For Supporting Fragile Parts or Use In Harsh Environments
Available in four capacities from 1,000 to 12,500 lb., adapt to support fragile parts, heavy parts or "hog out" applications.
For harsh environments (where contaminants such as aluminum or cast iron fines, corrosive or tacky coolants are present) we suggest running a constant "air spring" to keep the plunger extended and the problem contaminants out.
Normally retracted plungers provide additional clearance for part loading. Advance them with air pressure, exerting ONLY the force needed to "kiss" the part, then "freeze" the plunger in place hydraulically.
Heavier attachments may be used with air advance supports because of their additional air powered lifting/contact force. Stainless steel plunger and sleeve assemblies help guard against corrosion in most machining environments.
Standard SAE porting and alternate o-ring manifold face seal is located in the base of the support for bolt down installation, The base can be removed for direct cartridge mounting.
Stainless steel plunger and sleeve assemblies help guard against corrosion in most machining environments.
Special large diameter plungers and sleeves provide greater rigidity.
Continuous flow of air, can serve as an "air spring" and be left connected during machining. This "air spring" effect helps keep harsh contaminants from getting between the plunger and sleeve. This is an excellent support choice when using double acting cylinders. You should observe air bubbles escaping around the plunger when used in this manner.
