Description

SC/SU cylinder configurations

The SC/SU family combines double-acting pneumatic cylinders with selectable rod arrangements, mounting styles and magnetic-piston options. SC uses the exposed tie-rod construction shown in the gallery; select the exact SC or SU body and mounting configuration when matching an existing installation. The second gallery view shows an adjustable-stroke double-rod configuration.

Outline and mounting dimensions

Use the drawing for the chosen rod configuration. Standard length is A + stroke; double-rod length is A1 + 2 × stroke; adjustable double-rod length is A2 + 2 × stroke + adjustment. Linear values are in millimeters; K, L and O are thread designations. Unspecified values are shown as —.
