Overview
The Parker 02.00 CJ2MAUS 18AC 3.000 is a Series 2MA pneumatic cylinder engineered for high-performance industrial automation and manufacturing. This double-acting, tie-rod style cylinder combines proven durability with straightforward integration into pneumatic control systems. The model designation breaks down as: 02.00 = 2-inch bore, CJ = Series 2MA double-acting rod-end configuration, MAUS = specific port and rod-end type, 18AC = 18 bar (approximately 250 psi) rated pressure, and 3.000 = 3-inch stroke length.
Key Features
- Tie-Rod Construction: Heavy-duty frame design provides superior strength and stability for demanding applications with enhanced lateral load capacity.
- Double-Acting Operation: Powered extension and retraction enable precise bidirectional control in automation sequences.
- 250 PSI (18 Bar) Rated Pressure: Appropriate for most standard industrial compressed air systems operating at typical plant pressures.
- 2-Inch Bore × 3-Inch Stroke: Compact size suitable for space-constrained applications requiring moderate force and travel.
- Multiple Mounting Styles: Compatible with pivot mounts, end-angle brackets, flange plates, and side-lug kits for flexible system integration.
- ANSI/NFPA Compliant: Meets industrial standards for interchangeability and safety in pneumatic systems.
