Tandem cylinders multiply force output by connecting two or more cylinders in series, effectively doubling or tripling available force while maintaining compact installation footprints, delivering up to 200% more force than single cylinders of equivalent size through synchronized operation.
Temperature directly affects cylinder seal performance through material expansion, hardness changes, and chemical degradation, with proper material selection enabling reliable operation from -40°C to +200°C while maintaining leak-tight performance and extended service life.
Barrel scoring and piston damage can be prevented through proper filtration, regular maintenance, correct installation practices, and using quality replacement components that maintain precise tolerances and surface finishes.
Rod lock units provide fail-safe mechanical locking that maintains cylinder position even during air pressure loss, preventing dangerous load drops and ensuring precise positioning for critical manufacturing processes.
Effective piston area in double-acting cylinders equals full bore area during extension and bore area minus rod area during retraction, with calculations requiring precise diameter measurements and consideration of pressure differentials for accurate force predictions.
