New design for compact M3 threaded fittings
Beswick Engineering has a new series of ultraminiature M3 threaded fittings with captured O-ring face seals.
This novel design has the piston rod supported with two composite bushings.
One is in the nose and the other is in the tail assembly.
These separated bushings adequately support most couples induced by side loads and/or stress reversals and thus minimise stress raisers, a major source of early failure in cylinders.
Dynamic lip seals have a U-shaped cross section.
These Beswick cylinders are rebuildable, fit most standard mountings, are ideal for long life service applications and do not require a lubricated air supply.
The force factor is 0.78in extension and 0.70in retraction.
They function exceptionally well in linkage applications and can essentially serve as an extendible link.
Applications include: packaging machinery, medical and dental equipment, instruments, laboratory equipment, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, aerospace equipment, industrial robots and many more.
