Redesigned piston rod cylinder from Hoerbiger-Origa
Redesigned AZ piston rod cylinder from Hoerbiger-Origa offers both improved performance and a much high level of configurability. Improvements over the previous AZ include a new barrel profile for a smoother surface, and a redesigned piston, its aluminium construction bringing increased durability and performance.
Piston rods are available with male or female threaded rod ends. Low friction characteristics of this redesigned unit have resulted in lower breakout pressure, smoother running, faster acceleration and reduced seal wear. Also new for the AZ is the inclusion of T-slots for magnetic switches. These Tslots ensure that the switches do not protrude beyond the height of the slot, and have been designed to make it easy to insert the switches and to adjust their position for accurate operation.
The AZ cylinder is offered in profile tube or tie-rod versions, double-acting, and with the option of through piston rod operation. Users can specify single or double end air connections and can select the position of these air connections. Further options available include non-rotating or guided versions, high temperature versions (up to 150°C), ATEX versions and corrosion-resistant piston rods.
