Fitting the piston
Information
Piston seals have a sensitive sealing lip which should only be inserted into the cylinder tube with a pulling
action. For this reason the fitting sequence should be carried out as follows:
• Push on one piston seal (24) (so that groove of piston seal shows on outside).
• Only for Cylinder Ø 63 and 80: push in the two side wipers (31) so that wiper lip shows on outside
(see diagram) and adjust their position.
• Grease piston seal and fill its groove with grease.
Risk of injury from contact with the sharp edge of the band!
Gloves must be worn!
• Place inner sealing band (17) on flat band guide of one support ring
(so that „ground edge“ side lies on support ring).
• Push inner sealing band through piston without creasing it.
• Push the piston into the cylinder bore, inserting the end without the
piston seal first.
• Only for Cylinder Ø 63 and Ø 80: place the two side wipers on to the
cylinder profile and slowly move the piston further along while checking
that the position of the side wipers is symmetrical.
• Put the pin into the centering hole of the inner sealing band, which is
located in the cylinder barrel. Push inner sealing band into the cylinder
until the other centering hole is flush with the end of the support ring.
Do not push centering hole of the inner sealing band over the piston seal.
• Insert piston.
When inserting the second support ring it is imperative to push down
the piston in order to avoid damaging the inner sealing band.
• Push the piston completely into the barrel and continue pushing with
the sealing band until it emerges on the other side.
• Push the piston together with the inner sealing band into the cylinder
bore, inserting the side without piston sealing first.
• Put the pin into the centering hole of the inner sealing band, which is
located in the cylinder barrel. Push inner sealing band into the cylinder
until the other centering hole is flush with the end of the support ring.
• Move the piston to the middle until one side of the inner sealing band is flush with the cylinder barrel.
• Only for Cylinder Ø 63 and 80: check again that position of side wipers
is symmetrical
• Remove excess grease from ends of cylinder profile.
Torque to be applied to screws
For the steps described below it is necessary to apply the torque listed in the table when turning the screws
home. It is imperative to apply the correct torque in order to ensure the safe function of the cylinder during
operation.
