Model 4204 Double Acting
Self-Centering Actuator

The 4204 is a pivot mounted spring centered cylinder. Applying air pressure to either side of the position will cause the piston rod to move accordingly.

This cylinder is mostly used for the control of marine hydraulic reverse reduction gears and serves as a three piston actuator providing control over the hydraulic clutch valve. With no air pressure in either control port the output rod is centered. By applying air pressure (minimum 65 PSI), the piston rod will move to either extreme position. The piston rod stroke is one inch in either direction, (total stroke two inches).

The construction is all bronze ands stainless steel, and will provide years of trouble free service. When used as three position control cylinder order model 4204-C. The same configuration cylinder is also available for infinite positioning of variable hydraulic delivery valves and pumps. It is possible to infinitely position the output rod by varying the air pressure to either side of the cylinder. When ordering this configuration order model 4204-A. The basic difference between the two configurations is the spring.
