Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 28, 2007

The ICS-D1, made of AISA 316 stainless steel, is acid-resistant and recommended for food applications where food may come into direct contact with the components.

The ICS pneumatic round cylinder from Bosch Rexroth is perfectly suited for use in wash-down applications.

The cylinder's hygienic design has smooth, cavity-free surfaces for easy cleaning.

It is lubricated with food-safe lubricant and is also cost-effective, easy to install and simple to maintain.

In the food and packaging industry, hygiene and economy are decisive factors when it comes to choosing components.

With a product range specifically geared to these requirements, Rexroth offers well co-ordinated pneumatic components that fulfill the high demands of this industry.

The ICS cylinder has a piston diameter of 32 to 100mm and a maximum stroke length of 1500mm.

Thanks to interlocking seals and cushioning screws, dirt pockets are prevented and the cylinder is easy to clean.

In addition, the stainless steel cylinder offers sufficient corrosion protection to enable its application from the production process right up to food packaging.

The ICS is available in two basic versions: The ICS-D2 is made of AISA grade 304 stainless steel and offers standard corrosion protection.

The ICS-D1, made of AISA 316 stainless steel, is acid-resistant and recommended for food applications where food may come into direct contact with the components.

For lubrication, the food-safe lubricant NSF H1 is standard.

The ICS cylinder is available with a variety of mounting options, as optional double-acting cylinder or with extended or through piston rod.

This cylinder product range complements others developed especially for the food and packaging industry and specifically for the highly demanding clean in place/wash-down areas.

The CL03 Clean Line valve with electrical protection to class IP69K, for example, provides both high flexibility and modularity.
