RE/RF Series Medium Duty NFPA Tie Rod Cylinders Catalog

Product catalog summary
User Responsibility and Disclaimer: Users are responsible for the selection, use, and maintenance of the system, products, or components. Improper handling can lead to severe consequences, including death or property damage. Technical expertise is required to ensure all application requirements are met.
Features: The RE/RF Series cylinders are designed for durability and performance, featuring a rod cartridge assembly, versatile sealing system, square head tie-rod design for pressures up to 1500 psi, and adjustable cushioning for optimized deceleration. They are engineered for ANSI B93.15/NFPA interchangeability and available in bore sizes from 1-1/2 to 14 inches.
Ordering Information: Eaton provides a 16-digit model code system for ordering standard cylinders, simplifying re-ordering and identification. Custom cylinders can be specified, and replacement cylinders have a unique design number for easy reordering.
Mounting Styles: Various mounting styles are detailed, including side lug, side tapped, keyed side lug, and several flange and trunnion mounts. Proper mounting style selection is crucial and depends on application forces and motion type.
Technical Data: Includes technical data on mounting accessories, rod end couplings, port types and sizes, sealing systems, and optional features like proximity switches and transducer options. Guidelines for calculating cushion requirements and selecting cylinder sizes are provided.
Specifications and Recommendations: Detailed specifications for mounting styles and installation dimensions are provided. The importance of using a rigid frame to resist bending moments is emphasized, with recommendations for using high tensile socket head cap screws or hex head bolts. For strokes exceeding 30 inches, consulting the 'Stop tube selection' section is advised.
Warnings and Safety Precautions: Warnings include the risk of death, bodily injury, and property damage if the cylinder is not mounted correctly. Unsupported loads require the bearing to absorb more force, recommending a larger rod and stop tubes for such applications. Consultation with a local Eaton sales engineer is advised for severe side load applications.
Pressure Ratings: Recommended pressure ratings for different bore sizes in push stroke applications range from 750 psi to 1500 psi.
Data Tables: Extensive tables detail dimensions for various bore and rod sizes, providing precise measurements for installation and ensuring compatibility with specific applications.
Overview: Detailed specifications and guidelines for the EATON RE/RF Series Medium Duty NFPA Tie Rod Cylinders are provided, including information on dimensions, load capacities, mounting accessories, and port configurations.
Specifications: Lists various part numbers with corresponding dimensions and static tensile load capacities.
Mounting Accessories: Details available mounting accessories such as rod clevises, rod eyes, and swivel pins, emphasizing the importance of matching thread types between rod ends and accessories.
Port Configurations: Cylinders are available with NPTF and SAE straight thread O-ring ports, with a table for selecting the appropriate port based on bore and rod diameter.
Sealing Systems: Four different sealing systems are available, tailored to specific application needs.
Key Recommendations: Ensure all rod accessories are torqued against the rod shoulder. Specify part names and numbers clearly when ordering. Consider port location restrictions based on mounting styles.
Sealing Configurations: Two primary sealing configurations for rod and piston seals in air and hydraulic systems are outlined. The N/P configuration uses Nitrile material for temperatures between -31 to 176°F, while the T/S configuration uses Viton for high-temperature applications up to 392°F.
Gland Drain and Air Bleed Options: Gland drains are recommended for long-stroke cylinders or when extended speed exceeds retract speed. Air bleed options are suggested for high-performance applications to remove entrapped air.
Piston Rod Protection: Bellows are available to protect the piston rod from hard particles in the surrounding atmosphere.
Special Cylinders: Eaton offers custom cylinder designs to meet specific customer requirements.
Proximity Switches: Inductive type proximity switches are available for extended or retracted indication, designed to operate in harsh environments.
Transducer Options: Various transducer options, including the Eaton HLT II, are detailed, offering precise and durable measurement capabilities.
Technical Data Overview: Provides technical data and formulas for calculating cushion requirements in hydraulic systems.
Force Factor Chart: Lists force factors for piston force calculations.
General Formulas: Outlines formulas for calculating acceleration and deceleration forces, frictional force, total cushioning force, and contained pressure.
Hydraulic Examples: Two examples demonstrate the application of formulas to calculate forces and pressures in specific scenarios.
Application Data Sheet: A template for recording customer and application-specific data is provided.
Contact Information: Eaton's contact details for their Hydraulics Group in the USA, Europe, and Asia Pacific are provided for further inquiries.

WARNING With unsupported loads, the bearing must absorb more force. For these applications, the larger available rod is recommended, and stop tubes should be considered. Use high tensile socket head cap screws or hex head bolts tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. For high shock applications, dowel pins or shear keys should be incorporated in the mounting design. For these applications, consider a keyed side lug mount, RE04. For severe side load applications, consult your local Eato n sa8 s engine er. WARNING Failure to mount the cyli nder correctly on the frame may resul t in...
