Get more power from single rod cylinders

European manufacturers looking for some higher power from single rod cylinders could consider accredited, low weight, large bore cylinders made from aluminium alloy.

European manufacturers looking for some real muscle power from their single rod cylinders need look no further than the latest range of 'big bore' actuators - Series C95 from SMC Pneumatics, the worlds leading automation control experts. Designed according to both ISO 6431 and VDMA 24562 standards these accredited large bore cylinders benefit from lightweight construction using aluminum alloy for both the cover and tubing. By adopting this unique build specification, dramatic weight reductions of up to 45% are achieved compared to similar existing products.

With further benefits such as increased kinetic energy and lateral load resistance and with reed and solid sate auto switch options, the C95 is the perfect answer when powerful performance is required.

Series C95 is currently available in bore sizes of 125, 160, 200 and 250mm with standard stroke lengths of 1200mm, mounting options include standard foot, flange, single/double clevis and centre trunnion.
