XL Multicyl Single Acting Cylinders
Like all standard Multicyl press cylinders these XL single acting cylinders are powered by air, they have a price advantage over larger types while still being powerful, and are also easy to maintain. Multicyl uses simple air controls, for single acting cylinders a 3-way pilot valve and quick exhaust is all that is required. These air over oil cylinders when combined with accessories into presses can be used for many different applications and are ideal for workshops. Examples of how a cylinder may be utilised are shown in our images.
All Multicyls can be operated from a horizontal position, although be sure that the oil filler screw is facing upwards; this will properly align the bleed holes of the cylinder allowing the oil transfer system to work correctly and the cylinder to function as it should. Standard Multicyls will not operate in an inverted (upside down) position, however, custom modifications may be made to overcome this problem and provide an inverted cylinder. This must be requested at the time of ordering, please contact us for more information.
XL cylinders are available for sale as individual units for use with your own design, presses or tooling, or you can contact us to enquire about using an XL (or any Multicyl cylinder) as part of a complete punching solution including tooling, controls, and a frame designed to suit your application. The most common is hole punching, but this type of press is excellent for many other types of manufacturing applications such as notching, shearing, tube piercing, assembly and metal joining. Please see attached guides and our related Air Control Package and C and H Frame pages for further information.
Multicyl products come complete with warranty and are guaranteed to be free from defect in workmanship for 1 year from date of purchase or 10,000,000 hits.
