Rodless Cylinders

The HORV Series of rodless cylinders from Humphrey Products (Kalamazoo, MI) have a flat piston that creates a profile that is 40% thinner than conventional rodless cylinders of equal bore and stroke. The block-type end cap eliminates the need for mounting brackets. The body places no loads on either the actuator axis or the stand. A sensor switch track uses a cap groove that allows the lead wires for embedded sensor switches to be drawn out from a single surface. The HORV Series features a high-strength stainless steel band instead of a plastic band, and is available with NPT ports and mounting options that include a shock absorber unit and F-tube supports.
