Hydraulic cylinders have long industrial
life
Roundline hydraulic cylinders for working pressures up to 250bar use rugged components to increase operating life in applications such as presses, automation systems and wood working equipment.
Parker Hannifin has introduced the MW series of roundline hydraulic cylinders These cylinders are for working pressures up to 250bar and use rugged components to increase operating life in industrial applications such as presses, automation systems and wood working equipment

New series of Schrader pneumatic couplings
Parker Pneumatic has further extended its industry standard Schrader Range of quick acting pneumatic couplers with the introduction of the Euro Series.
There are two versions: the MWA, for working pressures up to 250bar; and the MWB for up to 160bar.
Depending on the version, standard stroke lengths range up to 4000mm, in a choice of bore sizes between 32 and 200mm, with piston rod diameters from 14 to 200mm.
The cylinders have threaded head end rod bearings that accommodate a high performance polyurethane lipseal and wiper seal, while MWA cylinders are fitted with an additional PTFE seal with energiser.
All models have welded end caps.
Both are available with a choice of five mounting options including flange, trunnion and pivot styles.
Each piston rod is made from precision ground, high tensile carbon steel, hard chrome plated to a minimum thickness of 20um and polished, to ensure a long service life.
One-piece steel pistons are fitted with a durable elastomeric sealing element, supported by twin wear and anti-extrusion rings.
This construction ensures that each cylinder provides a long operating life with low maintenance requirements.
The standard MW hydraulic cylinders are for use with conventional hydraulic fluids including water-based and green fluids, and can withstand temperatures from -30 to +80C.
They can be customised to requirements; for example, spherical bearings at the rod and cap ends can be specified if an application requires a degree of tolerance when misalignment occurs when traversing a curved track.
Other options include integrated valve and manifolds, custom paint finishes, position switches, air bleeds, custom thread forms and lengths, and linear transducers. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
