Features
The cylinder barrel of extruded anodized aluminium has a slot along its
entire length. To provide rigidity, the bore is eccentric to the outside
diameter. A flexible corrosion resistant steel inner band running along
the entire length of the bore and passing through the piston provides a
near-zero-leakage metal to metal seal. An outer band of the same
material acts as a cover over the slot preventing foreign particles to
enter into the cylinder. The aluminium piston is fitted with synthetic
bearing rings and houses the internal magnet. A physical connection
through the slot between the piston and the external mounting plate
allows the power transmission outwards. This solid connection permits
the acceptance of big external forces and moments, and minimizes
frictional losses.
Magnetic switches can be mounted on the aluminium profile with
mounting brackets.
The cylinder is available in seven sizes: ?16; 25; 32; 40; 50; 63; 80.
Two versions are available: the basic version (part number begins with
OPL), suitable for small and medium loads, and the version with
recirculating ball bearing guide (part number begins with OPL-KF),
suitable for big loads and precision.
