PolySlide composite tubing for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders can replace metallic material in a variety of applications

PolySlide composite tubing for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders can replace metallic material in a variety of applications. Supplied as a cylinder tube ready for customer assembly, or as fully engineered cylinder assemblies for equipment manufacturer applications, the tubing is made of continuous filament-wound glass fiber and polymer resins. The fiberglass filament and resin materials combine to form a high-strength component that exhibits dimensional stability, is noncorroding, is impingement-resistant and is nonconductive. Suitable for service in harsh environments, the cylinder tubing performs in high and low temperatures, grease, grit, salt, chemicals and other extreme conditions. Sizes range from 0.25-in inner diameter (ID) up to industrial-sized 24-in IDs.
