Multiple Pistons Create a Powerful Cylinder for Small Spaces
Multi-Power® actuators are an ideal choice when you need tremendous thrust from a modest amount of shop air. Designed with multiple pistons connected to a single rod, they provide greater force output while taking up less space than conventional cylinders with larger bores. Not only do they provide impressive thrust in a compact size, they use a mere 100 psi of shop air and do not require a high-pressure hydraulic system. And Multi-Power actuators require only one piston for the return stroke, economizing air volume.
Additional features include a clear-anodized aluminum outer diameter and a hard-anodized aluminum inner diameter, hard chrome-plated stainless steel piston rods to ensure reliable operation and pre-lubrication with Magnalube-G® grease for long life. Multi-Power air cylinders come in 10 bore sizes from 1 ⅛ to 12 inches, a choice of two, three or four stages and are available with strokes up to 12 inches.
Key Specifications
- 10 bore sizes from 1 ⅛ to 12 inches and strokes to 12 inches
- Composite rod bearing for longer life
- Prelubed with Magnalube-G® Teflon grease
- Chrome-plated stainless steel piston rods
- Available in two, three or four stages at 150 psi, with additional stages at lower pressure available
- Uses only one stage to return, saving air volume
- Front face-rear face-foot-extended tie rod mounts
- Many options to choose from
- Magnetic piston sensing available
- Multiple pistons attached to a common rod with internal air passengers produce tremendous forces.
- Forces up to 22 tons can be reached with only 100 psi of shop air.
- The need for a bulky, larger bore cylinder or high-pressure hydraulics is eliminated.
- Hard chrome-plated stainless steel piston rods ensure long cylinder life.
- The cylinder’s clear anodized aluminum outer diameter has an attractive appearance and also resists corrosion.
- The cylinder’s inner diameter is made of hard-anodized aluminum to resist corrosion and exhibit low internal friction.
- Lightweight aluminum piston construction and secure piston assembly ensure precise concentricity for smooth cylinder operation.
- The piston rod-bushing is extra long and rigid. Its non-metallic high-performance composite material ensures reliability and long life.
- High-performance composite resists corrosion, moisture and temperatures up to 325° F, while offering a high load capacity and very little friction.
- Magnalube-G® Teflon-impregnated grease provides a long operating life and lubricates across a wide temperature range.
- Buna-N O-rings are internally pre-lubed with Magnalube-G as standard.
