Product catalog summary

Global Series™ Air Cylinders Overview

The Global Series™ air cylinders by FABCO-AIR are high-performance, space-saving pneumatic cylinders designed for industrial automation. They feature advanced materials, innovative construction, and a broad range of models and options to suit diverse applications.

1. Product Features and Materials

  • Construction: Custom aluminum alloy bodies with hard anodized surfaces inside and out, offering superior corrosion and wear resistance compared to chrome-plated steel.
  • Bore: Polished bores with oil rings to retain lubrication, reduce friction, and extend seal life.
  • Piston Rod Bearings: Extra-long bearings made from hard Duralon® (a Duralon®/Dacron fabric liner) ensure low friction, high durability, and extended cycle life, especially in larger bores.
  • Piston: Lightweight aluminum pistons with precise concentricity via counterbores for smooth operation.
  • Seals: Standard internally lubricated modified Buna N O-rings; optional Viton® seals available for high-temperature or chemical resistance.
  • Magnetic Pistons: Incorporate magnetic material for reliable position sensing compatible with electronic sensors and reed switches.

2. Cylinder Types and Actuation Modes

  • Double Acting, Single Rod (Non-Rotating)
  • Double Acting, Double Rod (Non-Rotating)
  • Single Acting, Spring Retract
  • Single Acting, Spring Extend
  • Magnetic piston models for position sensing
  • Dial-A-Stroke® adjustable extend stroke models for precise stroke control
  • Tandem and back-to-back cylinders for extended stroke or specific configurations

3. Mounting and Options

  • Multiple mounting styles: flange, foot, rear clevis, rear boss, front boss mounts.
  • Toolplates with interchangeable hole patterns compatible with GT Series.
  • Options include bumpers on both ends, adjustable stroke, male rod ends, and high-temperature seals.
  • Provision for multiple sensors without additional switch accommodations.

4. Performance and Warranty

  • Load capacities specified in psi; friction minimized by Duralon® bearings.
  • Spring forces detailed for retract and extend types, provided in pounds.
  • Robust 32-month, 11 million cycle warranty emphasizing durability and reliability.

5. Dimensional Data and Ordering Information

  • Comprehensive dimensional tables cover bore sizes from 5 mm to 150 mm, stroke lengths, mounting hole sizes, thread types (metric and inch), and rod end configurations.
  • Details on hole sizes, counterbores, flats, and thread specifications for piston rods.
  • Ordering instructions specify bore size, stroke, mounting, rod end, seal options, and sensor requirements.
  • Magnetic piston cylinders require separate sensor orders; sensor slot provisions are integrated.

6. Sensor and Magnetic Piston Integration

  • Magnetic pistons use uniform magnetic material for consistent sensor performance.
  • Slots for round profile sensors are integrated into cylinder bodies.
  • Sensor types include 7 mm reed switches (25 mm length) and 19 mm electronic sensors, both with LED indicators.
  • Connectors and conversions for magnetic position sensors are available.
  • Electrical specs include sourcing (PNP) and sinking (NPN) configurations, voltage range 0-120 VDC/VAC, max current and power ratings, and cordset options.

7. Additional Notes and Best Practices

  • Counterbores and precise machining ensure piston rod alignment and sealing integrity.
  • Hard anodizing enhances hardness, corrosion, and wear resistance beyond chrome plating.
  • Extra-long rod bearings and bushing caps contribute to long cylinder life.
  • Standard and extended stroke pistons differ in design to maintain performance over longer strokes.
  • Ensure sensors are ordered separately and mounted correctly to avoid pinch points.
  • Use Viton seals for chemical resistance or high-temperature applications.
  • Confirm total body length with factory when ordering tandem cylinders.
  • Refer to detailed dimensional tables for mounting hole sizes and locations to ensure proper installation.
  • Match sensor electrical characteristics to application voltage and current requirements.

Summary

The Global Series™ air cylinders provide a robust, versatile pneumatic solution with advanced materials and construction techniques. Their wide range of sizes, mounting options, actuation modes, and magnetic piston sensing capabilities, combined with an extensive warranty, make them ideal for demanding industrial automation applications.
