Pistons and their recommended applications

Flairline offers one of the widest range and competitively priced round body pneumatic cylinder lines on the market today. We offer bore sizes from 1/2" - 4". These cylinders offer aluminum construction and chrome plated or stainless steel rods, and circumflex key design (allows easy disassembly for repair). Models include double-acting, single-acting, double-acting double-ended cap-to-cap and tandem. The Round-Body line offers many different types of piston styles to accommodate any application. Along with our standard piston styles, Flairline offers a "Low-Friction" style that has been quoted as being 'The best on the Market!" No matter what your application, Flairline has a round body style cylinder that will do the job.

NFPA TIE ROD CYLINDER SECTION VIEW

Flairline offers one of the most competitively priced heavy-duty, aluminum, tie rod type, pneumatic cylinders on the market today. The T-Type cylinder line is designed around NFPA specifications and will "drop-in' for replacement of any NFPA style cylinder anywhere in the market. Its heavy-duty features allow the cylinder to replace even all steel cylinders. If you have an old worn out NFPA style cylinder that needs replacing or if you have a brand new design and require a cylinder that will out last all others, spec the T-series in. All T-Type cylinders are warranted against failure do to material and workmanship for a period of 3 years. T-type heavy-duty tie rod cylinder features include pressure energized, wear compensating, u-cup piston seals (Buna N standard, Viton* available). An acetal wear ring installed on the piston prevents metal-to-metal contact and a bronze bearing provides maximum rod support and low friction for normal to high-load conditions. Available in 1-1/2' -8" bore sizes, with aluminum construction and chrome plated steel or stainless steel rods. Operating systems can be pneumatic up to 250 psi or hydraulic up to 400 psi (non-shock). Models include two rod sizes to choose from, double-acting and double acting double ended.

Pistons and their recommended applications

Note: The three pistons above are used in the various series in catalog FL-16-B.

Flairline also offers its customers both, a round body and tie rod type low friction cylinder. These cylinders are widely used in the ergonomic arm industry as counterbalance units. These cylinders break-away at 1/2 to 2 psi (depending on the bore) and have very low running-friction. See our Catalog FL-32-C for round body styles OLF and OILF and Catalog FL-16-A for tie rod styles TL and TLS. Please note the tie rod low friction cylinders may not be listed in older versions of our catalogs, although, all envelope dimensions follow NFPA standards.

Flairline offers a wide range of mounting accessories as well as electronic switch capabilities. Refer to the corresponding catalog for a detailed list of options for the particular series you are working with.

Valves

Lightweight aluminum O-Check@ features a dilating O-ring as the only moving part (buna N standard; Viton* available in most sizes). Quick to open, quick to close, O-Check "out-flows" the competition, will last millions of cycles (factory tests to 50 million cycles show no discernable wear) and always provides posotive sealing (no bubble leakage). Standard NPT sizes 1/8" - 3/4" with operating pressure up to 250 psi.

Flairline right angle flow controls incorporate O-Check@ (with dilating O-ring) as the by-pass valve. Our flow controls permit full free flow in one direction, and accurately meter flow in opposite direction. Metering needle design includes compound needle taper of 5 degrees, 15degrees and fine adjustment stem threads. Standard NPT sizes 1/8" - 3/4" with operating pressure up to 250 psi.

Flairline Powered slides provide our customers with an economical tool for automation where smooth cycling is required and high loading is present. Our Slides offer oversize guide rods as standard. These two larger rods supported by four bearings made of a specially formulated thermoplastic alloy allow our customers to accurately move and handle loads with minimum deflection. Flairline Powered Slides are actuated using our standard high-cycle Digit-Air and O-Type cylinders.

Flairline has the engineering expertise and manufacturing facilities to produce custom products to your specific needs. We understand that standard products cannot always be used. That is why Flairline staff is ready to listen and offer help with any custom design you require.

Flairline AO Series Air/Oil Tanks provide customers with a means to benefit from the smooth control of hydraulic oil using existing shop air. Pressurizing the tank from one end with shop air provides hydraulic fluid out the opposite end into the cylinder. The cylinder speed ran be controlled with the use of flow controls to adjust exhausting fluid from the cylinder. The tanks are designed with a translucent, woud fiberglass epoxy composite material which provides an easy to read level indicator as well as a high strength non-denting body. Bore sizes range from 2" to 8" for a wide range of volume possibilities.
