Milwaukee Cylinder

Arc Technology

Arc Technology

ARCTM is a patent pending technology that allows oil to recirculate through the cylinder when the cylinder reaches end of stroke, removing stagnant oil and helping to extend the life of the cylinder.

Issue Description

• Depending upon hose length, oil from the power unit never makes it to the cylinder
• Oil in the cylinder becomes stagnant, because it never gets flushed out
• Stagnant oil breaks down, decreasing the life of the cylinder

ARCTM Solution

• ARCTM Technology is a proprietary opposing poppet valve cartridge built into the piston
• When the piston reaches 3/16″ from the end-of-stroke, ARCTM opens and oil is allowed to bypass the piston, flushing the cylinder with new clean, cool oil
• When not at the end-of-stroke, ARCTM closes, allowing the cylinder to obtain full force and speed
• Available on our H-Series family of cylinders, on the rod end or blind end, in two different flow options
