Cylinder Features
Parker Series VE
Pneumatic Tie Rod Cylinders
“Jewel” Rod Gland Assembly is externally
removable without disassembling the cylinder.
The “Jewel” rod gland incorporates a primary and
secondary seal to assure leak-free service and
longevity. The secondary seal acts as a rod wiper to
prevent contamination from entering the cylinder. In
addition, the secondary seal acts as a back up in the
event of primary seal failure.
All piston rod assemblies utilize induction case
hardened, medium carbon steel. All piston rods
arehardchromeplatedandpolishedtoa10RMS

standard with two wrench flats to facilitate rod end
attachment.
Wear compensating lip seals are used
throughout the rod gland and piston assembly to
assure leak free operation and optimal performance
over the life of the cylinder.
Cylinder body material options include steel with
chrome plated I.D., aluminum, and composite to
suit demanding application requirements.
All tie rods are made from high strength 100,000
psi minimum yield material.
Align-A-Groove design provides a 3/16" wide
surface machined at each end of the cylinder
body to assure tube to head alignment and leak free
operation.
NPT ports are standard throughout the entire
bore range.

position throughout the entire stroke range.
Solid state or reed switches are available with quick
disconnect or flying lead terminations. This option is
available on all bore sizes. Note: Wear band supplied
with magnetic piston only.
Heads and caps are made from heavy duty steel
and are machined to provide concentricity.
