Ecology Seal Application Tips Use an Ecology Seal Cylinder... > When excess machine vibration due to pneumatic components is a concern > To reduce noise levels > When load deceleration is a concern > When cushions are required, but speed cannot be sacrificed > And eliminate flow controls > Because traditional cylinder cushions are difficult to adjust with accuracy > When the exposed cushion adjustment needle is not desired > To reduce the effects of pneumatic bounce Summary of Sound Levels in Decibels Cylinder Model Number PSI Air Sound A0133B3 Ecology EA0155B3 A1133A3 Ecology EA1155A3 Pressure Level + 5" X 6" 5" X 6" 2" X 6" 2" X 6" 95 PSI+ End ++ 108 73 110 74 Side ++ 112 84 110 81 50 PSI+ End ++ 108 73 113 74 Side ++ 113 85 110 81 Complete technical data for the Ecology option can be found in the corresponding product line section of the catalog Ultra Cushion ® A Major Design and Performance Breakthrough in Air Cylinder Cushioning Systems! Norgren's advanced cushion design features a unique, one-piece, nitrile compound seal that is captured within a precision machined groove. This allows both linear and radial "float" of the cushion seal which virtually eliminates problems associated with misalignment. Integral flow paths molded in the periphery of the seal provide exceptionally fast "out of cushion" stroke reversal without the use of ball checks. Figure 1 Figure 2 shows spear exiting cushion seal.
