Advantages of Pneumatic Tipping Cylinders
High Reliability
The use of compressed air instead of hydraulic oil eliminates the risk of hydraulic oil leaks and prevents potential environmental contamination caused by oil leakage. This reduces maintenance requirements while minimizing cleaning efforts and the need for environmental protection measures. The result is clean, reliable and low-maintenance operation.
Robust Design
The cylinders are designed for continuous operation in harsh environments and are resistant to dust, moisture, dirt and extreme temperature fluctuations.
Low-Maintenance Design
Durable sealing systems and high-quality materials ensure high reliability and vehicle availability. The robust design reduces maintenance requirements and contributes to a long service life.
Customized Solutions
Stroke length, piston diameter, mounting configurations, operating pressure ranges and end-of-stroke cushioning can be individually tailored to meet the requirements of each application. In addition, we design and supply the appropriate control system, tailored to specific application requirements to ensure optimal integration into the overall system.
Customized Control Solutions
For single-side or double-side tipping wagons, we offer the design and development of customized control systems upon request. Each solution is tailored to the specific requirements of the application to ensure reliable and efficient operation.
Reliable Performance Under Extreme Conditions
When tipping heavily loaded freight wagons, cylinders must withstand high mechanical loads. Dust, dirt, moisture and extreme temperature fluctuations place particularly high demands on the equipment.
KONSTANDIN pneumatic tipping cylinders are specifically engineered for these demanding operating conditions. Their robust construction, specialized sealing systems and high-quality materials ensure reliable performance and a long service life.
With customized cylinder solutions, KONSTANDIN contributes to safe, efficient and low-maintenance unloading operations in the railway industry.
