Superior Performance in a Small Package: The Light-duty F-Series
The performance and dependability required to resist challenging operating conditions and achieve high throughput—both of which are typical criteria for the food and beverage, automotive, and packaging industries—are typically not offered by light-duty pneumatic actuators. Most air cylinders will malfunction or perform poorly, causing expensive downtime.
However, our F Series of light-duty cylinders overcomes these difficulties by offering an affordable, strong, and simple-to-install pneumatic actuator for demanding applications.
Cost-effective and Easy Interchangeability
A good technique to stick to budgetary restrictions without compromising performance is to use a F Series cylinder. In fact, these cylinders are so inexpensive that buying a new one rather than repairing an old one as it reaches the end of its useful life is more cost-effective. Moreover, F Series units are directly interchangeable, bore for bore and option for option, with other top-tier pneumatic cylinder brands.
Durable, Long-lasting Performance
The F Series is maintenance-free and has a longer lifespan than most other cylinders in its class thanks to a specific petroleum-based lubricant. The design includes a drawn and polished 304 stainless steel tube to increase service life and increase durability even further. The piston is made of high-strength aluminum, while the rods are made of 303 stainless steel that has been machined, polished, and roller-burnished.
The F Series cylinders can withstand challenging washdown situations because of their exceptional durability. To keep it free of dirt and other impurities, each cylinder has Buna-N U-cup rod and piston seals. Full-flow ports and cross-slots on each end cap of these light-duty cylinders enable them to perform well and respond quickly. The design enables rapid passage of air to the seal and piston areas.
Modifications Available
Despite the wide range of normal alternatives, some high-precision applications could call for a customized cylinder. Our F Series machines can be customized in a variety of ways, including with longer stroke lengths or magnetic piston alternatives for cylinder positioning sensing. For tough washdown situations, stainless steel end caps are also offered for the F Series cylinders.
