TIE ROD MOUNTED CYLINDERS
Tie-rod mounts are suited for many applications and are similar to flange mounts, but tie-rod mounts are not as rigid as the flange
type of mounting. The best use of tie-rods extended on the blind end is in a thrust load application. When using tie-rod extended
on the rod end, the best application is a tension load. When long strokes are required, the free end should be supported to prevent
misalignment, sagging or possible binding of the cylinder.

MOUNTED CYLINDERS
The flange mount is one of the
strongest, most rigid methods
of mounting. With this type of
mount there is little allowance
for misalignment, though when
long strokes are required, the
free end opposite the mounting
should be supported to prevent
sagging and possible binding
of the cylinder. The best use
of a blind end flange is in a
thrust load application (rod in
compression).
Rod end flange mounts are best
used in tension applications.
When a less rigid mount can
be used and the cylinder can
be attached to a panel or
bulkheard, an extended tie-rod
mounting could be considered.
HOW TO ORDER

SIDE OR LUG MOUNTED CYLINDERS
The side or lug mounted cylinder provides a fairly rigid mount. These types of cylinders can
tolerate a slight amount of misalignment when the cylinder is at full stroke, but as the piston
moves toward the blind end, the tolerance for misalignment decreases. It is important to note
that if the cylinder is used properly (without misalignment), the mounting bolts are either in simple
shear or tension without any compound stresses.

TRUNNION CYLINDERS
All trunnion cylinders need a provision on both ends for pivoting. These types of cylinders are
designed to carry shear loads and the trunnion pins should be carried by bearings that are rigidly
held and closely fit for the entire length of the pin.

EXTENDED PISTON ROD THREAD
"A=" Refers to the length of piston rod thread
Shorter than standard lengths can be furnished at no charge. Longer
than standard lengths can be furnished at nominal price adder.
Special length threads available.
AIR/OIL PISTON
Air/Oil pistons allow for the combination of pneumatic supply air
with the precise control of oil.
The basic A/O piston is designed for oil on the cylinder cap end,
and a "meter out" flow control (not provided) for precise return
stroke control.
For applications that require the oil to be on the cylinder rod end,
specify the TH option.
NOTE: Due to the nature of oil to remain in the tubing finish recesses,
a condition called "collaring" will allow oil to seep past the A/O seal
over time, escaping in the air valve exhaust.
ADJUSTABLE STROKE (RETRACT)
Consists of a threaded rod in the cylinder cap, non-removable.
Provides an adjustable positive stop on the cylinder retract.
To order, specify "AS" and length of adjustment (Example: AS=3").
BUMPERS
Urethane impact dampening bumpers, used when cylinder speeds do
not allow for standard cushions.
BC = Cap Bumper BH = Head Bumper B = Head and Cap Bumper
(NOTE: Each bumper adds 1/4" to cylinder length).
115
BP
Bumper Piston Seals will shorten the cylinder stroke when operated at less than 90 PSI
supply air. The charts below show the approximate (average) stroke reduction, at various pressure
(for new cylinders). As the cylinders are cycled, the seals will take a slight set. Tests have shown
that after 1,500,000 cycles, the seals will have between .001 and .008 compression set per seal.
After that, there is no noticeable compression set.

BUMPER PISTON SEALS
Milwaukee Cylinder's Bumper Piston Seal, when used with our advanced
cushion design, decelerates the cylinder at end of stroke reducing noise and
extending cylinder life.
BENEFITS
Reduces cycle rates
Higher piston velocities can be achieved
due to rapid deceleration feature
increasing productivity
Provides maximum impacf dampening
Reduces machine vibration
Reduces cylinder end-of-stroke noise
Available in Viton Seals
(1" to 8" bore)
DESIGN TIPS
Use cushions to achieve quick performace
on longer strokes (Options HC & BP)
Use the BP Seals without cushions on
short strokes requiring fast cycles
Due to compressibility, BP Seals are not
recommended for applications that require
100% repeatable stroke increments

HOW TO SIZE CUSHIONS FOR YOUR APPLICATION
Cylinders with air cushions provide a possible solution to destructive energies. The air cushion
traps a small amount of exhaust air at the end of stroke, providing an air pocket that decelerates
the load. This reduces the potentially destructive energy being transmitted to the cylinder and other
components. The following is a brief explanation on how to determine the energy level of your
application and determine if an air cushion can provide adequate energy absorption. Air cushions
do not build heat since the heat generated is dissipated with the exhausted air flow.
STEP 1: Determine the total load to be stopped by the cylinder. Include the piston rod weight (see
piston rod weight chart below).
STEP 2: Determine the velocity (in feet per second) at which the load impacts the cylinder end caps.
STEP 3: Use the following formula to calculate the energy the cylinder generates.
STEP 4: Using the table below, select the proper cushion length. Note: You can choose a larger
bore size to increase cushion capacities.

HEAD AND CAP CUSHIONS
Milwaukee Cylinder's advanced cushion design features a unique, one piece seal that is allowed
to float in a precision machined groove.
This type of seal design provides consistent cushion performance and maximum seal life.
Oversized flow paths molded in the periphery of the seal provide full flow on the return stroke
without the use of ball checks.
CUSHION SIZING FORMULA
Milwaukee Cylinder's advanced cushion design features a unique, one piece seal that is allowed
to float in a precision machined groove.
energy = ( w x v
2
) + (p x k)
64
W = Total weight of load in pounds
(including piston rod)
V = Velocity (in feet per second)
P = Driving pressure in PSI
(usually the air line pressure)
K = Bore constant value
(see chart below for K values)
How to figure the energy for a 2" bore cylinder,
10" stroke, 5/8" piston rod, moving a 25 lb. load
at 6 feet per second with 80 psi air.
P = 80 psi W = 26.25 lbs. V = 6 FPS. K = .17
Energy = (26.25/64) X (62) or (36) + (80 X .17)
Energy = 28.36 ft/lbs.
The Maximum Energy Data Chart indicates
that the Long Cushion at 38.6 maximum
energy value would be the right choice for this
application.

British Standard Pipe Parallel (BSPP) also refered to as BSP "Straight" Thread.
(Not interchangeable with NPT)
STUDDED PISTON ROD
KK3S option combines the KK3 female threaded rod end design and a stud, with permanent
Loctite. When assembled, the KK3S has the same dimensions as a KK1 rod end.
This option is useful in applications that typically break standard KK1 rod ends due to high
load impacting.
LOW FRICTION
LF Low Friction option incorporates the use of round-lip, extremely low friction carboxilated
nitrile seals. Round-lip seals hydroplane on opposed sealing surfaces, and have a lower
running and break-away friction. Material: Carboxilated Nitrile Operating Temperature:
-20F to 200F (-25C to 90C) Operating Pressure: 250 psi air (17 bar)
EXTENDED PISTON ROD
"C=" is commonly referred to as Piston Rod Extension. Piston rods can be extended to any
length up to 120" total piston rod length, including stroke portion. Cylinders with long "C"
lengths can be mounted away from obstacles or outside hazardous environments.
ELECTROLESS NICKEL
"EN" or Electroless Nickel plating was invented in 1946, and has gained worldwide
commercial usage since 1964. Common usages include aircraft landing gear, automotive
brake cylinder and components, fuel injector parts, gas turbine parts, spray nozzles for
chemical applications and many electronic devises including hard drives.
The properties of Electroless Nickel contribute to the multitude of uses. The coating
provides an attractive finish, while exhibiting high abrasion and corrosion resistance. Its
ability to uniformly coat blind holes, threads, internal surfaces and sharp edges contributes
to its effectiveness. It has a very high bonding strength to the base metal (100,000-200,000
psi), so much so that gas turbines use electroless nickel plating as a base to braze broken
blades to.
COMMON USAGES:
FOOD PROCESSING EN plating has been used to handle such diverse products as sodium
hydroxide, food grade acids and fish oils. Excellent resistance to mild sanitizing caustics,
chlorine, and chlorides in general. The natural smooth finish ensures cleanliness in food
processing equipment.
PETROLEUM AND CHEMICAL The petroleum and chemical industry are large users of
electroless nickel plating for corrosion protection. Design tip: Submit the list of chemicals
and concentration levels to Milwaukee Cylinder for evaluation and recommendations. In
some instances, Stainless Steel cylinders provide the best value and long cylinder life.
MEDICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL The medical industry uses EN plated cylinders in clean-
rooms, on equipment used to make plasma or IV bags, since it is critical that cylinder
components need to be sterilized and particle flake free. The pharmaceutical industry
typically can be harsh on equipment, even abusive but the equipment must remain
completely reliable. EN cylinders provide the most reliable and cost effective choice.

STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless Steel, when used in conjunction with Anodized Aluminum Heads, Caps and Tube,
provide corrosion resistance in outdoor applications and wet environments.
Customize your cylinder by choosing from Stainless Steel Fasteners, Piston Rod,
or Tie Rods and Nuts.
STOP TUBE
Stop Tubes are designed to reduce the
piston rod bushing stress to within the designed range
of the bearing material. This will insure proper cylinder
performance, in any given application. Stop Tubes
lower the cylinder bearing stress by adding length to
the piston, which increases the overall length of the
cylinder. (Note: Milwaukee Cylinder uses a double
piston design for 2-inch and longer stop tubes.)
Stop Tube Selection
To determine the proper amount of stop tube for
your application, you must first find the value of D,
which represents the stroke, adjusted for mounting
condition. Each mounting condition creates different
levels of bushing stress, which have direct impact on
the amount of stop tube required. (See Chart 1)
Once the value of D is known, refer to Chart 2 for
the recommended amount of stop tube.
To order a Stop Tube, add the stop tube prefix
ST= and the length, to the end of your cylinder
model number.
As noted, the working stroke must be included
when ordering.

MN Accessories: Switch Ordering Instructions
ABOUT OUR SWITCHES
Our switches are different! The most common complaint in the market is the unreliability of
magnetically operated switches. Most cylinder piston magnets have about 10-30% more power
than required to operate the switch. This results in erractic operation, a nuisance for maintenance
and lowering overall plant productivity.
Milwaukee Cylinder's magnets have 50-100% more power than required to operate our switch!
The combination of Milwaukee Cylinder's R10, R10P, RAC and MSS Switches and our Cylinders,
raises the reliability of switch operation comparable to that of many mechanically operated
limit switches.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
Noise suppression Motors and valve solenoids will produce high pulses throughout an
electrical system. Therefore, primary and control circuit wiring should not be mixed in the same
conduit. Separate power supplies for both logic level signals (Microprocessor, P.C., CPU, Input
Devices) and Output Field Devices (Motors, Valve Solenoids) is recommended.
Never connect R10, R10P or MSS type switches without a load present. The switch will
be destroyed.
Some electrical loads may be capacitive. Capacitive loading may occur due to distributed
capacity in cable runs over 25 feet. Use switch model RAC whenever capacitive loading
may occur.
To obtain optimum performace and long life, switches should not be subjected to strong
magnetic fields, extreme temperatures (outside of specifications), or excessive ferrous filings
or chip buildup.
Improper wiring may damage or destroy the switch. Therefore, the wiring diagrams along with
the listed power ratings, should be carefully observed before connecting power to the switch.
Following these tips can save time and provide trouble free installations!
