Tandem Cylinder |

![]() |
• Tandem models consist of two cylinders joined by a common center section. • An H type piston (Series FT) or a D type piston (Series DT) in each cylinder is interconnected to the other by a common piston rod. • Operated as two double-acting cylinders, Series FT or DT can be used to multiply force without increasing pressure or bore size. • Filling the rod end cylinder with oil and using a flow control between its ports, tandems can provide the accurate speed regulation of a hydraulic cylinder while the cap end unit is operated with economical air. FT/DT • Standard Bore Sizes - 1 1/2 to 4 • Stock Stroke Sizes - 1" to 18" (1" increments) • Cushions available - either/both ends (cushions not standard on center head) • Pneumatic - 150 psi maximum • Hydraulic - consult factory NOTE: Series FT and DT are also available in double-ended models as well as multi-position single and double-ended models. These must be quoted as “specials” on a “per order” basis. |
