Features
The XLB Series guided cylinders are equipped with a patented cylinder alignment coupler for self-centering piston rods, enhancing cylinder longevity. They feature sealed recirculating ball bearings for precise alignment and low friction, with optional composite bushings for high shock environments. The lightweight extruded aluminum body reduces inertia, and square nut "T" slots offer mounting flexibility. The piston rod is made from 303 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, and support shafts are case-hardened for durability. Integrated shock/stroke adjusters ensure smooth deceleration and stroke adjustment.

Specifications
The cylinders operate at a maximum pressure of 100 psi and are available in double or single acting configurations. They come in four support rod sizes with a stroke tolerance of +.060, -.000. The operating temperature range is 0 to 165°F with standard seals, and up to 250°F with fluorocarbon seals. They require 40 micron filtered, dry air.

Engineering Data
Graphs illustrate load and deflection characteristics for different models, including horizontal load deflection, torsional deflection, and asymmetrical torque capacity. The kinetic energy section provides steps for sizing a guided cylinder with shocks, considering factors like moving weight, velocity, and cylinder force output.

Basic Dimensions
Detailed dimensional data is provided for various models, including measurements for mounting and optional components. Square nut kits are available for additional mounting flexibility.

Options
Options include hydraulic shock absorbers for increased operating speeds, bumpers, adjustable stop collars, and various sensor types. The shock absorbers are self-compensating and provide constant deceleration.
