Open the catalog to page 1Endurance Technology features are designed for maximum durability to provide extended service life. The BC3 is the most capable pneumatic rodless cylinder in the industry today. Featuring durable stainless steel bands, a reliable recirculating ball bearing design and smooth, low breakaway pressure the BC3 is a great solution for applications with high load and bending moment requirements. Built-to-order in stroke lengths up to 205 inches. SEALED BALL BEARING SYSTEM FORMED END CAP WIPER SEAL • Keeps contaminants from entering the sealing area •Protects internal components • Reduces...
Open the catalog to page 2TOLOMATIC… THE RODLESS CYLINDER LEADER LOAD-BEARING CARRIER DESIGN • Load and piston are independent - piston floats, resulting in less friction and longer seal life • Recirculating ball bearing system guides and supports load for consistent long term performance • Constant level of friction is maintained even when load orientation changes ADJUSTABLE CUSHIONS • Adjustable cushions are standard, not optional • Easy screw adjustment for end-of-stroke deceleration • Protects actuator and load from damage AUXILIARY CARRIER • Substantially higher load capacity • Substantially higher bending...

A pick and place application for moving Vacuumized sheet transfer application. product between conveyors. Customer Challenge: A manufacturer of sorting equipment had created some in-house automation solutions on their sorting equipment but they could not achieve the speed or reliability to keep up with their distribution requirements. They needed to speed up production and find a way to sort to more locations with limited floor space. Tolomatic Solution: A BC3 rodless pneumatic cylinder with...

Open the catalog to page 11For intermediate support, tube support brackets can be mounted to the BC3 model. Made of black-anodized aluminum, the brackets are attached to the bottom and sides of the cylinder tube with rail nuts. The number of tube support brackets required and their placement depends on the overall length of the BC3 model and the load weight being moved and supported. Refer to the tube support data chart below. Note: Switches cannot be mounted on the same face of the actuator as tube supports.

Open the catalog to page 12BC3 FOOT MOUNT KIT - All Sizes Foot mounts are an option on BC3 Series Band Cylinders when an application requires the mounting to be different than flush. They may be specified on one or both ends of the cylinder.
Open the catalog to page 13DUAL 180° CARRIER The Dual 180° Carrier option may be used when load factors exceed those of a single carrier actuator. This option allows the load to be rotated 90° from the cylinder's carrier providing an additional load bearing mounting surface. NOTE: The Dual 180° Carrier option requires its own proprietary tube supports and foot mounts. See dimensional information below. Breakaway pressure will increase when using the Dual 180° Carrier option. BORE SIZE MAX.
