1 Piston Rod
Manufactured from precision ground, high tensile carbon steel,
piston rods are hard chrome plated and polished to 0.2µm
max. All rod and piston assemblies have a minimum of 4:1
safety factor at the smallest cross sectional area, based on
tensile strength at rated pressures.
2 Head and Cap Retention
The head and cap are bolted to heavy steel flanges, which are
retained by threads at each end of the cylinder body.
3 Cylinder Body
The heavy wall steel tubing is honed to a high surface finish, to
minimise internal friction and prolong seal life.
4 & 5 Head & Cap Ends
These are machined from steel and located into the cylinder
body's internal diameter for added strength and precise
alignment. Both the head and cap are sealed by 'O' rings
which are, in turn, protected by anti-extrusion rings.
6 & 7 Cushioning
Optional cushions at the head and cap are progressive in
action, providing controlled deceleration which reduces noise
and shock loading, and prolongs machine life. The head end
cushion is a self-centring sleeve, while the polished cap end
spear is an integral part of the rod. Needle valves are provided
at both ends of the cylinder for precise cushion adjustment.
Integral check valves minimise restriction to cylinder motion at
the start of a stroke, allowing the rapid development of full
piston speed. The cushion adjusting needle valves are
retained so that they cannot be inadvertently removed.
8 Rod Gland and Bearings
Seals are housed in a corrosion-resistant steel gland, featuring
heavy duty polymer bearing rings to resist side loadings. Wide
separation of these rings reduces bearing stresses,
maximising the service life of the bearing.
The polymer bearing rings, with the rod seals, are easily
replaced on removal of the rod gland, and all components may
be serviced without further disassembly of the cylinder.

9 Gland Seals
The gland seals listed opposite are located in a screwed or
bolted gland housing, and provide efficient retention of
pressurized fluid while preventing the ingress of contaminants.
10 Piston Seals
Two piston seal options are available, to suit different
applications, as shown opposite. In addition, MMB cylinders
can be designed and manufactured to suit individual
customer requirements. Please contact the factory for details.
11 Body End Seals
To ensure that the cylinder remains leak free, body end seals
and gland/head seals are of radial construction, avoiding the
problems of 'nibbling' and early failure associated with face-
type seals.
Special Designs
Parker's design and engineering staff are available to produce
special designs to incorporate customer's specific
requirements. Alternative sealing arrangements, special
mounting styles, higher or lower rated pressure designs,
welded cap ends to reduce overall length (non-cushioned
only), larger cylinder bores and alternative rod sizes are just a
few of the special requirements which can be accommodated.
Special Mounting Styles
Mounting styles other than those specified in this catalogue
can be supplied on request. Please consult the factory.
Rod Material
As an alternative to the standard piston rod material, stainless
steel and other special materials and finishes can be
supplied.
Marine Environments
MMB cylinders can be supplied with modifications to
material and paint specifications which make them suitable for
operation in a marine environment. Please consult the factory.

Servicing Features
All cylinders will, at some time, need maintenance or repairs.
The MMB series has been designed to make these tasks as
easy as possible, by incorporating the following design
features:
Removable Gland – Rod bearing and rod seals can be
replaced without completely dismantling the cylinder.
Chamfers at both ends of the cylinder body ease assembly of
the head and cap and insertion of the piston seals.
Retaining flanges are removable, allowing separate
replacement of the cylinder body.
High tensile bolts are used for ease of maintenance and
replacement.
Flanges are spaced from the head and cap to allow the bolts
to be sawn through in the event of severe damage or
corrosion.

Position Feedback Repairs

Linear position transducers of various types may be fitted to
MMB series cylinders. Please contact the factory for further
details.
Position Switches
Non-contacting position sensors are available for MMB
series cylinders. See catalogue 0810 for details.
Double Rodded Cylinders
MMB series cylinders are available with the option of a
double-ended piston rod. Please contact the factory for further
details.
Although MMB cylinders are designed to make on site
maintenance or repairs as easy as possible, some operations
should only be carried out in our factory. It is standard policy
to fit a cylinder returned to the factory for repair with those
replacement parts which are necessary to return it to 'as good
as new' condition. Should the condition of the returned
cylinder be such that the expense would exceed the cost of a
new one, you will be notified.

Rod End Bellows

Exposed rod surfaces that are subjected to air hardening
contaminants should be protected by rod end bellows. Longer
rod extensions are required to accommodate their collapsed
length – please consult the factory for details.

Metallic Rod Wipers

For applications where contaminants may adhere to the
extended piston rod and thereby cause premature failure of
gland seals, the use of a metallic rod wiper in place of the
standard wiper seal is recommended – please consult the
factory for details.

Mounting Styles MMB Series

Mounting Styles and Where to Find Them

Parker manufactures nine standard mounting styles for the
MMB range of hydraulic cylinders, to suit the majority of
applications. General guidance for selection is given below,
with detailed information about each mounting style shown
on the pages indicated. Rectangular Flange Mountings
Styles MF1 and MF2
Where a non-standard mounting style is required to satisfy a
particular application, our design engineers will be happy to
(MF1 shown)
assist. Please contact the factory for details. See Page 8

Flange Mounted Cylinders

This type of cylinder is suitable for use in straight line force
transfer applications. Four flanged styles are available, with
flanges at the head or cap. Selection of a particular flange
mounting style depends on whether the major force applied to
the load will result in compression (push) or tension (pull)
stresses on the piston rod. For compression-type applications, Round Flange Mountings
cap mounting styles MF2 and MF4 are most appropriate; Styles MF3 and MF4
where the major load places the piston rod in tension, head (MF3 shown)
mounting styles MF1 and MF3 should be specified.
See Page 9
Pivot Mounted Cylinders
Cylinders with pivot mountings, which absorb forces on their
centreline, should be used for applications where the machine
member to be moved travels in a curved path. They may be
used for tension (pull) or compression (push) applications.
Fixed pivot mounting cylinders MP3 may be used if the curved
path of the piston rod travel is in a single plane; for
applications where the piston rod will travel in a path either Pivot Mountings
side of the true plane of motion, the spherical bearing Styles MP3 and MP5
mounting MP5 is recommended. (MP3 shown)
See Page 10
All spherical bearings should be re-packed with grease
periodically. In unusual or severe working conditions, consult
the factory regarding the suitability of the bearing chosen.

Foot Mounted Cylinders

Foot mounted cylinders do not absorb forces on their
centreline. As a result, the application of force by the cylinder
produces a turning moment which attempts to rotate the
cylinder about its mounting bolts. It is important, therefore, that
the cylinder should be firmly secured to the machine member Foot Mounting MS2
on which it is mounted and that the load should be effectively

guided, to avoid side loads being applied to the rod gland and
piston bearings.

Trunnion Mounted Cylinders

These cylinders are designed to absorb force on their
centrelines. They are suitable for tension (pull) or compression
(push) applications, and may be used where the machine
member to be moved travels in a curved path, in a single
plane. Trunnion pins are designed for shear loads only and
should be subjected to minimum bending stresses.
Intermediate Trunnion MT4
Trunnions require lubricated pillow blocks with minimum See Page 11
bearing clearances. Blocks should be aligned and mounted
to eliminate bending moments on the trunnion pins.

Theoretical Push and Pull Forces MMB Series

Calculation of Cylinder Diameter

Given that the load and operating pressure of the system are
known, and that a piston rod size has been estimated taking
account of whether the rod is in tension (pull) or compression
(push), then the cylinder bore can be selected.
If the piston rod is in compression, use the 'Push Force' table
below.
1. Identify the operating pressure closest to that required.
2. In the same column, identify the force required to move
the load (always rounding up).
If the piston rod is in tension, use the 'Deduction for Pull
Force' table. The procedure is the same but, due to the
reduced piston surface area resulting from the piston rod,
the force available on the 'pull' stroke will be smaller. To
determine the pull force:
1. Follow the procedure given for 'push' applications, as
described above.
2. Using the 'Deduction for Pull Force' table below, establish
the force indicated according to the rod diameter and
pressure selected.

3. In the same row, look along to the cylinder bore required.
If the cylinder envelope dimensions are too large for your
application increase the operating pressure, if possible, and
repeat the exercise.
3. Deduct this from the original 'Push' force. The resultant is
the net force available to move the load.
If this force is not large enough, go through the process
again but increase the system operating pressure or cylinder
diameter if possible. If in doubt, our design engineers will be
pleased to assist.

Piston Rod Size Selection Long Strokes and Stop Tubes

The selection of a piston rod for thrust (push) conditions
requires the following steps to be carried out:
1. Determine the type of cylinder mounting style and rod
end connection to be used. Consult the Stroke Factor
table on page 16 and determine which factor corresponds
to the application.
When considering the use of long stroke cylinders, the piston
rod should be of sufficient diameter to provide the necessary
column strength.
For tensile (pull) loads, the rod size is selected by specifying
standard cylinders with standard rod diameters and using
them at or below the rated pressure.

2. Using this stroke factor, determine the 'basic length'
from the equation:
Basic Length = Net Stroke x Stroke Factor
For long stroke cylinders under compressive loads, the use of
stop tubes should be considered, to reduce bearing stress.
Selection of a stop tube is described on page 16.
Cushion Sleeve Stop Tube

(The Piston Rod Selection Chart, below, is prepared for

standard rod extensions beyond the face of the gland
retainer. For rod extensions greater than standard, add
the increase to the stroke to arrive at the 'basic length'.)

3. Find the load imposed for the thrust application by

multiplying the full bore area of the cylinder by the system
pressure, or by referring to the Push and Pull Force
charts on page 14.

Stop Tubes
The Piston Rod Selection Chart on page 15 indicates where
the use of a stop tube should be considered. The required
length of stop tube, where necessary, is read from the vertical
columns on the right of the chart, by following the horizontal
band within which the point of intersection lies. Note that stop
tube requirements differ for fixed and pivot mounted cylinders.
If the required length of stop tube is in the shaded region
marked 'consult factory', please submit the following
information.
1. Cylinder mounting style.
4. Mounting position of cylinder. If at an angle or vertical,
specify the direction of the piston rod.
5. Operating pressure of the cylinder if limited to less than
the standard pressure for the cylinder selected.
When specifying a cylinder with a stop tube, please insert an
S (Special) and the net stroke of the cylinder in the order code

piston. E = 1250 – 1020 = 230 Joules

The energy absorption capacity of the cushion decreases with
drive pressure, which in normal circuits is the relief valve
setting.
inPHorm
Cushioning requirements can be calculated automatically for
individual cylinder/load combinations using the European
cylinder inPHorm selection program (1260/Eur).
Note that, as velocity is greater than 0.3m/s, the energy
absorption figures obtained from the charts on page 18 should
be reduced by 25% – see Cushion Calculations, opposite.
Comparison with the cushioning chart curve for this cylinder
shows an energy capacity for the head end of 400 Joules.
Reducing this by 25% gives a capacity of 300 Joules, so the
standard cushion can safely decelerate the 230 Joules in this
example.
Where cushion performance figures are critical, our engineers
can run a computer simulation to determine accurate cushion
performance – please contact the factory for details.

The Group 1 seal materials supplied with standard cylinders
are suitable for use with any petroleum-based hydraulic fluid.
Special seals are available for use with fluids such as fire
resistant synthetic phosphate ester, and phosphate
ester-based fluids. If there is any doubt regarding seal
compatibility with the operating medium, please consult the
factory.
The table above is a guide to commonly used sealing
compounds and their operating parameters.
Temperature
Standard seals are suitable for use at temperatures between
-20oC to +80oC. Where operating temperatures exceed these
limits, special seal compounds may be required to ensure
satisfactory service life – please consult the factory.
Special Seals
A range of seal options is available for the fluid groups listed
above – see cylinder model numbers on page 25. Where
required, special seals, in addition to those shown above, can
also be supplied. Please insert an S (Special) in the model
number and specify fluid medium when ordering.
Group 6 Seal Life
Seals used with High Water Content Fluids (HFA) are subject
to wear due to the poor lubricity of the operating medium. This
problem increases with pressure. These seals are best used
where high pressure is applied only to clamp the load. If
pressures above 120 bar are applied when the cylinder is
actuating, seal life will be significantly reduced. Seal wear can
also be affected by the particular HFA fluid specified.
Special modifications to cylinders are available for high water
content fluids. Modifications include a stainless steel piston
rod, and plating of internal surfaces. When ordering, please
specify the maximum operating pressure or load/speed
conditions, as the stainless steel rod is of lower tensile strength
than the standard material.
Warranty
Parker Hannifin warrants cylinders modified for water or high
water content fluid service to be free of defects in materials
and workmanship, but cannot accept responsibility for
premature failure caused by excessive wear resulting from
lack of lubricity, or where failure is caused by corrosion,
electrolysis or mineral deposits within the cylinder.
Filtration
For maximum component life, the system should be protected
from contamination by effective filtration. Fluid cleanliness
should be in accordance with ISO 4406. The quality of filters
should be in accordance with the appropriate ISO standards.
The rating of the filter media depends on the system
components and the application. The minimum required for
hydraulic systems should be class 19/15 to ISO 4406, which
equates to 25µ (β10≥75) to ISO 4572.

Low Friction Applications

For applications where very low friction and an absence of
stick-slip are important, the option of low friction seals is
available. For further details, please consult the factory.

determining whether cylinder ports are adequate for the
application. Data shown gives piston speeds for standard and 2 4 4 2
oversize ports and connecting lines where the velocity of fluid
is 5m/s. If the desired piston speed results in a fluid flow in
