High Performance Delivered in Harsh Conditions
15 January 2013
Parker Hannifin’s 160 bar and 250 bar hydraulic ‘mill’ cylinders are an established choice for hostile environments and arduous applications.
Originally designed for use in steel mills, Parker’s mill cylinders are of heavy duty, all-steel construction and are fatigue-free at their maximum rated pressure.
The latest generation of thesecylinders extends the standard fitment of induction hardened piston rods, offering resistance to damage in tough applications. A new, wider range of mounting accessories offers greater versatility for the designer, while web-based CAD models and an on-line configurator speed and simplify the selection process.
Parker’s standard mill cylinders are available in two ranges. The MMA series is rated at 250 bar working pressure and conforms to ISO 6022 and DIN 24 333, while the MMB series of 160 bar cylinders conforms to ISO 6020/1.
Both MMA and MMB series cylinders incorporate features such as removable glands and separate bodies with detachable heads and caps to help ensure ease of maintenance and low whole-life operating costs.
