It may be necessary to perform machining and mounting operations on the hydraulic cylinder before installing the EZ-track.
Consult the information and specifications provided by the cylinder manufacturer before beginning the following steps:
1. Unscrew the EZ-track’s jam nut from the threads protruding from the hex mounting base.
2. Position the non-ferrous spacer against the piston face, followed by the magnet, and then the chamfered rod bushing if
the EZ-track’s rod is 60.0” or longer in length.
3. Insert non-ferrous screws through the chamfered rod bushing (if used), magnet, and non-ferrous spacer. Secure items by
tightening screws.
If the leading edge of the magnet will come closer than 2.0" from the base of the EZ-track’s hex head when the piston rod is
fully retracted, it will be necessary to counterbore the magnet assembly into the piston rod. Both the standard 1.29" four-hole
magnet assembly (P/N STM-AL-R10) and the 1.0" magnet assembly (P/N CM-R10) are designed for counterbored mounting
applications. If it has a 1.0" magnet assembly, a snap ring will be needed to hold it in place.
4. Insert the EZ-track’s rod into the hole of the hydraulic cylinder’s mounting bracket.
The protective plug may need to be removed from the hydraulic cylinder before inserting the EZ-track. The end cap should
contain a 3/4-16 UNF-2B threaded hole (M18 x 1.5 for metric units). Screw the EZ-track into this hole using the threads pro-
truding from the EZ-track’s hex mounting base.
WARNING:
Do not use the black aluminum cover of the head assembly to tighten the EZ-track within the bracket (see Figure 2-1). This
may damage the EZ-track and will void your warranty. To tighten the EZ-track within the bracket, use the 1.75" hex mount-
ing base on the head assembly.
