PolySlide^® Applications

PolySlide^® composite cylinders offer drop-in replacement in these and other applications:

Pneumatic actuators for valves
Respirators for medical applications
Hydraulic actuators for aircraft
Pressure pumps for spray applications
Dump mechanisms for railroad cars
Waste water treatment flow control mechanisms
Pneumatic/fluid shock absorption or energy diversion

PolySlide^® works as a replacement for aluminum, steel and brass cylinder tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems.

Application Considerations

Conventional end seals and closures can be used. Steps and shoulders may be machined if required. Bearing stress must be no greater than 25,000 PSI.
Non-metallic seals on the piston must be used.
Compression of approximately 0.006 inches per each inch of cylinder length should be used when and where the maximum pressure is required.
