1. The cylinder barrel of extruded anodized aluminum has a slot along its entire length. To provide rigidity the bore is eccentric to the outside diameter.

2. A flexible hardened stainless steel inner band running the entire length of the bore and passing through the piston provides a near-zero-leakage metal to metal seal. An outer band of the same material acts as a cover over the slot preventing foreign particles from entering into the cylinders interior.

3. The aluminum piston is fitted with synthetic bearing rings. The power transmission outward takes place through a positive, physical connection through the slot to the external piston mounting. This solid guide permits the acceptance of external forces and moments and minimizes frictional losses.

4. The extensive experience in the development and production of rodless cylinders, as well as the use of high quality components and materials, ensure a very serviceable design lending itself to high operating safety and optimum performance.

5. This unique design, using only 4 main components, makes Parker Origa cylinders reliable in operation and simple to maintain, providing long trouble free service.
