When the job calls for reliable, heavy-duty performance, specify Series A. A 100,000 psi yield strength chrome-plated, casehardened piston rod. A 125,000 psi yield strength rod-end stud with rolled threads. 100,000 psi yield strength tie rods. With construction like this, the Atlas Series A is rated for air service to 250 psi. This is one heavy-duty air cylinder that’s really heavy duty. They’re truly premium quality cylinders, factory prelubricated standard with a nonlube option for millions of maintenance-free cycles. And to make sure every cylinder is premium quality, we subject each and every one – not just batch samples – to tough inspection and performance tests. See the following pages for the inside story on all the features that make Series A the high performance, long lasting choice for all your heavy-duty air applications. Note: Rod diameters over 21 /2" will use a threaded nose gland.
