RODESS BAND CYINDERS WITH CARRIER BRACKET-TYPE STB SERIES 446 OPERATING PRINCIPE Set in motion with pneumatic energy, the piston moves in an extruded alumunium tube containing a slot running the length of the cylinder. In order to provide a tight seal over the slot length. there are two bands. A stamped steel piston bracket connects the cylinder piston to the carrier bracket. This piston bracket contains special band ramps which unseat and reseat the bands in the slot, providing a sealed unit.

Selecting the appropriate Band is simple. The information you need includes: - the stroke, - the force required for moving the load, - the weight of the load, - the position of the load (centered on the carrier or elsewhere), - the final or average velocity. How to select Graph I represents the theoretical force at various pressures. For the most efficient use of a cylinder, it is recommended to use a load rate of 7 %: the force needed to move the load therefore corresponds to 7% of the theoretical force. After defining the cylinder diameter, you must determine if the cylinder's internal cushions may be used. Allowable Bending Moments If the load is not centered on the carrier, there will be bending moment. (see bending moment data below).

If the intersection point of the final velocity and the load falls below the curves, the internal cushions are adequate. If this is not the case, you must either choose a larger cylinder with greater cushion capacity, or use the shock absorders which are offerd as accessories. If you have determined that the internal cushions would be used near their maximum capacity and there is highly intense movement, it would be wise to use the optional shock absorbers. OTHER ACCESSORIES : Tube support brackets: You must determine if intermediate tube support brackets are required, depending on the weight of the charge and the stroke. (see chart on tube support sheet) Floating mount bracket: for use when there is a lack of parallelism between the cylinder and a guided and supported load.

For certain strokes and loads, it is necessary to use tube support brackets for intermediate support. The graph below is used to determine the maximum allowable length. The number of tube support brackets required and their placement, depends on the overall length of the cylinder and the load weight being moved and supported. These brackets are made of black-anodized aluminum and are desinged to fit into dovetail grooves which run the length of the cylinder tube. They are delivered mounted on the cylinder; therefore, they must be ordered with the cylinder Note : These support brackets cannot be mounted in the same place as the magnetic detector, as they use the same grooves.

The standard rodless band cylinder cushion is an effective method for load deceleration. However, the band cylinder can bear heavier loads at higher velocities than that of which the cylinder cushion can absorb. Shock absorbers are used to increase the cylinder's service life and broaden the aplication range for the chosen cylinder. Shock absorbers can be mounted directly on the cylinder. SHOCK ABSORBERS FOR STB CYINDER SERIES 446 Selecting the neccessary absorber : - Define the following values: Weight of load being moved (in N).. Cycles per hour. - In the graph below, determine the type of absorber in relation to the diameter of the cylinder chosen. Cross reference the intersection of final velocity and load weight to determine which shock absorber is required : type or type. 3- To complete the shock absorber selection, you must consider the cycles per hour for your application. Since shock absorbers convert kinetic energy of a load into heat, it is important not to exceed the maximum allowable cycles listed in the adjacent table.

The dotted line represents the limit between choosing the air cushions or shock absorbers.
