Elevated cushion volume and the adoption of a new cushion seal design permit about 30% more allowable kinetic energy over the CA1 series. In addition, service life of cushion seal is about 5 times greater. Increased kinetic energy absorption Series MB, MBW, MBK, MBKW, MB Double acting, Non-rotating rod Double acting, Non-rotating rod, Double rod Low friction Double acting, Double rod Double acting, Single rod Improved cushion capacity “Floating” cushion seal design eliminates piston rod “bouncing” due to cracking pressure at beginning of stroke. Compact and lightweight design The square cover is made more compact than the CA1 series. In addition, die cast covers yield 10 to 25% weight reduction over the CA1 series. Minimal rod deflection Improved bushing and piston rod dimensional accuracy achieves tighter clearances and reduced piston rod deflection. Accurate mounting The cylinder cover and mounting bracket with high dimensional accuracy simplifies installation and extends service life. 406
