BC2 Band Cylinder
The BC2 pneumatic band cylinder, Tolomatic’s first band-type cylinder design, continues to be a solid performer for a wide variety of pneumatic applications.
BC2 pneumatic band cylinders provide multiple mounting options for both vertical and horizontal applications and offer low to moderate load carrying capacities.
- Rubber dust band sealing design does not attract metal particulates making the BC2 a good choice for applications with high particulate
- Adjustable cushions for smooth deceleration
- Adjustable load carrying bracket provides true tracking and load support
- Maximum flexibility and versatile horizontal and vertical mounting
