The latest generation of marine fuel filtration technology from Parker Hannifin is being used in the Garmin Racing powerboat that will compete in the Round Britain Powerboat Race in June
The latest MW roundline series is available in two versions: the MWA, for working pressures up to 250 bar, and the MWB for pressures of up to 160 bar.
Depending on the version, standard stroke lengths range up to 4,000mm, in a choice of bore sizes between 32mm and 200mm, with piston rod diameters from 14mm to 200mm.
In each case, the MW Series cylinders feature threaded head end rod bearings which accommodate a high performance polyurethane lipseal and wiper seal, while MWA cylinders are fitted with an additional PTFE seal with energiser.
All models feature welded end caps.
Both MWA and MWB ranges are available with a choice of five mounting options including flange, trunnion and pivot styles.
Each piston rod is manufactured from precision ground, high tensile carbon steel, hard chrome plated to a minimum thickness of 20 microns and polished, to ensure a long service life.
One-piece steel pistons are fitted with a durable elastomeric sealing element, supported by twin wear/anti-extrusion rings.
This robust construction ensures that each cylinder provides a long and reliable operating life with minimal maintenance requirements.
The standard MW Series hydraulic cylinders are designed for use with all conventional hydraulic fluids including water-based and 'green' fluids, and are able to withstand temperatures from -30 to +80C.
They can be customised to meet specific customer requirements; for example, spherical bearings at the rod and cap ends can be specified if an application requires a degree of tolerance when misalignment occurs when traversing a curved track.
Other options include integrated valve and manifolds, custom paint finishes, position switches, air bleeds, custom thread forms and lengths, as well as linear transducers. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
