Features

  1. Piston Rod
    Piston Rods are made of a corrosion resistant chrome plated steel rod.
  2. Rod Wiper
    Double-lipped urethane rod wiper.
  3. Rod Bearing
    660 bronze rod bearing for maximum rod support and low friction for normal to high load.
  4. Head and Cap
    Head and cap are precision machined aluminum blocks. Black anodized for corrosion resistance.
  5. Retaining Ring
    Steel retaining ring for stregth and allows easy removal of rod bearing and seals without disassembly of cylinders.
  6. Rod Seal
    Pressure - energized, wear compensating U-cup rod seal for positive sealing.
  7. Barrel seals
    Barrel Seals offer O-ring design for positive sealing.
  8. Cushion Seal
    Floating cusion seal "check valve" offers fast break
  9. Ports
    N.P.T.F ports standard.
  10. Tie Rods
    Tie Rods are pre-stressed for maximum fatigue capacity. Rolled treads for added strength. Black oxide finish.
  11. Barrel
    Precision lightweight aluminum barrel is hard anodized inside and out to resist corrosion and abrasion. Fine I.D. micro-finish for long life and positive sealring.
  12. Piston
    Aluminum piston is threaded to rod, permanently locked with aerobic adhesive and secured with lock nut. Optional magnet installed under wear ring.
  13. Wear Ring
    Specially formulated Acetal wear ring increases cylinder life and eliminate metal to metal contact.
  14. Piston Seals
    Pressure-energized wear compensating U-cup piston seals for positive sealing.
  15. Cushion Needles
    Adjustable cushion needles have fine thread metering, are captive and flush.

Double-Acting

Flairline double-acting NFPA cylinders are built to NFPA standards and can be used for all types of applications where economical, long-service actuators are required. Operating systems can be pneumatic or hydraulic. Precision components and sealing elements permit continuous operation in harsh environments. Models TS feature Oversized Rods. Models TL/TLS can be supplied with low running friction characteristics. These models incorporate a custom piston and special seal configuration. Models TLS feature Oversized Rods.

Double-Acting, Double Ended

Flairline double-acting, double-ended NFPA cylinders feature piston rod extensions from each end and include T type pistons. As one end is extended, the opposite end is retracted. Working range (stroke), force and speed are equal in both directions so work can be accomplished at both ends simultaneously. Models TSDE feature Oversized Rods.

Magnetic Switch Double-Acting

Flairline magnetic switch double-acting NFPA cylinders include TM type pistons with factory installed magnets for automated stoke sequencing. Magnetic switch options include Reed and Hall effect types. Tie Rod mounted brackets can be adjusted to any location on the cylinder allowing several switches to be mounted for controlling or initiating any sequence function. Models TSM feature Oversized Rods.

NuCushion

NuCushion from Flairline is a reliable low cost alternative for pneumatic cushions. Comprised of a durable elastomer material, the NuCushion has been designed to adapt to pneumatic cylinder pistons to provide superior cushioning over conventional pneumatic cushions. Reaction forces are considerably reduced when NuCushion impacts the cylinder head or cap.
