For Supporting Fragile Parts or use in Harsh Environments
Available in four capacities from 4.4 kN to 55.6 kN, adapt to support fragile parts, heavy parts or "hog out" applications.
For harsh environments
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.
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.
