BC3 Band Cylinder
The BC3 heavy duty pneumatic actuator is specifically designed for large load carrying capacities.
BC3 heavy duty pneumatic actuators employ a recirculating ball bearing system capable of handling large off-center loads with consistently smooth motion.
- Low breakaway pressure
- High moment load capacities
- Cost-effective alternative to auxiliary rail systems
