For intermediate support, tube support brackets can be mounted to the BC2, BC3, and BC4 models. For the BC3 and BC4 the T-Nuts, that are needed for the brackets, must also be ordered.

Taper Port

Metric versions of the BC2, BC3, BC4 and LS have the choice of parallel port and taper port.

Tensile Strength

The greatest longitudinal stress a substance can bear without permanent deformation.

Terminal

A threaded device attached to the end of a cable cylinder assembly for convenience in making connections and adjustments. One terminal is attached to the piston, while the other is attached to the bracket (clevis).

Tolerance

A specified allowance for error from a desired or measured quantity.

Track Cable Cylinder

A cable cylinder with hardened ground shafts and a guided carrier within linear bearings, giving the cylinder the ability to guide and support moderate work loads.

Triac ac Reed Switch

These switches are designed for signaling end-of-stroke position to devices such as programmable controllers. They can be used to operate ac relays and solenoids if a protection circuit is used and if current and voltage limits are observed.

Tube Deflection

Due to the nature of loads and aluminum extrusions tube deflection will occur if cylinder (linear slide) is supported only on the ends without tube supports at recommended intervals along length of cylinder.

Tube Supports

Optional accessory for band cylinders and linear slides (base mount) to prevent tube deflection.
