Safety Guidelines

Air Cylinders for Valve Actuation Series VL

Parker Safety Guide for Selecting and Using Pneumatic Cylinders and Their Accessories
WARNING: FAILURE OR IMPROPER SELECTION OR IMPROPER USE OF CYLINDERS AND THEIR RELATED ACCESSORIES CAN CAUSE DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Before selecting or using Parker cylinders or related accessories, it is important that you read, understand and follow the following safety information. User Responsibility Due to very wide variety of cylinder applications and cylinder operating conditions, Parker does not warrant that any particular cylinder is suitable for any specific application. This safety guide does not analyze all technical parameters that must be considered in selecting a product. The hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders outlined in this catalog are designed to Parkers design guide lines and do not necessarily meet the design guide lines of other agencies such as American Bureau of Shipping, ASME Pressure Vessel Code etc. The user, through its own analysis and testing, is solely responsible for: Making the final selection of the cylinders and related accessories. Determining if the cylinders are required to meet specific design requirements as required by the Agency(s) or industry standards covering the design of the users equipment. Assuring that the users requirements are met, OSHA requirements are met, and safety guidelines from the applicable agencies such as but not limited to ANSI are followed and that the use presents no health or safety hazards. Providing all appropriate health and safety warnings on the equipment on which the cylinders are used. Seals Part of the process of choosing a cylinder is the selection of seal compounds. Before making this selection read the Operating Fluids and Seals information in the Application Engineering Data section of the current 0106 or 0900P catalogs, or contact our engineering department. The application of cylinders may allow fluids such as cutting fluids, wash down fluids etc. to come in contact with the external area of the cylinder. These fluids may attack the piston rod wiper and or the primary seal and must be taken into account when selecting and specifying seal compounds. Dynamic seals will wear. The rate of wear will depend on many operating factors. Wear can be rapid if a cylinder is mis-aligned or if the cylinder has been improperly serviced. The user must take seal wear into consideration in the application of cylinders. Piston Rods Possible consequences of piston rod failure or separation of the piston rod from the piston include, but are not limited to are: Piston rod and or attached load thrown off at high speed. High velocity fluid discharge. Piston rod extending when pressure is applied in the piston retract mode. Piston rods or machine members attached to the piston rod may move suddenly and without warning as a consequence of other conditions occurring to the machine such as, but not limited to: Unexpected detachment of the machine member from the piston rod. Failure of the pressurized fluid delivery system (hoses, fittings, valves, pumps, compressors) which maintain cylinder position. Catastrophic cylinder seal failure leading to sudden loss of pressurized fluid. Failure of the machine control system. Follow the recommendation for the maximum cylinder stroke found in Dimensional Table 1 of this catalog. The suggested maximum stroke in these charts must be followed in order to avoid piston rod buckling. Piston rods are not normally designed to absorb bending moments or loads which are perpendicular to the axis of piston rod motion. These additional loads can cause the piston rod to fail. If these types of additional loads are expected to be imposed on the piston rod, their magnitude should be made known to our engineering department. The cylinder user should always make sure that the piston rod is securely attached to the machine member. On occasion cylinders are ordered with double rods (a piston rod extended from both ends of the cylinder). In some cases a stop is threaded on to one of the piston rods and used as an external stroke adjuster. On occasions spacers are attached to the machine member connected to the piston rod and also used as a stroke adjuster. In both cases the stops will create a pinch point and the user should consider appropriate use of guards. If these external stops are not perpendicular to the mating contact surface, or if debris is trapped between the contact surfaces, a bending moment will be placed on the piston rod, which can lead to piston rod failure. An external stop will also negate the effect of cushioning and will subject the piston rod to impact loading. Those two (2) conditions can cause piston rod failure. Internal stroke adjusters are available with and without cushions. The use of external stroke adjusters should be reviewed with our engineering department. The piston rod to piston and the stud to piston rod threaded connections are secured with an anaerobic adhesive. The strength of the adhesive decreases with increasing temperature. Cylinder which can be exposed to temperatures above +250F (+121C) are to be ordered with a non studded piston rod and a pinned piston to rod joint. Always mount cylinders using the largest possible high tensile alloy steel socket head cap screws that can fit in the cylinder mounting holes and torque them to the manufacturers recommendations for their size. Port Fittings Hydraulic cylinders applied with meter out or deceleration circuits are subject to intensified pressure at piston rod end. The rod end pressure is approximately equal to: operating pressure x effective cap end area effective rod end piston area Contact your connector supplier for the pressure rating of individual connectors. Cylinder Modifications or Repairs Cylinders as shipped from the factory are not to be disassembled and or modified. If cylinders require modifications, these modifications must be done at Parker locations or by Parker certified facilities. It is allowed to disassemble cylinders for the purpose of replacing seals or seal assemblies. However, this work must be done by strictly following all the instructions provided with the seal kits.

Storage/Installation/Mounting

Air Cylinders for Valve Actuation Series VL

Storage, Installation, Mounting Recommendations, and Cylinder Troubleshooting

Storage
At times cylinders are delivered before a customer is ready to install them and must be stored for a period of time. When storage is required the following procedures are recommended. 1. Store the cylinders in an indoor area which has a dry, clean and noncorrosive atmosphere. Take care to protect the cylinder from both internal corrosion and external damage. 2. Whenever possible cylinders should be stored in a vertical position (piston rod up). This will minimize corrosion due to possible condensation which could occur inside the cylinder. This will also minimize seal damage. 3. Port protector plugs should be left in the cylinder until the time of installation. 4. If a cylinder is stored full of hydraulic fluid, expansion of the fluid due to temperature changes must be considered. Installing a check valve with free flow out of the cylinder is one method. 2. Cylinder body seal leak can generally be traced to loose tie rods. Torque the tie rods to manufacturers recommendation for that bore size. Excessive pressure can also result in cylinder body seal leak. Determine maximum pressure to rated limits. Replace seals and retorque tie rods as in paragraph above. Excessive pressure can also result in cylinder body seal leak. Determine if the pressure rating of the cylinder has been exceeded. If so, bring the operating pressure down to the rating of the cylinder and have the tie rods replaced. Pinched or extruded cylinder body seal will also result in a leak. Replace cylinder body seal and retorque as in paragraph above. Cylinder body seal leakage due to loss of radial squeeze which shows up in the form of flat spots or due to wear on the O.D. or I.D. Either of these are symptoms of normal wear due to high cycle rate or length of service. Replace seals as per paragraph above. Internal Leakage 1. With lipseal type piston seals excessive back pressure due to over-adjustment of speed control valves could be a direct cause of rapid seal wear. Replace piston seals as required. 2. What appears to be piston seal leak, evidenced by the fact that the cylinder drifts, is not always traceable to the piston. To make sure, it is suggested that one side of the cylinder piston be pressurized and the fluid line at the opposite port be disconnected. Observe leakage. If none is evident, seek the cause of cylinder drift in other component parts in the circuit. Cylinder Fails to Move the Load 1. Pneumatic pressure is too low. Check the pressure at the cylinder to make sure it is to circuit requirements. 2. Piston Seal Leak Operate the valve to cycle the cylinder and observe fluid flow at valve exhaust ports at end of cylinder stroke. Replace piston seals if flow is excessive. 3. Cylinder is undersized for the load Replace cylinder with one of a larger bore size. 4. Piston rod broken. Bring the operating conditions of the cylinder to the attention of our engineering department and have our factory repair the cylinder. Erratic or Chatter Operation 1. Excessive friction at gland or piston bearing due to load misalignment Correct cylinder-to-load alignment. 2. Cylinder sized too close to load requirements Reduce load or install larger cylinder. 3. Erratic operation could be traced to the difference between static and kinetic friction. Install speed control valves to provide a back pressure to control the stroke.

Installation
1. Cleanliness is an important consideration, and Parker Hannifin cylinders are shipped with the ports plugged to protect them from contaminants entering the ports. These plugs should not be removed until the piping is to be installed. Before making the connection to the cylinder ports, piping should be thoroughly cleaned to remove all chips or burrs which might have resulted from threading or flaring operations. 2. Cylinders operating in an environment where air drying materials are present such as fast-drying chemicals, paint, or weld splatter, or other hazardous conditions such as excessive heat, should have shields installed to prevent damage to the piston rod and piston rod seals. 3. Proper alignment of the cylinder piston rod and its mating component on the machine should be checked in both the extended and retracted positions. Improper alignment will result in excessive rod gland and/or cylinder bore wear. On fixed mounting cylinders attaching the piston rod while the rod is retracted will help in achieving proper alignment.

Mounting Recommendations
Tie Rod Mounting Cylinders with tie rod mountings are recommended for applications where mounting space is limited. The standard tie rod extension is shown as BB in dimension tables. Longer or shorter extensions can be supplied. Nuts used for this mounting style should be torqued to the same value as the tie rods for that bore size.

Cylinder Trouble Shooting

External Leakage 1. Rod seal leakage can generally be traced to worn or damaged seals. Examine the piston rod for dents, gouges or score marks, and replace piston rod if surface is rough. Rod seal leakage could also be traced to gland bearing wear. If clearance is excessive, replace rod gland and seal. Rod seal leakage can also be traced to seal deterioration. If seals are soft or gummy or brittle, check compatibility of seal material with lubricant used if air cylinder, or operating fluid if hydraulic cylinder. Replace with seal material, which is compatible with these fluids. If the seals are hard or have lost elasticity, it is usually due to exposure to temperatures in excess of 165F. (+74C). Shield the cylinder from the heat source to limit temperature to 350F. (+177C.) and replace with fluorocarbon seals.
