Series MA Catalog PDF (5.00 MB)
| Feature | Benefit |
| 1. Head & Cap – Precision machined from high strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. | Black anodized for corrosion resistance. |
| 2. Piston – Precision machined from 6061-T651 alloy aluminum. | Provides an excellent bearing surface for extended cylinder life. |
| 3. Piston Seals – Piston seals are lip type nitrile and are pressure activated and wear compensating. | Long life. |
| 4. Wear Band – Teflon® and graphite composition. | Increased wear and side load resistance. |
| 5. Cylinder Tube – 6063 – T6 aluminum with an I.D. that has been hard coat anodized. | Corrosion resistance. |
| 6. Tube Seal – Nitrile O-ring tube seal. | Long seal life. |
| 7. Non-Cushioned Cylinders – Option – Floating cushion seals with captured adjustment needle incorporate extra fine thread. A lower cost fixed cushion option is available without adjustment needles. | Precise cushion adjustment. |
| 8. Piston Rod – Machined from 100,000 yield hard chrome plated steel with an option for stainless steel when required. | Durability. |
| 9. Rod Seal – Rod seal is urethane incorporating a rounded dynamic sealing lip. | Reduced friction and longer seal life. |
| 10. Rod Bushing – Precision machined from 150,000 psi rated graphite filled cast iron and PTFE coated. | Reduces friction and extends cycle life. Bushing design “traps” lubrication in effective bearing area. |
| 11. Rod Wiper – Rod wiper is urethane material. | Aggressively removes foreign material from the piston rod and extends rod seal life. |
| 12. Tie Rods – High strength steel with black oxide finish. Optional stainless steel rods. | Maintain compression on O-ring tube end seals. |
