Piston 720

The Hallite 720 solves difficult assembly problems and can be a cost-effective alternative to the traditional piston assembly which has a separately fitted seal and bearing(s). This seal improves stability and has smaller extrusion gaps that extend the life of the piston seal. Moulding the bearing material over the outer diameter gives an extremely tight fit between the piston and the cylinder bore. The piston diameter is tightly controlled which reduces the tolerance build up and results in increased performance. The Hallite 720 unitized piston is constructed using five components: High strength steel body Non-metallic bearing Rubber energiser Filled PTFE seal ring for inch sizes Polyurethane seal ring for metric sizes Product details The steel piston body is machined to exact dimensions. The non-metallic bearing material is moulded to the piston using a special proprietary process. It is then machined to the final precise outer diameter dimension to suit the cylinder bore and the seal is fitted. It is supplied ready to be attached to the piston rod for use in a cylinder. In many cases the Hallite 720 is also supplied with an internal static sealing O-ring to provide a positive seal between the piston and the rod. Those marked with an asterisk in the part number range on the following pages do not have this internal seal. The materials used in the standard unitised piston are selected to handle a broad range of application parameters.
