Air/Hydraulic Actuators

Product catalog summary
Overview: MICO, Inc. is a company that designs and manufactures hydraulic components, controls, and brake systems for off-road markets. Their facilities are located in North Mankato, Minnesota; Ontario, California; and Empalme, Sonora, Mexico. MICO holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, highlighting their commitment to quality and continuous improvement.
Product Lines: MICO's product offerings include actuators, brake locks, brakes, controls, cylinders, electrohydraulics, master cylinders, and valves.
Air/Hydraulic Actuators: These actuators convert air pressure into hydraulic pressure and are suitable for towing vehicles with air systems and various industrial applications. They come in different air chamber sizes (12 to 36 square inches) and hydraulic displacements (1.4 to 5.9 cubic inches). Models are available for both mineral base hydraulic oil and brake fluid.
Types of Actuators: MICO provides three types of air/hydraulic actuators: Master Cylinder Type, Stem Seal Master Cylinder Type with Integral Reservoir, and Straight Bore Actuator Type for use with a remote reservoir. Each type offers specific advantages based on the application.
Applications: These actuators are used in sectors such as forestry, agriculture, heavy construction, marine, multi-stop vehicles, in-plant and warehouse equipment, and railroad equipment.
Specifications: Detailed specifications are provided for various models, including fluid type, internal residual check valve presence, air chamber size, hydraulic pressure, effective displacement, effective stroke, and bore diameter. All models have a maximum air pressure rating of 8 bar (120 PSI) and a maximum fluid pressure rating of 172 bar (2500 PSI).
Key Features: The actuators feature positive alignment of components, protection from environmental contaminants, and are ideal for spring brakes. They include stroke indicators and internal valving to enhance the bleeding process and extend the service life of primary seals.
Fluid Reservoirs: Two types of reservoirs are described: Polyallomer and Metal. The Polyallomer Reservoir is translucent for easy fluid level viewing, has a diaphragm to seal out contaminants, and a sediment trap. It has a usable fluid capacity of 238 cm3 (14.5 in3). The Metal Reservoir is made of rugged anodized aluminum, has a compact design, and a usable fluid capacity of 54 cm3 (3.3 in3). Both are adaptable for use with hydraulic oil or brake fluid.
Conclusion: MICO's air/hydraulic actuators are designed for high performance and reliability, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial and mobile applications. The company offers custom solutions to meet specific customer requirements.
Notes: MICO emphasizes the accuracy of the information provided but notes that specifications are subject to change without notice due to continuous product improvement. For the most recent information, customers are directed to visit the MICO website.
