Composite cylinder tube
POLYGON
Composite pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders
For years, aluminum and other similar metallic materials have dominated cylinder product applications. Today, Polygon's PolySlide® products are revolutionizing the field with advanced composite cylinder tubing materials, providing high performance and value.
Composite cylinder benefits vs. metals:
* Low friction for reduced seal wear
* Lower weight
* Better corrosion resistance
* Improved impact resistance
* Enhanced impingement resistance
* Non-conductive
Interchangeable
PolySlide® can be interchanged with any metallic cylinder material in a variety of tie-rod applications.
Polygon Company has patented numerous end termination techniques for non-tie rod applications.
Complete Fabrication Available
PolySlide® cylinders can be provided in various ways, from a simple cylinder tube cut to length for customer assembly, to a completely designed cylinder system built according to customer specifications.
Fabrication and assembly is available in-house. Complete cylinder packages are available for numerous applications ranging from trucks to packaging equipment.
On-site Testing Facilities
Polygon not only has the technology to assist cylinder manufacturers in the use of PolySlide® cylinders but also has the internal testing facilities to validate most designs according to our customers' satisfaction.
Polygon's in-house capabilities range from cycle testing, burst pressure chamber with video analysis of failure mechanisms, to in-use frictional analysis.
