Materials
Piston Made of high resistance carbon steel and it is preloaded to avoid the unscrew and to improve the thread fatigue life Rod Hardened and tempered alloy steel with rolled threads to improve the rod strength
Heads and trunnions Realized in cast iron or steel. The wide storage of these components ensures quick deliveries
Chrome-plating Chrome thickness >20 m grants a corrosion resistance over 200h in NSS; the surface roughness Ra<0,2 m and Rmr >50% ensure extended life of sealing system
Tie-rods/screws Realized in normalized automatic steel with rolled threads to improve strenght

Body The seamless tube is cold drawn or hot rolled according to the cylinder size. Selected materials grants high safety factors for pressures up to 400 bar
Rod bearing Rod guide is realized by a bronze bearing or guide rings for high lateral loads and low friction guide
Sealings
The wide range of available sealing systems allows the best choice for any application, according to working speed, fluid temperature and type. Polyurethane material ensures the perfect hydraulic seals, PTFE bronze filled performs high speed and very low friction. See the table below for further information.

Hydraulic cushionings
Hydraulic cushionings at stroke end are recommended for speed higher than 0,05 m/s and if there is no external softening system. Atos cushioning profiles are designed to perform an effective reduction of rod speed before hitting the mechanical stroke end and to dissipate high energies, limiting the pressure peak. The adjustable cushionings allow to optimize the cushioning performance according to the rod speed and to the actuated mass.

Reed
- High switching power - Suitable to directly pilot a power load - 2 wires circuit for easy connection - Max current: 500 mA
Hall effect
- Electronic sensor - Infinite electric life (no wear parts) - High sensitivity and switching reliability - Not suitable to directly pilot a power load
Proximity sensors
Fixed proximity sensors Proximity sensors can be optionally introduced on standard cylinders to detect the rod position near the mechanical stroke end. Their function is based on the variation of the magnetic field generated by the sensor itself when a magnetic element enters its influence area
CKS cylinders with adjustable proximity sensors CKS cylinders are supplied with adjustable proximity sensors to monitor the position of the rod along the cylinder stroke. Reed or Hall effect sensors can be easily assembled on one of the four tie rods by means of proper clamps which allow to position them along the cylinder body

Anticorrosion treatments
Rods Ni + Ch plating Nickel + Chrome plating increases the rod corrosion resistance up to 1000 h in neutral salt spray with rating 10 according to ISO 10289. Thickness: 30 m Nickel + 20 m Chrome Rods ceramic coating Ceramic treatment consists of a multilayer coating applied on the rod to grant excellent corrosion resistance in harsh environment such as petrochemical, military and railways. Cylinders Geomet treatment Geomet treatment provides a corrosion protection > 1000 h in neutral salt spray and improves the corrosion resistance of painting. Thickness: 8-10 m
