FLAIRLINE NFPA INTERCHANGEABLE ROUND BODY CYLINDERS by Flairline

Air-Oil Systems

Manufacturer: Flairline

Flairline offers one of the widest range and competitively priced round body pneumatic cylinder lines on the market today. We offer bore sizes from 1/2" - 4". These cylinders offer aluminum construction and chrome plated or stainless steel rods, and circumflex key design (allows easy disassembly for repair). Models include double-acting, single-acting, double-acting double-ended cap-to-cap and tandem. The Round-Body line offers many different types of piston styles to accommodate any application. Along with our standard piston styles, Flairline offers a "Low-Friction" style that has been quoted as being 'The best on the Market!" No matter what your application, Flairline has a round body style cylinder that will do the job.

F TYPE Pressure energized, double lip type "uni-piston" seal. Rubber bonded to a plated disc to assure positive sealing

F Type-NFPA Interchangeable Cylinders

F type (Series FI), NFPA interchangeable cylinders feature a pressure energized, wear compensating double lip type, "uni-piston" seal (Buna N). Rubber bonded to a plated disc to assure positive sealing, will outlast O-rings and can never score cylinder I.D. Available in 1 1/2" - 4" bore sizes, with pneumatic operation up to 150 psi. The F type offers aluminum construction and chrome plated steel or stainless steel rods. We've eliminated tie rods for space saving NFPA mounting, lighter weight and easy maintenance. Models include double-acting, double-acting double-ended and non-rotating (Series FINR). See Flairline "Cylinders and Valves" for additional information including mounting accessories and dimensional data.

 

O Type-NFPA  Interchangeable Cylinders

O type (Series OI), NFPA interchangeable cylinders include a Dynamic O-ring piston seal (Buna N standard; Viton* available). Available in 1 1/2" - 4" bore sizes with aluminum construction and chrome plated steel or stainless steel rods. We've eliminated tie rods for space saving NFPA mounting, lighter weight and easy maintenance. Operating systems can be pneumatic up to 150 psi. Consult factory for hydraulic use. Models include double-acting, double-acting double-ended and non-rotating (Series OINR). In addition, a low friction model (Series OILF) is available in a double-acting model with pneumatic operation up to 150 psi. See Flairline "Cylinders and Valves" catalog for additional information including NFPA interchangeable mounting styles, rod end styles, accessories and dimensional data.

 

OIM Type-NFPA  Interchangeable Cylinders

Series OIM, NFPA interchangeable cylinders include a Dynamic O-ring piston seal (Buna N). Piston includes a magnet for use with Reed or Hall Effect switches. Stainless steel mounting bands can be adjusted to any location allowing several switches to be mounted. Available in 1 1/2" - 4" bore sizes with aluminum construction and chrome plated steel or stainless steel rods. We've eliminated tie rods for space saving NFPA mounting, lighter weight and easy maintenance. Operating systems can be pneumatic up to 150 psi. Consult factory for hydraulic use. Models include double-acting and non-rotating (Series OIMNR). See Flairline "Cylinders and Valves" catalog for additional information including NFPA interchangeable mounting styles, rod end styles, accessories and dimensional data.

 

Pistons and their recommended applications

Round Body Cylinders
F Type  - High cycle pneumatic only. Not good if side loaded.
O Type  - High cycle hydraulic or pneumatic. Decent side loading characteristics.
H Type  - Good for hydraulic or pneumatic. Fair side load capabilities.
D Type  - Excellent for hydraulic or pneumatic. Best for side loading conditions.
M Type  - Same as H Type and has magnet for use with reed and hall effect switches.
DM Type  - Same as D Type and has magnet for use with reed and hall effect switches.
OIM Type  - High cycle hydraulic or pneumatic. Not good if side loaded.
OLF/OILF Type  - Low friction for pneumatic use, capable of handling minimum side load.
Note: All the pistons above are used in the various cylinder series in catalog FL-32-C.
