Standard bore sizes up to 12" with pressure ratings of up to 3000 PSI, depending on mount and stroke. All Higginson cylinders are available with non-standard options such as stainless steel, high-temp seals or use with exotic fluids. We offer all NFPA mounts in addition to custom mounts, which we proudly manufacture in one of the industry's quickest lead times.
1.5" to 12" Bore
Foot mounted cylinders are mounted to the bottom, side or end of the head or cap. Foot mounts must operate at lower pressure on large bore or long stroke cylinders. Clevis mounted cylinders are required when a load must move through an arc. Clevis cylinders may need to be de-rated or used with stop tubes for long stroke applications, especially without a guided load.
Side End Angle Mount. A fixed mount with force transferred in a straight line. Force is not absorbed along the cylinder centreline. As with most side mount cylinders, MS1 mounts create a rotating moment, requiring a minimum stroke length equal to their bore size. The MS1 is the weakest side mount, and should be limited to less than 500 PSI.
End Lug Mount. A fixed mount with force transferred in a straight line. Force is not absorbed along the cylinder centreline. As with most side mount cylinders, MS7 mounts create a rotating moment, requiring a minimum stroke length equal to their bore size.
Fixed Cap Clevis Mount. Allows for changes in cylinder alignment. Forces are absorbed along cylinder centreline. A pivot pin of adequate strength must be used to resist shear load. On long stroke cylinders, oversized rod or stop tube may be required to prevent rod buckling.
