Cylinders

Following a review of our popular CQ2 compact cylinder Series our R&D engineers have totally redesigned the complete cylinder range to bring you even more performance benefits and increased cylinder options. The major difference between the new CQ2 range and the old model is the totally redesigned body, which offers improved auto-switch mounting possibilities plus an overall reduction of cylinder weight of between 5 -13% depending on the model. Now, all CQ2 cylinders from Ø 32 to 200mm are designed with slide in grooves which can accommodate auto-switches on all four cylinder sides without the need for auto-switch brackets. And, for smaller bore sizes between Ø 12 and 25mm, slide in grooves have also been integrated in the new body design to accommodate bracket free auto-switches on two surfaces. Designed for use with our simple to set, dual colour, solid state auto-switches, the integrated auto-switch channel ensures total protection against potential accidental damage and improved health and safety benefits during both installation and maintenance procedures.

This product is being discontinued and will be replaced by CP96-C (ø32-ø100) series.
With the expansion of our Series C(P)96 ISO range, we can now offer our customers even greater flexibility and cylinder performance. Now available in a non rotating rod type (CP96K(W)/C96K(W)), these cylinders offer great precision and deliver non-rotating accuracy of ±0.5º or ±0.3º in Ø32 to Ø63 or Ø80 and Ø100 bore size respectively. Also, we have introduced a smooth cylinder type, with reduced piston sliding resistance (C96Y) which is particularly suitable for transfer applications requiring smooth movements at low pressure. For applications in explosive atmospheres, the C(P)96 range is now available in an ATEX compliant version (55-C(P)96 which meets ATEX category zone 2, or category zone 3 when fitted with an auto-switch). With a growing range of "made to order" options available as standard and a choice of rod boot materials, there has never been a better time to check out our Series C(P)96 cylinder range.

The C76 series air cylinders offer a simple, space saving design with high dimensional accuracy, making these cylinders very easy to use. Large spanner flats on the rod and head covers greatly simplify their installation and positioning. Low friction and the standard elastomer cushion rings allow piston speeds up to 1500mm/sec. Greater side loads are allowed due to the close tolerance of the piston rod in the front-end bush.

The C85 series conforms to ISO 6432 and CETOP RP52P. The C85 is available in bore sizes 8mm through 25mm with standard strokes ranging from 10mm through 300mm. A unique rod packing design prevents entry of dust and the effectiveness of the seal is such that the C85 is suitable for use in extremely dusty environments. With abrasion resistant packings and replaceable nose seals, the C85 offers exceptional service life.

The CG5-S series is a stainless steel cylinder that uses grease for food processing machines that meets FDA standards. The CG5-S series can be disassembled for replacement of seals which extends the service life of the cylinder. All stainless steel specification for external parts. Mounting bracket surfaces have been electropolished, making them smoother to prevent build-up of liquids and foreign matter. Plugs are provided for unused mounting threads to prevent residue build-up in the threads.

Series CJ5-S is a stainless steel cylinder, designed for use in environments with water spray (such as food processing machines). A special scraper (standard) prevents water from entering the cylinder. Non-toxic additives allow confident use in equipment for food, beverage and medical products, etc. The CJ5-S series can be disassembled for replacement of seals.

Series CP95 is a profile design ISO/VDMA air cylinder. Tie rods are enclosed in an extruded aluminum profile barrel, which is integrated with both end covers to achieve a smooth and attractive appearance. Piston rod lurching has been eliminated at the end of stroke positions by means of a floating seal mechanism. High accuracy covers and tie rod nuts simplify the mounting process and also extend cylinder life.
