Slotted cylinder
Oval makes you strong
Aventics presents a slotted cylinder. The heart of the RTC-SB (SB stands for slide bearing) is, as with the manufacturer's other double-acting slotted cylinders, the oval piston shape.
It ensures a high load capacity compared to the size. As a result, designers achieve an even more compact machine design. Equipped with a lubrication-free plain bearing, the cylinder is maintenance-free and insensitive to water, chemicals and dirt. The slide clearance is preset to an optimally low level ex works. The RTC-SB is designed for a maximum speed of up to 6.5 meters per second. The maximum stroke is around 6,600 millimeters. A wear-free, magnetically held outer band as well as wipers and sealing strips protect the cylinder from dust and dirt.
The adjustable pneumatic end position damping increases the service life and ensures precise and gentle operation. The form-fit connection technology with standardized mechanical interfaces simplifies the machine design and speeds up assembly, as adjustment work is no longer necessary. The RTC-SB version with piston diameters of 25 to 40 millimetres closes a previous gap in the portfolio between the basic version (RTC-BV) and the RTC-CG (compact guide) and RTC-HD (heavy duty) versions designed for high loads. pb
