305mm) in one inch
(25mm) increments.
OPTIONAL SWITCHES:
• Tol-O-Matic universal
switches available in DC
Reed, Hall-effect and AC
Triac.
• Available with quickdisconnect
couplers.
SLIDE BODY:
• Precision machined mounting surfaces.
• Flexible mounting for easy integration into new or
existing applications.
• Lightweight, low profile, durable design.
• Use dowel pins in provided dowel holes to achieve
precise mounting
TOOLING PLATE:
• Precision machined mounting surfaces.
• Flexible mounting option for easy
integration into new or existing
applications.
• Use dowel pins in provided dowel
holes to achieve precise mounting
CYLINDER:
• Industry standard
ISO style repairable
tie rod cylinder.
• Integral air
cushions to improve
cylinder life.
GUIDE RODS:
• Hardened, precision ground steel.
• Available in standard size for use with
linear ball bearings and oversized for
use with composite bearings.
• Shares the industry's highest rating for
load capacity.
OPTIONAL STOP
COLLARS/BUMPERS:
• Often used in high impact
applications.
• Used to adjust stroke
length.
OPTIONAL SHOCK
ABSORBERS:
• Smoother deceleration.
• Self-compensates for load
changes.
• Use for increased operating
speeds and higher productivity.
ROD CYLINDER SLIDES
BEARINGS:
• Each guide rod has two precision
bearings optimally located for greatest
stability.
• Choose either linear ball bearings or
composite bearings to get the best value
with the least possible deflection.
• Combined with hardened precision
ground guide rods these rugged bearings
provide smooth, precise linear motion.
• Standard internal wicks are saturated to
provide permanent lubrication
LINEAR BALL BEARINGS
• Provide greatest tooling plate accuracy
• Longest life.
• Lowest friction - most efficient.
• Best choice for low contaminent
environments.
COMPOSITE BEARINGS
• Use oversized guide shafts to provide
maximum rigidity and less deflection
• Thin profile bearing allows use of
oversize guide rods without enlarging
the slide body.
• Best choice for high contaminent or
high impact environments.

STOP COLLAR /
BUMPER KITS
Stop Collar and Bumper Kits are available for most Tol-O-Matic rod cylinder slides.
Bumpers are made of polyurethane and designed to prevent metal-to-metal contact
and absorb impact shock.
RCS-Rod Cylinder Slide
Internal Bumpers – Standard feature: Designed for operating pressures of up to
150 PSI (10.34 bar) with a 10,000,000 cycle rating.
Bumper / Stop Collar Kit – Optional feature, order for either extend or retract
NOTE: When used in retract position, stop collar/bumper kit will reduce effective
stroke by dimension “A”, see drawing below.
POWER-BLOCK2
Internal Bumpers – Standard feature: made of urethane for noise reduction.
Designed for operating pressures of up to 150 PSI (10.34 bar) with a 10,000,000
cycle rating.
