Pancake® Air Cylinders are Drop-in Interchangeable
Description
The Original Pancake bodies are bored out of solid aluminum bar stock. Such rugged construction provides unequaled strength, rigidity, and piston rod support while maintaining perpendicularity and concentricity for locating, mounting, and making attachments to the rod.
Conventional tie-rod/spacer, Pancake configurations are also available in both a round-head and square-head design. Packed with value – Stainless steel tie bolts lock precision-machined heads tightly around a unique, high strength, composite cylinder barrel. Extremely smooth, self-lubricating interior surface ensures highly reliable performance and extended seal life. High impact resistance reduces the chances of cylinder failure due to dings or dents. Zero slip-stick avoids problems that metal cylinders encounter when the piston remains static for extended periods of time. Hard chrome-plated stainless steel piston rods and nonmetallic rod bearings assure optimal operation for extended product life.
