Long stroke cylinders offered on short
lead time
The whole manufacture, assembly and test of a 5.9m rodless cylinder was carried out in less than a day for a customer seeking a short lead time.
The launch of KV's new "Ultraline" range of pneumatic Rodless cylinders was well and truly tested when a customer was seeking a short lead time, for a 5.9m rodless cylinder! "This was by far the longest cylinder the company has currently assembled" advises Steve Hart, KV's production manager "however the whole manufacture, assembly and test was carried out in less than a day" Unlike normal rodless cylinders, where the open design of the extrusion can cause problematic leakages, KV's unique sealing technology combined with a simplistic assembly process ensures that irrespective of bore or stroke, the cylinders can be assembled quickly and efficiently
