Tough applications require tough cylinders. Many applications can be very abusive to equipment, which can lead to damaged components or poor performance. TRD's TAS series steel cylinders and components provide extra strength and durability to withstand abuse while maintaining reliable performance

FLOATING ROD BUSHING

• Precision machined from 150,000 PSI rated graphite filled cast iron and PTFE coated to reduce friction and extend cycle life
• Bushing design traps lubrication in effective bearing area

HEAD, CAP & RETAINER

• Precision machined steel head, cap and retainer are held to close tolerances and ensure accurate alignment for a truly square cylinder

CYLINDER TUBE

• Precision machined steel tube with hard chrome I.D., is honed and micro finished for extended seal life and improved cycle rates

PISTON ROD

• Precision machined from high yield, polished and hard chrome plated steel

PISTON SEALS

• Heavy lip design Carboxilated Nitrile construction
• Seals are pressure activated and wear compensating for extended life

ROD WIPER

• Urethane construction on 3.5” rod and under
• Flocked Nitrile construction on the other rod diameters
• External lip design prevents debris from entering cylinder

PISTON

• Precision machined from 6061-T651 alloy aluminum, provides an excellent bearing surface for extended cylinder life

TIE RODS

• Pre-stressed high carbon steel tie rod construction eliminates axial loading of cylinder tube and maintains compression on tube and end seals

PERMANENT LUBRICATION

• Permanently lubricated with Magnalube-G PTFE based grease on all internal components
• This is a non-migratory type high performance grease providing outstanding service life
• No additional lubrication is required

CUSHIONS

• Options H & C - floating cushion seal designed for maximum cushion performance, quick return stroke break-away and extended life

CUSHION ADJUSTMENT NEEDLE

• Adjustable steel needle design has fine thread metering and is positively captured to prevent needle ejection during adjustment

WEAR BAND

• 90% Virgin PTFE and 10% Polyphenylene Sulfide material provides extended life due to extremely low wear factor

ROD SEAL

• Carboxilated Nitrile construction on 3.5” rod and under
• Polyurethane construction on the other rod diameters
• Both seals are pressure activated and wear compensating for extended life

FINISH

• Black urethane paint
