1.3 General product description
Fig. 2
The rod (A) has been obtained from bars of hardened and tempered, high-strength, chromed
and honed alloy steel with roughness Ra=0.2 µm. The rods, up to diameter 110mm, are
induction hardened and tempered before the chromium plating, with Rockwell hardness C 54.
This solution assures longer life of seals. The dimensions are based on a safety factor 4:1,
referred to the ultimate tensile strength and maximum operating pressure.
The Piston (C), necessary for force transmission, is made of spheroidal graphite cast iron, it is
connected to the rod by means of threaded connection and clamped in position by means of a
dowel, in order to ensure highest reliability also in extreme conditions. Its standard
configuration includes some guide rings (M) in composite material (static load 345N/mm2)
which, besides having a support function, operate as barrier against possible impurities
affecting the seals. The seal is made of bidirectional polyurethane (I), internally energized by
means of O-ring, it ensures excellent tightness, movements free of sticks and slips and
prolonged resistance to wear. Alternatively, a configuration of piston with packing seals,
Chevron type (see Fig. 3), is also possible.

The Cylinder head (D), made of high-strength steel, is precision-machined to ensure perfect
alignment between the surfaces and also perfect concentricity of the seat of the rod guide
bushing with cylinder axis. The hydraulic circuit connection has been positioned on the head,
which is bolted to the barrel by means of the threaded flanges (H) and, upon request, vents
and braking valves are also available.
Tightening torques of the screws used to lock the head in place are given in this table:

Tab.2
The barrel (E) has been obtained from a large thickness, seamless tube made of high-strength
steel; it is internally lapped to improve sliding and to ensure long life to seals. The barrel has
been dimensioned on account of the regulations in force and the required nominal pressures.
The dimensioning is such that the bulking of the barrel, due to internal pressure, remains
within the limits ensuring the proper working of piston seals and guide rings. Upon request, it
can be internally chrome-plated.

End cap (F). When the rod retracts, the piston can abut against the end cap. In this case, the
tensile forces and possible external loads are absorbed by the end cap. A connection to the
hydraulic circuit is located on the end cap and, upon request, vents and braking valves are also
available. The end cap is bolted to the barrel by means of the relevant threaded flanges (H).
The tightening torques of the screws that clamp the end cap have been stated in Table 2 at
page 4.
The rod guide bushing (G) in spheroidal graphite cast iron is highly resistant to wear. The
surface of the guide bushing supports the rod when it slides. Standard configuration includes
a packing seal (LC), Chevron type, on the farthest side of the bushing, thus enabling
continuous lubrication when in motion. For easy maintenance, the bushing provided with
seals has been introduced in a precision seat and locked in place by a front flange (N)
attached to the head.
Up to diameter 100 mm (included) the flange is threaded; for greater diameters the flange is
fastened by means of screws (the same for the low-friction bushing). The corresponding
tightening torques are illustrated in the following table:
BORE (mm) 125 140 160 180 200 250 320

The scraper (B) is positioned in the flange thus ensuring the cleaning of the rod when it
retracts. A low friction configuration is possible also for the rod guide bushing (see fig. 4).

The seals must be chosen according to the operating conditions of the system: speed,
frequency, kind of fluid and temperature. Cylinder seals are, primarily:
- Static (I), used between two non-moving parts. For instance, the seals between head (or
end cap) and barrel or between rod and piston.
- Dynamic (L) (LC), used between moving parts. For instance, the seals between rod and
bushing or between piston and barrel.
- Guide rings (M), they act as support and ensure the correct sliding between piston and
barrel.
The seals must be replaced at regular intervals (see paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3). The kits fitted to
the cylinder (and for possible replacement) are: standard, high temperatures or aggressive
fluids, water glycol, low friction.
Gradual action, front and rear cushioning. The front cushioning, rod side, has been realized by
means of a self-centering braking ogive, with special profile for gradual cushioning and
absence of pressure peaks. The braking effect in opposite direction is made possible thanks to
the ball by-pass valve in the head. The rear cushioning is obtained by means of the tail rod and
self-centering ring in special, high-strength, seizure-free material. The ring nut, thanks to its
design, acts as by-pass valve in reverse direction in order to enable quick rod exit.

The mounting elements enable the cylinder installation in the machine or in the system. They
are enbloc and highly resistant, their dimensions and tolerances comply with ISO 6022
standard and related regulations. In addition to these mounting elements, also foot mounting
is available, according to standard sizes available on the market.
Upon request, air vents can be installed on the heads; they enable air bleeding which forms
upon start-up, when the entire cylinder stroke is not exploited or when the fitting connections
are not facing upwards.
In long-stroke cylinders or in the regenerative circuits, in which the annular chamber is
steadily under pressure, it is advisable to ask for a connection on the front head to drain the
fluid which has deposited between the first and the second tightening seal.
The spacers (see Fig. 5) prevent the piston from abuting against the head when the rod is
completely extended, in order to increase the distance between piston and head. This enables
an increase of the lever arm between the bushing and the piston, with consequent increase of
rod stiffness. The number of spacers to be used depends on load conditions and kind of
fastening (see specific catalogue).

Hereunder a list of directives to be observed for a correct replacement of piston seals. Use the
drawing of Fig. 21 as reference.
Remove the screws that fix the head to the ring nut of the barrel. Pull off the front flange, rod
guide bushing and head, when they are still assembled, being careful not to damage the rod.
Pull off the rod-piston unit, release the stop dowel C and remove the piston.
Be extremely careful not to damage the seals of the bushing due to possible contact with the
thread at rod end.
After having removed the worn-out seals, carry out a thorough washing of all parts with
accurate examination of the barrel, rod and piston in order to ascertain that no scorings, burrs
or any other kind of damages have been caused to the surface. In case of damage, ask
Stocchetta Cilindri S.r.l. for spare parts in order to provide for the replacement.
If the cylinder is provided with cushioning, check - after having disassembled the rod-piston
unit from the cylinder body – that the cushioning components are not damaged or worn out.
Lubricate the new seals to be fitted and their seats in the bushing by making use of specific
grease type Polymer 400\0 (to be supplied upon request). The specific feature of grease is to
improve the sensitivity, accuracy, tightness and service life of the seals, thus avoiding sticking
and jerky movements (stick-slip effect), besides facilitating the motions at low speeds by
decreasing the frictions.

Check the correct orientation of the seals with respect to the thrust direction of the hydraulic
fluid as illustrated in the following figure (Fig. 22).

Insert the new packing seals and replace the O-ring of the piston. Assemble the rod-piston
unit, clamp the stop dowel with LOCTITE 270 and reassemble it. Reassemble the front flange
unit, the rod guide bushing and the head, being careful not to damage the rod or the seals
positioned in the assembled unit. Tighten the screws that clamp the head to the ring nut of
the barrel. Tighten the screws crosswise by applying a gradual tightening torque up to the
maximum value stated in Table 2 at page 4.

Install the seals of the piston by operating evenly and avoiding any use of metallic, sharp-
edged tools, being extremely careful not to cause any long-term deformation to the seals.
Install the O-ring in its seat by expanding it as much as necessary. Place the sealing ring into
the groove, over the O-ring (see Fig. 25) and enlarge it by hand until it correctly fits (see Fig.
26).
