Figure 1: Model B3X Bollard Frame (Automatic Product Shown)
1.1.1 Hydraulic Cylinder
On the automatic system, the hydraulic cylinder provides the force when pressurized to
raise or lower the bollard by a hydraulic pumping unit. On the semi-automatic product,
this is a pre-pressurized gas cylinder to allow the bollard to be manually lifted and
lowered.
1.1.2 Cylinder Weldment Assembly
The main structural element of the B3X Bollard is the cylinder. This 10 inch schedule 80
steel cylinder raises and lowers to provide the obstruction during impact. When raised,
the tube protrudes 30-36 inches of grade (depending on the model).
1.1.3 Tube Cover Plate
The cover plate seals the top of the cylinder to provide a functional and aesthetic bollard.
This cover plate is used to access the hydraulic cylinder and other maintenance items.
1.1.4 Proximity Switch Bracket
This bracket positions the proximity switch in the correct location to provide a feedback
signal when the bollard is in the lowered position. The optional raised proximity switch
is on the outside of the tube next to the fittings.
CAUTION: This barrier is made of heavy steel components.
Ensure all personnel are cleared of area during operation.
