TA Series Standard Cylinders
TRD’s standard
cylinder offers a high quality, heavy duty construction in an NFPA tie
rod style interchangeable design. These actuators are recognized for
their durability and long-lasting performance. |
 |
TD Series Tough Duty Cylinders
TRD’s TD
“Tough-Duty” cylinders provide the same high quality, heavy duty
construction as the TA series, with additional performance features
standard. |
|
 |
Steel Pneumatic
Cylinders
Steel cylinders and components provide extra
strength and durability to withstand abuse while maintaining reliable
performance.
Steel Air Cylinders (7.4MB) |
 |
FM
Series Flush Mount Cylinders
Same construction as
‘TA’ series with the added benefit of “Sleeve Nut” construction. |
|
 |
Back-to-Back Cylinders
Back-to-Back
cylinders allow the creation of a true four position cylinder by
combining two individual cylinders with common bore sizes together as
one unit with common tie rods. |
 |
Tandem Cylinders
TRD’s tandem
cylinders are most commonly used in “air over oil” applications. These
applications typically will use air to provide the force to extend and
retract the cylinder, while oil provides precise stroke speed control. |
|
 |
3-Position Cylinders
TRD’s 3-Position
cylinders consist of two cylinders built as one unit with one rod end,
capable of producing three rod positions. By varying the cylinder stroke
lengths, stop positions can be suited to any application. |
 |
MS Series Multi-Stage Cylinders
TRD’s multi-stage
cylinders are able to achieve greater forces in extending, retracting,
or both directions by multiplying the output force with additional
pistons. Multi-stage cylinders can provide the same output force as
larger bore, single stage cylinders while being lower cost. |
|
 |
TRA Triple-Rod Cylinders
TRD’s TRA “Triple
Rod” cylinders use three piston rods to increase stability and strength
and also feature a non-rotating design. |
 |
Air Intensifier
Air to Air
intensifiers utilize a single-shot design to increase output force.
These designs offer a heavy-duty construction and a simple, worry free
design. Intensifiers are commonly used to increase output force and in
measuring and dispensing applications. |
|
 |
Micro-Adjust Cylinders
Allows precise
adjustment of cylinder extend stroke. Easy to read precision scale (.001”
calibration) and enclosed no “pinch point” design. Available on all cylinder
models with “D” Double Rod End option. Up to 6” stroke and adjustment. |
 |
Air/Oil Tanks
The TRD air/oil
system gives you the smooth operation typically associated with hydraulic
systems, without the expense! Uses shop air, (2) air/oil tanks, and a
cylinder equipped with “TH” (hydraulic seals. Low initial investment and low
maintenance to operate! |
|
 |
Auto Reciprocating
Air Booster
This 2:1 ratio
air-to-air booster is compact and self-contained. Unit incorporates integral
valve components to perform auto-reciprocating function. Can amplify
inadequate air pressure in the following situations.
|
 |
Air Reservoir
Stand-alone Air
Reservoir from 2-1/2” to 10” bore size. Anodized Aluminum Tube and End Cap,
Steel Mounting Bracket construction. Also available in a standard version
with an integrally mounted Air Booster. |
|
 |
Telescoping
Cylinders
TRD’s telescoping cylinders utilize a two-stage
telescoping design which remains 100% double acting while providing
incredible space savings.

 |
Rod Lock
Cylinders
The RL Series Rod Lock utilizes a 100% ball
bearing design, which distributes even locking (clamp-holding) force
along the shaft, providing low fatigue on clamping components and no
appreciable wear on the piston rod.

HH Series Heavy Duty Hydraulic
TRD’s HH Series
cylinders are precision made to deliver more reliable heavy-duty
industrial operations. NFPA dimension design interchanges with
competitive models in the field. TRD offers a complete line of hydraulic
Rod Locks that can be fitted to the most common bore and rod sizes.

MH Series Medium Pressure Hydraulic
TRD’s MH Series
cylinders are precision made to deliver more reliable heavy-duty
industrial operations. Many of the same features and seals used in the
HH Series are included to increase overall performance and life.

SS
Series Cylinders
TRD’s Stainless
Steel cylinders are precision machined from 303/304 stainless steel to
provide excellent performance even in harsh environments. Common
applications include food processing, chemical, medical, pharmaceutical,
and other corrosive environments. |
 |
SS-MS Series Multi-Stage Cylinders
The TRD SS
Multi-Stage are double acting, single rod end cylinders that multiply the
force output by supplying air to multiple pistons. The MSE multiplies the
force on the extend stroke, the MSR multiplies the force on the retract
stroke. Both models use only one piston on the opposite stroke, saving air
volume and operating costs. |
|
 |
SS-TRA Series Heavy Duty Triple-Rod Cylinders
TRD’s
“Triple Rod” cylinders use three piston rods to increase stability and
strength and also feature a non-rotating design. |
 |
Tandem Cylinders
TRD’s tandem
cylinders are most commonly used in “air over oil” applications. These
applications typically will use air to provide the force to extend and
retract the cylinder, while oil provides precise stroke speed control. |
|
 |
TRD’s Round
Stainless Steel Cylinders (RS Series) feature NFPA style mounting
with a longer than standard NFPA body length and are made using 303/316
stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance. These
cylinders have been designed specifically to reduce sharp edges and
corners which provide a smooth transition to the cylinder body
eliminating catch points for contamination and allow easy cleaning. The
round design is slimmer and fits in tighter spaces than standard NFPA
square head designs.

Pneumatic Control System
The TRD
Pneumatic Control System (Model PCS) is designed to control any
pneumatic TRD position feedback actuator. The system is a closed-loop electronic
controller with pneumatic valves that can accurately position the
actuator rod and hold it in position with a high degree of
accuracy and force. The system accomplishes the long term goal of using
pneumatic technology to accurately stop and hold the rod or shaft at any
desired position.
Position
Feedback Cylinder
The Position
Feedback Cylinder (Model PFC) is a linear pneumatic actuator that
contains an internal LRT (Linear Resistive Transducer). The PFC can be used
for measuring and gauging, positioning, and "on-the-fly" applications.
Combine the PFC with the TRD Pneumatic Control System Model PCS, Digital
Panel Meter Model DPM, or the Electronic Controller described below to
maximize performance.

Heavy Duty Bench Top Presses
TRD’s Heavy Duty
Bench Top Presses, the BTP Series, combine TRD’s high quality actuators
with a heavy duty steel construction press. These presses provide an
open work area which allows for through feed or side feed of large
parts, and 3 different built-in height settings. The ground tool plate
is oversized and removable, which provides precision location of tool
plate to press frame. |

Double-Wall® & Reparable SS Cylinders |
|
Our tie-tube
NFPA-interchangeable cylinders are easy to repair and take up less space
than other cylinders. The Double-Wall Cylinders convert into six NFPA
mounting styles and utilize easy to assemble "bolt on" mounting kits.
Our Repairable Stainless Steel Cylinders use a corrosion resistant 303
stainless steel rod guide that is ideal for washdown applications and is
designed specifically to reduce sharp edges and corners and provide a
smooth transition to the cylinder body.
