NON-REPAIRABLE PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS
Stainless Steel Pneumatic Cylinders
Stainless Steel Body Air Cylinders Available in a Variety of Interchangeable Mounting Styles Ranging from 5/16″ thru 3″ Bore. Stainless Steel Rods are Standard.
Stainless Steel Cylinder Body: Type 304 Stainless Steel manufactured to special mill specifications and tolerances to insure a long cylinder life.
Stainless Steel Rod: Ground & Polished Type 303 Stainless Steel rods are standard on the Stainless Steel Series. All rods 1/4″ diameter and larger have wrench flats and stress relief grooves.
Piston Rod Assembly: Piston rods are threaded, anaerobically sealed, and machine staked into the piston for triple protection.
End Caps, Piston: High strength aluminum alloy.
Magnet for Sensing Switch Actuation: Optional, refer to American Cylinder’s MFC® catalog for details.
Springs: Springs for spring action cylinders are made from music wire and designed for millions of cycles. Special spring forces are available.
Rod Guide Bushing: Standard on all models. The oil impregnated sintered bronze bushing increases the life of the cylinder rod and provides a non-abrasive bearing surface.
Buna-N U-Cup Rod & Piston Seals: U-Cup seals provide low breakaway friction and maximize cylinder life expectancy. Standard Buna-N seals are recommended for operating temperatures of -20°F (-25°C) to 200°F (95°C). Fluoroelastomer seals are available for higher temperature applications.
Pivot Pin/Pivot Bushing: Stainless Steel Series cylinders are shipped with plated steel pivot pins as standard. Sintered bronze pivot bushings are available as an alternative standard option. (5/16″, 1-3/4″, 2″ & 3″ bores supplied with pivot bushing only.)
Rod Seal: Precision machined rod seal groove provides a smooth sealing surface while positively retaining the seal without requiring additional components and relying on press fit containment.
Pre-lubricated: All cylinders are factory lubricated with a special high endurance oil mixture.
Pre-Tested: The quality of each cylinder is assured by testing each unit for leakage prior to shipment. Quality control provides added value to American cylinders.
Aluminum 76-Series Pneumatic Cylinders
Hardcoated Aluminum Body Air Cylinders Available in 3/4″ thru 2-1/2″ Bore Sizes Feature Oversize Stainless Steel Rods, Dent Resistant Thick Walls and Heavy Duty Overall Construction.

Springs: Springs for spring action cylinders are made from music wire and designed for millions of cycles. Special spring forces are available.
Rod Guide Bushing: Standard on all models. The oil impregnated sintered bronze bushing increases the life of the cylinder rod and provides a non-abrasive bearing surface.
Buna-N U-Cup Rod & Piston Seals: U-Cup seals provide low breakaway friction and maximize cylinder life expectancy. Standard Buna-N seals are recommended for operating temperatures of -20° F (-25°C) to 200° F (95°C). Fluoroelastomer seals are available for higher temperature applications.
Pivot Bushing: Sintered bronze pivot bushings are standard on all universal mount models.
Rod Seal: Precision machined rod seal groove provides a smooth sealing surface while positively retaining the seal without requiring additional components and relying on press fit containment.
Prelubricated: All cylinders are factory lubricated with a special high endurance oil mixture.
Pre-Tested: The quality of each cylinder is assured by testing each unit for leakage prior to shipment. Quality control provides added value to American cylinders
