 BC2 BAND CYLINDER Endurance Technology features are
designed for maximum durability to
provide extended service life.
ABT

The BC2 is the direct descendent of the industry’s first pneumatic rodless cylinder, manufactured by Tolomatic, the number one rodless
supplier. Featuring durable stainless steel bands, field replaceable engineered bearings and a large carrier mounting pattern the BC2 is
a great solution for applications that require increased Mx bending moment capacity. Built-to-order in stroke lengths up to 350 inches.

BC2 carrier bracket adjustment bolts should

be adjusted to suit each individual application,
depending on the degree of rigidity required. A good
starting point is to tighten the nut on the bolt until
20

there is no lateral movement of the bolt. Then, equally

LS
tighten each nut on the carrier bolt while moving
BC2

the carrier by hand along the length of the stroke.

When all lateral play in the carrier is eliminated and
200 91 free movement along the length of the stroke is
maintained, your carrier bracket is adjusted properly.

MG
Some applications may require fine tuning of this
adjustment to gain more lateral play or a higher
degree of rigidity. In demanding applications, carrier
adjustments should be done periodically.

 BC2 Auxiliary Carrier - 10, 12, 15, 20, 25 Sizes
PERFORMANCE
The auxiliary carrier option substantially increases load C
carrying and bending moments capacity over the standard L

CARRIER
single carrier models. As a general rule, the auxiliary carrier
option is highly recommended in vertical applications (My) if
ABT

the distance from the carrier mounting surface to the load

center of gravity (CG) exceeds the overall length of the carrier.
Auxiliary carriers can be ordered with (DW) or without (DO) “D”
C
an internal piston. (Auxiliary carriers without a piston have no L

cushion on the cylinder end closest to the auxiliary carrier.)

BC2 Floating Mount Bracket - ALL Sizes

FLOATING MOUNT BRACKET
For applications where a BC2 band cylinder is moving a load
that is externally guided and supported. An externally guided
load, not parallel to the BC2 band cylinder may result in
cylinder binding. The floating mount bracket compensates for
ABT

nonparallelism between the cylinder and the external guide.

(Floating mount brackets are not to be used in conjunction

with shock absorbers)

SWITCHES
DC REED, AC REED (TRIAC)
There are 10 sensing choices: DC reed, form A (open) or form C (open or
AND HALL-EFFECT closed); AC reed (Triac, open); Hall-effect, sourcing, PNP (open); Hall-effect,
sinking, NPN (open); each with either flying leads or QD (quick disconnect).
Commonly used to send analog signals to PLC (programmable logic
ABT

controllers), TLL, CMOS circuit or other controller device. These switches are
activated by the actuator’s magnet.
QUICK-DISCONNECT
COUPLER - MALE END
Switches contain reverse polarity protection. QD cables are shielded; shield
should be terminated at flying lead end.

BC2 Shock Absorbers - 10, 12, 15, 20, 25 Sizes

SHOCK ABSORBERS
Rodless cylinders with standard internal cushion
offer an effective method of decelerating loads.
However, all Tolomatic rodless cylinders are capable
of carrying heavier loads at higher velocities than
ABT

the cylinder cushion can absorb. Optional shock

absorbers can be used to increase the cylinder’s life
and broaden the application range for the cylinder
model you have chosen.
MXP

Tolomatic offers two types of shock absorber

options for use with rodless cylinders. Standard
ORDER CODE ORDER CODE
shock absorbers, which are positioned on the
SD_ or SH_ or SL_ AD_ or AH_ or AL_ cylinder heads for end-of-stroke deceleration and
(_ = Number (_ = Number
ordered) ordered) adjustable shock absorbers which allows the shock
to be positioned at any point along the cylinder.
BC2

Typical shock absorber life varies between 1-2 million cycles (depending on environment) appropriate preventative maintenance
should be consid­ered in high cyclic applications.
NOTE: When 2 shock absorbers are ordered, the unit will be assembled with NO internal cushions.
BC3

NOTE: Adjustable shock absorbers will reduce stroke length. To maintain desired stroke length: when ordering increase
stroke length by the dimension in the table below for each adjustable shock absorber ordered.

CAUTION: In applications which result in a load bending moment at deceleration, care should be taken to decelerate the
load rather than the carrier of the band cylinder.
