Self-Aligning Air Cylinder
SAF-Holland

An elongated, self-aligning actuator cylinder designed for air-powered operations, this device enables smooth, consistent linear motion while tolerating minor misalignment between connected components. The stated dimensions identify a compact footprint: approximately 4 inches in width, 4.5 inches in height, and 13 inches in length, which informs installation spacing, mounting clearance, and compatibility with surrounding hardware and linkages. The unit is engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of highway service, including vibrations, dust exposure, and rapid cycling, while preserving alignment between the piston rod and attached fittings. In practical terms, it provides dependable actuation for release and engagement sequences in air-assisted systems, reducing binding and stiction during starting, stopping, and rapid rate changes. Classified under VMRS 059-001-002 and categorized within 42517, it aligns with a broad range of trailers and commercial vehicles that require precise, repeatable, and durable pneumatic actuation. The dimensions and tolerances enable straightforward integration with existing cylindrical attachments and mounting brackets, supporting fleet maintenance with predictable performance, extended service life, and reduced downtime during inspections and repairs.
