| Band Cylinder |
| A the name for a rodless cylinder using Tol-O-Matic’s patented band retention system. Band cylinders feature a central slot. A band-type cylinder uses a bracket directly mounted to the cylinder piston to transmit force. The bracket passes between two bands which then seal the cylinder. The inner sealing band creates a tight metal to metal seal with the internal diameter of the cylinder bore. An outer dust band keeps dust and grit away from the sealing band. Elastomer strips provide a positive, non-magnetic lock. Tol-O-Matic models include: BC2, BC3, BC4 |

| Bar |
| The IS Metric unit of pressure equal to one million Dynes per square centimeter. The bar is used to measure both pneumatic and hydraulic pressure. One Bar is equal to 14.5038 pounds per square inch. It is also nearly equivalent to one atmosphere of pressure. |
