FLANGE MOUNT

The flange mount is one of the strongest, most rigid methods of mounting. With this type of mount there is little allowance for misalignment, though when long strokes are required, the free end opposite the mounting should be supported to prevent sagging and possible binding of the cylinder. The best use of a blind end flange is in a thrust load application (rod in compression). Rod end flange mounts are best used in tension applications. If an application exceeds the rectangular flange rating, requiring an extra heavy flange, a solid flange style end cap mount is available at no extra cost for most bore sizes. When a less rigid mount can be used and the cylinder can be attached to a panel or bulkhead, an extended tire rod mounting could be considered.
