Pneumatic cylinder Multi-Power®

multi-pistoncylinderwith piston rod

The Multi-Power® Cylinder contains several pistons that are attached to a rod with internal passages that permits higher forces without the use of larger cylinder or high pressure hydraulics. The cylinder comes in 10 bore sizes with a choice of either 2, 3 or 4 pistons. There are also additional stages with low pressures. Forces up to 22 tons can be reached with only 100 PSI shop air. Unit has 10 bore sizes and strokes. Duralon® Rod for longer life. Piston rods with chrome plated stainless steel. Air service . Uses only 1 stage to return, thus reducing air volume. A lot of options to choose from. Magnetic piston sensing is also available. THE MULTI-POWER PRINCIPLE The Multi-Power Principle is a novel design concept in which multiple pistons are attached to a single rod that has integral air channels. The multiple pistons create a larger collective surface area for the air pressure to act on, while pistons are pressurized simultaneously. The result: extraordinary thrust forces at the cylinder rod. Unlike other common methods of increasing the thrust forces of an air cylinder, the multi-piston design doesn’t require increased air pressure or a larger cylinder bore size. This gives you maximum power from the smallest footprint possible. In fact, Multi-Power cylinders can achieve forces up to 22 tons with only 100 psi of shop air. The cylinders also use just one piston to retract, which can allow 22 to 37% air savings.
