Trunnion Mounted Cylinders


Trunnion Mounted Cylinders

1.5” to 12” Bore Series

AIR AND MEDIUM-DUTY HYDRAULIC

Trunnion mounted cylinders are heavy duty pivoting cylinders with pintles mounted to the head, cap or intermediate position. Although superior to clevis or pivot mounted cylinders, they may still require stop tubes in long stroke applications.

Feature

  • Thrust up to 45,000 lbs
  • Urethane rod wiper, with Viton and metallic options
  • Polyurethane rod seal, with Viton option
  • Buna Nitrile end seals
  • Standard Buna-N piston lip seals, with optional T-seal
  • Bronze-filled PTFE wear strip for lip seal pistons, glass-reinforced nylon for T-seal pistons
  • Captured solid 660 bronze bearing
  • Steel head and cap
  • Stress proof 4140 steel tie rods
  • Hard-coated aluminum barrel for air, chrome-ID steel barrel for medium duty hydraulic
  • Optional adjustable cushions

Specifications

  • Bore sizes: 1.5" to 12"
  • Configuration: Single or double rod
  • Rods from 5/8" to 5" diameter
  • Max 250 PSI for air
  • Max 1500 PSI for hydraulic (less for larger bores)
  • Stroke range: Up to 144"

Trunnion Mounted Cylinders

NFPA STYLE MT1


Head Trunnion Mount. Allows for changes in cylinder alignment. Forces are absorbed along cylinder centreline. Rigidly mounted pillow block bearings must be used, but allow the MT1 to handle higher thrust load than MT2 or MT4 mounts. Stroke should still be limited to less than five times cylinder bore. MT1 mounts are effective in tension.

NFPA STYLE MT2


Cap Trunnion Mount. Allows for changes in cylinder alignment. Forces are absorbed along cylinder centreline. Rigidly mounted pillow block bearings must be used, but allow the MT2 mount to handle higher load than cap clevis mounts. Stroke should still be limited to less than five times cylinder bore, and on long stroke cylinders, oversized rod or stop tube may be required to prevent rod buckling.

Cap Trunnion Mount. Allows for changes in cylinder alignment. Forces are absorbed along cylinder centreline. Rigidly mounted pillow block bearings must be used, but allow the MT4 mount to handle higher load than cap clevis mounts. Stroke should still be limited to less than five times cylinder bore, and on long stroke cylinders, oversized rod or stop tube may be required to prevent rod buckling.
