Self-Aligning Air Cylinder
SAF-Holland

This reinforced self aligning actuator is engineered for heavy duty truck systems requiring consistent linear motion with misalignment tolerance. The design accepts mounting misalignments to minimize binding and wear at the mounting points, which translates to longer seal life and reduced maintenance intervals in demanding environments such as air brake or auxiliary actuation circuits. Employing a compressed air input, it converts pressure into precise piston travel, enabling controlled actuation of associated mechanisms without the need for complex alignment procedures during installation. The unit is cataloged under the SAF HOLLAND air cylinder family with a VMRS code that identifies its function within the vehicle hydraulics and pneumatics domain, making it easier to source compatible components and perform correct parts matching in service and repair workflows. Its robustness supports frequent cycling and integration with standardized SAF Holland mounting patterns, simplifying retrofits and field replacements. In practical applications, this cylinder enhances reliability in air system actuation, improves return to neutral positioning after actuation, and contributes to overall vehicle operability by reducing the risk of binding or seizing due to misalignment. Category context highlights its role as an air actuating component within the 42517 family of air cylinders.
