Pneumatic Cylinder
8” Bore X 11-3/8” Stroke
Part No. R434004984
Service Information
Installation
Before installing this cylinder, all air lines in the
system should be blown clean to remove any
moisture or loose material. Also, the area in which
the cylinder is to be mounted should be free of any
foreign objects, which may damage the cylinder
barrel. To further ensure a long, trouble-free
service, an efficient air filter should be installed in
the system’s supply line.
Start the installation by removing one cotter pin
and clevis pin from the clevis on the cap end of
the cylinder. Set the cylinder into the mounting
position with the cap clevis mating with the
mounting eye. Reinstall the clevis pin through the
clevis lugs, and the cotter pin into the clevis pin.
Spread the ends of each cotter pin so that they will
not fall out. You can now connect the piston rod
end to the mounting bracket, noting proper
alignment to eliminate any binding.
Remove the thread protectors from each pipe
port in the head and cap; connect air lines from
the directional control valve. Use pipe dope on the
air line fittings, not any kind of tape. Be sure no
foreign matter enters the ports or air lines during
the time they are open.
If the cylinder is to be painted, be sure that the
piston rod is covered, the ports are closed, and
the clevis pin is covered where it rides in the
clevis.
The supply air and atmospheric (ambient)
condition must be maintained within a temperature
range of –40°F to +225°F.
