2 – Installation & Maintenance TC07SS
INSTALLATION
When unpacking a track cable cylinder, BE EXTRA CAREFUL NOT
TO SCRATCH OR MAR THE NYLON COVERING ON THE CABLE.
The cylinder may be mounted by use of the bolt holes in head.
When attaching the bearing block to a driven mechanism, be sure
it is in perfect alignment and that the load does not exceed the
specifications listed in the catalog.
PRETENSIONING INSTRUCTIONS
All track cable cylinders are shipped without being pretensioned.
They must be tensioned after mounting to insure the maximum
service life of the unit.
To pretension a track cylinder, remove one of the guide shafts to
gain access to the terminals to adjust the cable tension. Block the
load some distance from the end of travel to keep the cylinder from
bottoming. Next, apply pressure 15 to 20 percent higher than the
actual pressure required to move the load. When the load is stopped
externally before the piston bottoms, the relief valve or regulator
setting becomes the load pressure.
When pressurized, one cable will become tight while the other
becomes slack. Manually take up the slack in the cable. Release the
pressure and block the load from the other side. Repeat the manual
adjustment on the other cable. Release pressure and remove the
blocks. Reinstall the guide shaft which had been removed. Return
the regulator to its original setting.
Additional manual adjustment should not be needed initially, after
the cylinder has been pretensioned. It is suggested, however,
that the cable tension be checked periodically, from a preventive
maintenance standpoint.

TO REBUILD CYLINDER
1. Remove the cylinder from machinery.
2. Remove the guide shafts, then disconnect
cables from bearing block and remove pulleys
on both ends of cylinder.
3. Remove one head from cylinder by removing
the four cap screws.
4. Pull piston towards the removed head and
remove from the tube.
5. Disconnect cables from piston. (See Cable
Assembly/Disassembly Instructions at right.)
Then remove the other cylinder head from tube
and disengage cable from it.
6. Install new U-cups and O-rings on pistons.
7. See Cable Assembly/Reassembly Instructions
below. Always lubricate seals with oil when
installing.
8. Put one cable end through each cylinder head.
Reattach one head to tube and connect the end
of one cable to the piston. Then connect the
other cable to the piston.

9. Push piston back into tube by gently tucking in the U-cup. Mount
head back on cylinder with the cap screws. Replace pulleys and
connect cables to bearing block.
10. Pretension cables according to the pretensioning instructions.
11. Operate cylinder back and forth by hand several times to be sure
it is properly assembled before applying pressure.
12. Reinstall cylinder on machinery. Note: Apply (Blue) Loctite®
#242 or equivalent to threaded cable terminal before connecting
to the piston.
If the cylinder identification tag is missing, measure the overall length
of cylinder, including the heads on both ends. Then refer to catalog
dimensional drawing to determine stroke length
SNAP IN/OUT CABLE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your Tolomatic Track Cable Cylinder has been designed to allow
assembly and disassembly of cable assemblies from the cylinder
heads without the use of tools.
DISASSEMBLY:
1. Holding onto cylinder Head (6), pull Piston Terminal (1) until
Bearing Block Terminal (8) is against Washer (4).
2. Put a small amount of slack in Cable (7) as shown in Figure 2.
3. Impart a “snap” action to Piston Terminal (1).
4. With the imparting “snap” action, Washer (2) will release
allowing the removal of the complete cable assembly.
REASSEMBLY:
1. Holding onto cylinder Head (6), string Bearing Block Terminal (8)
through Gland (5) until Washer (2), U-cup (3)
and Washer (4) are held flush against one
another by Piston Terminal (1).
2. Put a small amount of slack in Cable (7) as
shown in Figure 3.
3. Impart a “snap” action to Bearing Block
Terminal (8).
4. With the imparting “snap” action, Washer (2)
will snap into Gland (5).
5. Move the Cable (7) in the opposite direction
as shown in Figure 3, to verify if Washer (2)
is seated in Gland (5). If not, repeat steps
1-4.
MAINTENANCE
Cylinder should be kept as clean as possible
around the pulleys, glands, guide shafts, etc.
Always use air that is adequately lubricated with
SAE 10 or 20 non-detergent oil. Pulleys have
permanently lubricated bearings and require no
maintenance.
Your Tolomatic Track Cable Cylinder will give you many
cycles of trouble free service. However, should a leak
occur, a rebuilding kit can be obtained which enables
you to replace all seals in the cylinder to return it to its
proper operating condition.
