Flange mounts are one of the strongest, most rigid methods of mounting. With this type of mount, there is little allowance for misalignment, so when long strokes are required, the free end opposite the mounting should be supported to prevent sagging and possible binding of the cylinder. Blind end mounts are best in a thrust load application and rod end mounts are best in tension applications. When a less rigid mount can be used and the cylinder can be attached to a panel or bulkhead, an extended tie rod mount could be considered.

Notes: The bearing retainer plate is the same as the RD dimension for the 1014 bore. Rod end options shown on page 5.

The Clevis or Pin mounted cylinder is probably the most widely used of all mounts. For short strokes, medium or small cylinder applications, the clevis mounts are recommended. If this mount is applied where stroke requirements cause the overall length to be excessive, the Cap Trunnion mount can be used. Pivot mounts must always be used with a pivot type rod end attachment. Pivot pin and retainer rings included with MP1 mount. The bearing retainer plate is the same as the RD dimension for the 1014 bore sizes. Rod end options shown on page 5.

The side or lug mounted cylinder provides a fairly rigid mount. These type mounts can tolerate a slight amount of misalignment when the cylinder is at full stroke, but as the piston moves toward the blind end, the tolerance for misalignment decreases. It is important to note that if the cylinder is used properly, the mounting bolts are either in simple shear or tension without any compound stresses. An extended key plate option is available to eliminate the need for tted bolts or external keys to carry the thrust load. Note: When specifying an MS2 mount with ports in the 2 or 4 quandrant, be sure to see that sufcient clearance between the port tting and the lug is available to insert a bolt or cap screw into the lug. Rod end options shown on page 5.

All trunnion mount cylinders need a provision on both ends for pivoting. These types of cylinders are designed to carry shear loads and the trunnion and pivot pins should be carried by bearings that are rigidly held and closely t for the entire length of the pin.

All trunnion mount cylinders need a provision on both ends for pivoting. These types of cylinders are designed to carry shear loads and the trunnion and pivot pins should be carried by bearings that are rigidly held and closely t for the entire length of the pin. Specify XV dimension when ordering MT4 Intermediate Fixed Trunnion mounts. If not specied, trunnion will be located at the center of the tube.

Stop Tube
In long cylinders which are pushing a load, internal stop tubes are used to prevent excessive bearing wear and jackkning of the cylinder. They are installed between the piston and the head, providing additional bearing support by increasing the distance between the piston and the head in the fully extended position. For long, trouble free bearing service, the bearing loads should not exceed about 200 psi. Standard cylinders are not designed for heavy eccentric loads. The use of oversize rods to reduced bearing loads is not recommended. They are not as effective as stop tubes, and if misalignment occurs the additional rod stiffness will actually increase bearing loads. For long push stroke cylinders, a stop tube may be required to limit radial bearing loads to a safe value and prevent jackkning. They are especially desirable in long stroke pivoted centerline style mountings. The effect of a stop tube may be duplicated by providing additional unused stroke and stopping the cylinder extension by external means.

Column Strength Considerations

Standard size rods are recommended for use in cylinder applications where column strength, rod sag, or rate of cylinder return do not require an oversize rod. Being more exible, standard rods absorb shock loads and minimize bearing loads caused by misalignments. For long push stroke cylinders, an oversize rod may be required to prevent column failure and rod bending. Total cylinder length, extended is considered in column strength. Refer to the tables on the following pages for calculations regarding the column strength and stop tube required for a cylinder application.

Mounting Considerations for Cylinders - Fixed Non Centerline Mountings

Fixed mount cylinders can tolerate a slight misalignment that is zero at full retraction and increases slightly with stroke. With other than very large rods, a misalignment of about .003" to .005" per foot of stroke is usually permissable. Rigid mounted cylinders cannot tolerate a xed misalignment, particularly at full retraction.

Mounting Considerations for Cylinders - Pivoted Centerline Mountings

If the path of the load is curved or misalignment is a problem, a pivoted centerline mounting should be used. This compensation of nonlinear travel is in one plane only, as would occur during the operation of a lever. Pivot mounts require the rod end attachment to also be a pivot type. Close tolerance pins should be used and it is recommended that the cylinder manufacturer's accessory brackets be used to maintain good ts. For short strokes, medium or smaller bore cylinder applications, the clevis mount is recommended. This is probably the most widely used cylinder mounting. Where the clevis mount should normally be used, but would cause the overall length of the cylinder to be excessive, the cap trunnion mount can be used. Head end trunnions should be carefully applied to either short strokes or to application where the weight of the cylinder falls vertically below the pin. For long stroke cylinders and/or heavy cylinders, the center or intermediate trunnion mount is recommended. This mount supports the weight of the cylinder and should be located near the balance point of the cylinder at the time of maximum thrust. For general applications, a good estimate for the location of the intermediate trunnion is 1/3 back from the head end. The MP5 (universal) type mount is a pivot mount with a spherical bearing tted into the pivot to permit 5 to 10 degrees of movement in a plane perpendicular to the major plane of pivot movement. It is probably the most serviceable of the pivoted centerline mounts. For maximum effectiveness, a spherical bearing type rod end tting should be utilized at the same time.

Mounting Considerations for Cylinders - Fixed Centerline Mountings

These mounting styles, illustrated below, tend to be more stable against sway on the power extension stroke. Rigid machine frame members are required to prevent misalignment under loads. The travel path of the rod end should be linear and be guided if at all possible. Long supported extension of the rod end must be avoided. Refer to the stop tube calculation data which shows the advantages of supporting and using reliable guiding on the rod end. Long stroke cylinders with xed end mounts may require additional support at the free end of the cylinder body. This is illustrated in dotted outlines in the sketches below.

Mounting Considerations for Cylinders - Fixed Non Centerline Mountings

These types of mounts are perhaps the easiest to use for mounting and replacement ease. The offset thrust line introduces bending stresses and additional loads on the mounting bolts. This type should be very well aligned for maximum service life. The load must travel in a very linear path and be supported and guided both horizontally and vertically as the data for calculating stop tube and column strength illustrates. When applying these mounts with offset thrust under high pressure or shock loads, properly located shear pins or keys can be used. These provide positive location and prevent slight movement of the cylinder under shock conditions, which the normal clearance in the mounting bolt holes would allow. Very close tolerances (.001") should be maintained between keys and keyways. Keys should be located as illustrated below, at one end of the cylinder. When using dowel pins, do no pin across opposite corners, as serious twisting stresses will result.

Mounting Considerations for Cylinders

Selection of mounting style depends primarily upon the operating specications of the application. Mountings are generally one of the following three types: 1. Fixed Centerline Mountings Where the thrust of the cylinder is focused on the centerline of the cylinder rod. Fixed Non-Centerline Mountings Where the thrust of the cylinder is aligned parallel to, but not on, the centerline of the cylinder rod. Pivoted Centerline Mountings Where the centerline of the cylinder may swing in one or more directions. Usually major movement is in one plane. Off-center thrust and side loading can be caused by cylinder deection under load, machine frame deection, rod bending or sagging, cylinder pivot binding, nonlinear load movement, shifting of load; some of which are shown below. In addition to the mounting styles, several other factors should be considered when mounting a cylinder. Care should be taken to avoid painting or damaging the exposed portion of the piston rod during construction. Threaded pieces should be pulled tight against thread shoulders to minimize bending and reduce fatigue stress. Rotation of the piston rod within the cylinder should be avoided to prevent possible scoring of the cylinder tube and damage to piston seals. Long cylinders may require additional body support to prevent damaging sag. Major consideration must be given to the factors which might cause premature failure of the cylinder: unusual acceleration, unusual deceleration, alignment, support of cylinder weight, linear or curvilinear travel path of the load being moved, jackkning of the cylinder, and the column strength of the rod. Some mounting styles are more suited than others to each of the above application factors.

3.

A very important general consideration is to keep the cylinder thrust as close as possible to the centerline of the piston rod and free from misalignment or side thrust. Off-center thrust or side loads subtract substantially from the anticipated rod bearing and rod seal service life.

Buckling
The permissible stroke with a exible guided load and a 3.5 factor of safety against buckling can be obtained from the relevant table. For deviating cylinder installation positions, the permissible stroke length has to be interpolated. Permissible strokes for non-guided loads on request. Calculations for buckling are determined using the following formulas: Inuence of the mounting type on buckling length:

1. Calculation according to Euler F= 2EI if > g LK2

2. Calculation according to Tetmajer

Stop Tube
To determine whether a stop is required on push stroke cylinders: Step 1 - Determine which example below corresponds to your application. Step 2 - Determine the value of "L" from the instructions given. The nd "L" dimension in the table at the right for the required stop tube length. (Specify the effective stroke plus the stop tube length when ordering). Step 3 - Add stop tube length to original "L" dimension to obtain your adjusted "L" dimension. Example: "L" = 96", therefore, Stop Tube = 6" Adjusted L = 102" (96+6)

Step 4 - Use adjusted "L" to gure rod column strength at maximum pressure rating of the cylinder, page 21.

Typical rigidly mounted cylinders with rod unsupported at free end. May be mounted either horizontally or vertically. Use the equation L = 4D to determine values of "L" for all cylinder mountings in this category.

Column Strength and Oversize Rod Selection

Standard rod diameters are recommended for all Pull Stroke applications. To determine the correct rod diameter required for Push Stroke application, follow these simple steps: Step 1 Determine the value of "L" from the illustrations shown on page 20. (Use Adjusted "L" dimension for cylinder with Stop Tube). Step 2 From your cylinder size and maximum operating pressure, determine your Push Stroke Thrust. Step 3 Find your thrust in the left hand column and located your "L" dimension (or Adjusted "L" dimension in the same horizontal line to the right; (if your exact "L" or adjusted "L" dimension is not shown, move to the right in the same horizontal column to the next larger number). Read vertically up from this number to the rod diameter shown. This is the required rod diameter for your application.
