3 Single acting spring return Cylinders include rod seals to provide for standard fail safe operation New switch track options accept either Reed or Hall Effect switches allowing for either AC or DC switch circuitry. 3,000 mile life ratings when low frictions seals are specified provides customers the confidence associated with a low maintenance design. Mechanically retained bumpers reduce the sound typically associated with high cycle pneumatic cylinder applications. New F Series mounting options provide drop in interchanges for a competitive manufacturer. The addition of NPT rod threads on double rod end models makes it easier for designers to connect air and fluid fittings to the rod ends.
