	What's New Press Releases Distributor News Product News		Humphrey Products has introduced the New HORV Series of Rodless Cylinders that are shorter, thinner and lighter than conventional rodless cylinders of equal bore and stroke. The HORV cylinder features a flat piston shape that results in a profile up to 40% thinner! The block type end cap eliminates the need for mounting brackets and the cylinder has a reduced zero stroke dimension. This results in a dead stroke that is 35% shorter than conventional band-type rodless cylinders. The lightweight body places no loads on either the actuator axis or the stand, even when using a Y-Z axis. Humphrey's unique high strength stainless steel seal band helps the HORV cylinder achieve long life and lower leakage than cylinders utilizing plastic seal bands. A sensor switch track uses a cap groove that allows the lead wires forembedded sensor switches to be drawn out from a single surface. Humphrey HORV Series Rodless Cylinders are available with NPT or Metric G-TAP ports and various mounting options, including a shock absorber unit, M-type mount and F-tube support. These mounting options offer many design solutions, an example being an M-type mount with a customer-supplied top plate and linear guide rail.
