Description
A stainless steel cylinder, as the name suggests, is made from a form of stainless steel; barrels are made from AISI 304, this being the most common austenitic stainless steel. End covers, piston rods and any screws and nuts are made from 303; the addition of sulphur to 303 improves its machinability. Tie-rods are AISI 316; the addition of molybdenum to 316 gives greater corrosion resistance. The cylinder provides linear motion and force in a pneumatic system.
