Clippard Instrument Laboratory, Inc.

Designed for use in a broad range of applications including those in washdown and caustic environments, these quality cylinders are constructed of durable 303 stainless steel. They include a Nitrile rod wiper to keep potential contaminants from penetrating inside the cylinder, and are available with bore sizes from 34" to 2". Standard stroke lengths are from 1" up to 32" on some models. In 1949, Clippard introduced miniature pneumatic cylinders and valves to the industry. No other manufacturer can compare to this depth of knowledge or level of experience with miniature components. Over the years, Clippard has responded to requests from cylinder users to provide additional sizes of air cylinders and auxiliary support products. While competitively priced, these products maintain the Clippard standard for quality and reliability that has been the industry standard for many years.

Clippard Instrument Laboratory's Air Force One compact cylinders are available in double acting, spring return, spring extend and double rod models. GMR sensors and magnetic piston versions are also available. The AFO cylinder features include a stainless steel tube and roller burnished piston rod. This means longer rod and piston seal life. For corrosive environments, where dirt and abrasives may be ingested, and cause seals to wear faster than normally expected, the AFO offers the benefit of tie rod construction. This enables seals to be replaced, rather than replacing the entire cylinder. The non-corrosive construction of the AFO cylinder body is reliable in abrasive environments, able to withstand the toughest conditions. The various mounting configurations available in the AFO cylinders assure freedom to interchange with most cylinders on the market. This means most systems can be upgraded to include quality AFO cylinders.
