ASCO Large Bore A Series NFPA Interchangeable Cylinder Line XO A

• Head and cap are machined from (6061-T6) solid aluminum bar and anodized for corrosion resistance. A recess at the piston mating surface allows the air to work on a larger effective piston area for faster breakaway.
• The longer bronze rod bushing provides a maximum load bearing support. The material offers an excellent bearing surface with hard chrome plated piston rod. A graphite filled cast iron rod bushing is standard on 8" bore.
• The carboxilated nitrile with Teflon compound is used in the rod seal. The lip seal design insures proper sealing and long life for no lube added service.
• Rod wiper construction is a highly durable polyurethane.
• The bushing retainer allows cartridge removal without disassembly.
• Tie rods are 100,000 psi minimum yield steel for maximum holding power. Tie rod threads are rolled for strength and engagement.
• Piston seals are carboxilated nitrile with Teflon compound for no lube added service.
• The extra wide wear bard is provided to support maximum loading. The solid aluminum alloy piston is strong and lightweight. A nylon insert nut is used to attach the piston to the rod. (Nut is not standard on 8" bore).
• The floating cushion design gives the fastest stroke reversal possible by providing instantaneous full flow to piston. Each cushion has a flush, retained adjustment needle.

The A Series is an aluminum NFPA Interchangeable cylinder line that is designed and built to excel in the most demanding applications. The A Series encompasses many value-added features such as an extra long graphite filled cast iron rod bushing and a standard oversized wear band that is located on the rear of the piston. Additionally, the A Series includes the well-proven "T" Seal piston seal configuration made from carboxilated nitrile with self-lubricating Teflon® compound. These are just a sample of the features that make the A Series the Superior NFPA Interchangeable air cylinder line.
