Olofströms Tryckluftcylinder's thrust cylinders 078 series for pressures up to 8 bar (0,8 MPa) is a perfect construction-element when you need large forces and small spaces. With the compact construction of the cylinders and their small dimensions, the thrust cylinder are eminently suited for holding, bending, punching, feeding, stamping, riveting etc.
078 series enclosing two types of thrust cylinders - piston and diaphragm types. Both types are available single and double acting. At 6 bars pressure (0,6 MPa) the diaphragm thrust cylinders occur in the forces of 3000 N, 6000 N and 12000 N, and the piston types in 1600 N, 3000 N and 25000 N. The stroke is between 40-100 mm.
Specification
Series 078 for max 0,8 MPa (110 psi)
Serie 078 diaphragm type cylinders are available single and double acting. The air inlets are facing sideways to minimize the overall height.
The Diaphragm are made of textile reinforced nitrile rubber. they have an extra reinforcement around the center hole and a triangular edge profile to form a positive seal. The standard piston rod material is SS 1650 steel. Stainless steel rods are available. The piston rods have a square wrenchgrip and are easily exchanged.
