Compact Air's Patented Cylinder Design


Simple Extrusion: The basic extrusion is plain to increase design options and  eliminate some of the problems with cookie cutter clones.

  • Clean lines

  • Six mounting surfaces

  • Easily modified for tight spaces

  • Eliminates multiple dirt traps

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flush End Cap:
  • Maximum possible stroke for a given cylinder body length
  • No Dirt traps

Patented End Cap: Cross-sectional profile exposes more of the piston surface to air pressure at the beginning of the stroke. This gives the cylinder a faster response. The design also provides a self-cushioning effect to lessen noise.

Free-Flowing Port Orifices: The direct orifices (no turns or angles) deliver a large air volume at any pressure. This improves cycling rate and responsiveness.

 

AccuGrainTM Manufactured Bores: All cylinder bores are first diamond-honed for roundness and then work-hardened for smoothness. This process produce a super low friction surface with outstanding lubrication retention. 

 

Advanced Seal Designs: The "figure-8" piston seals are made of Buna-N have a low breakout friction, low running friction, longer life, and positive sealing. 
Tuf-CoatTM Husky Piston: The extended-length piston in heavy-duty series cylinder features a proprietary Tuf-CoatTM fluoropolymer piston surface coating. The surface has very minimal break-away force, and a large bearing area that prevents scoring: without the use of thin wear strips.

Tuf-Coat II TM Engineered Rod Surface: The rod surface finish features the highly refined  Tuf-Coat II TM PTFE filled chromium on stainless steel with a hardness of Rc72. 

PTFE: Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon)

Three Duty Options:
  • Standard Duty: Typically 60% smaller then conventional cylinders with the shortest overall cylinder length for a given stroke.
  • Intermediate Duty: Deeper end cap bushing for improved side loading.
  • Heavy Duty: Deeper end cap bushing  and longer piston for maximum side loading. This piston also has the proprietary Tuf-CoatTM piston coating.
Modifications: Compact Air has over 10,000 files of modified special cylinders: From simple porting changes to 100% custom designed cylinders.
