The DPC family of inch series “pancake” cylinders offer high force and short stroke for tight spaces. The DPCA for new machines has an aluminum body and is clear-anodized for corrosion resistance. The DPCB is designed for maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) applications with drop-in compatibility to other manufacturers. It features a hard, chrome-plated stainless steel piston rod and a nonmetallic composite rod bushing. Both prelubricated models feature a choice of eight bore sizes and variable stroke lengths up to 4 in. Magnetic piston options are available for cylinder position sensing, as are sensors and other accessories such as clevises. Custom cylinders also are available.
