Piston/Cylinder Sets feature self-lubricating design.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:16:32 -0500

Constructed using graphite piston/borosilicate glass cylinder combination, Piston and Cylinder Sets respond to forces as low as a few grams and pressures less than 0.2 psi. Starting and running friction are almost identical, preventing jerky, uncontrolled starts. Exhibiting friction of less than 1 g without side loads, sets are unaffected by extreme temperature variations, run clean, and do not contaminate surrounding components. Cylinder bore sizes range from 0.220-1.75 in.
