Pneumatic Rodless Actuators - BC2 Series Band Cylinders - Actuator Options

Auxiliary Carrier
The Auxiliary Carrier option substantially increases load carrying and bending moments capacity over the standard single carrier models.  As a general rule, this option is highly recommended in vertical applications (MY) if the distance from the carrier mounting surface to the load center of gravity (CG) exceeds the overall length of the carrier. Auxiliary Carriers can be ordered with or without an internal piston.

Foot Mounts
Foot mounts are an option on all bore sizes of BC2 Series Band Cylinders when an application requires the mounting to be different than flush. They may be specified on one or both sides of the cylinder.

For dimensions please refer to specific BC2 models. 

Tube Support Mounting
For intermediate support, tube support brackets can be mounted to any BC2 model during assembly procedure. Made of black-anodized aluminum, the brackets are designed to fit into dovetail grooves which run the length of the cylinder tube.

Floating Carrier Mount
Floating Mount brackets are available for applications where a BC2 Band Cylinder is moving a load that is externally guided and supported or when compensating for nonparallelism between the cylinder and the independent guiding member is required. Independently guided loads, which are not parallel to the cylinder, may result in the cylinder binding if the floating mount bracket is not used.(Not to be used in conjunction with shock absorbers)

For dimensions please refer to specific BC2 models. 

Standard Shock Absorbers
Shock absorbers are positioned on the cylinder heads for end-of-stroke deceleration. Availble in light and heavy duty performance capacity. See individual models for performance data.

Adjustable Mount Shock Absorbers
Adjustable Mount shock absorbers can be postioned at any point along the cylinder tube. Availble in light and heavy duty performance capacity. See individual models for performance data.
