordering process for pneumatic tie rod cylinders, specifying bore sizes from 1 1/2” to 10”. It includes force charts for different bore and rod diameters at pressures of 60 psi, 80 psi, and 100 psi, noting that maximum usable forces are 80% of theoretical values.
Mounting OptionsVarious mounting styles are described, including no mount, flange, trunnion, clevis, eye, angle mounts, side lug, bottom tap, and pneumatic tie rod mounts, each with dimensional specifications.
Rod End Styles and AccessoriesThe document details rod end styles, including male and female threads, and accessories such as eye and clevis brackets. It also covers rod diameter selection and dual piston options.
Additional FeaturesAdditional features include sensors, automotive shot pins, and air-transfer system shakers. The document concludes with special conditions and a limited warranty section.
Dimensional SpecificationsDimensional specifications for parts like eye brackets, pivot pins, rod studs, and jam nuts are provided, with part numbers and dimensions such as A, L, CB, CD, CH, CW, ER, and KK.
Rod Diameter SelectionRod diameter selection is based on cylinder thrust load, mounting style, and stroke, with a chart provided for determining the appropriate diameter.
Maximum Allowable Cylinder Thrust LoadCharts show the maximum allowable thrust load for different rod sizes and mounting styles, with values for various stroke lengths.
Dual Piston SelectionDual pistons are recommended for long strokes to prevent binding, with a chart provided for determining dual piston length.
Ordering InstructionsInstructions for ordering include specifying bore size, rod size, mount type, stroke, cushion type, port type, thread style, and additional options.
Rod End Styles and Thread StylesDifferent rod end and thread styles are outlined, with specifications for male and female threads, and standard and oversize options.
Force ChartsForce charts show maximum usable extend and retract forces at 100 psi for different bore and rod sizes, considering stroke, speed, and friction.
Mounting and Dimensional SpecificationsDetails on mounting options such as flange mounts, side lug mounts, and bottom tap mounts are provided with their respective dimensional specifications.
