Custom Cylinder: How to Prepare Your Request
This is our second custom-design family for machine-specific cylinders. The biggest time loss in custom projects is missing information — sharing the points below up front shortens design and quotation considerably.
If an existing cylinder is being replaced, a photo of how it is mounted on the machine helps as much as its dimensions.
| Motion | Stroke, speed, cycle rate |
| Force | Load or required push/pull force, supply pressure |
| Mounting | Body and rod-end mounting, port position, environment |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important information?

Why does the environment matter?
Seals and materials are chosen for dust, humidity and temperature.
