Milwaukee A Cylinder

Removable Retainer Plate

The retainer plate and rod bushing are externally removable. On most models, total disassembly of the cylinder is not necessary. Four capscrews securely hold and lock the retainer plate in place.

Rod Bushing and Seals

The rod bushing is accurately machined from solid bearing bronze. It is piloted and retained in the end cap to provide positive rod support, and designed for maximum bearing area.

Buna-N seals are supplied as standard with Milwaukee Cylinder Series A cylinder. They are suitable for use with air or petroleum base fluids up to a temperature of 200°F. For high temperature or synthetic petroleum base fluids, seals of Viton and Teflon are also available.

Ports

Large NPTF cylinder ports are standard and can be located to customer requirements. SAE ports optional.

Piston Rod

The piston rod is of high strength steel, hardened and plated to resist scoring and corrosion, assuring maximum life.

Piston

An iron piston is precision machined from fine grained iron alloy. The piston is pilot fitted and threaded to the rod.

Cylinder Barrel

The barrel is honed and hard chrome plated. This provides superior sealing power, with the minimum of friction, to assure long seal life. Composite barrel is standard for 10" diameter and larger.

End Caps

End caps and mountings are of high quality steel, precision machined for accurate mounting.

Tie-Rods

The tie-rods are constructed from a high quality medium carbon steel. The threads are accurately rolled for rigid engagement of the nuts.

Cushions

Cushions are machined to close tolerance to provide positive, smooth deceleration at the end of stroke. On all bore sizes, we provide the longest cushion possible, based on the rod size and blind end caps. Longer cushions are available; for further information, consult factory.

Cushion Needle Adjustment and Ball Check

The cushion needle adjustment valve and cushion-check ball retainer screw are specifically designed to provide full cushion adjustment.
