Introduced over 40 years ago as the first rodless
cylinder, the Tol-O-Matic cable cylinder provides reliable linear motion
with space and cost-savings features. Its simple yet efficient design,
solves a wide variety of application requirements. Unlike rod cylinders,
the cable cylinder's stroke is contained within the cylinder itself and
that can be a big advantage when space limitations are a consideration.
The cable cylinder also allows equal force to be applied in both
directions. Cables (fastened to both ends of the piston) pass through
gland seals at the ends of the cylinder tube, go around pulleys and are
then joined by a load bracket or clevis. The cables can be cut different
lengths, threaded through a machine or wrapped around a drum to fill a
wide variety of rotary and/or linear motion requirements. First in the
industry to offer an automatic tensioning cylinder and combine it with a
caliper disc brake for mid-stroke positioning, Tol-O-Matic also offers
reed switch options on most cylinder models.
