In order to avoid duplication of ranges,
maximising the economies of scale and providing Sales Companies with
clear directions, we have been actively reviewing the rationale of this
product line in terms of customers, volume and competitiveness. One of the main objectives is to prevent
losing any customers and related sales and minimize the negative impact
of change when it occurs. Therefore we hereby inform that the ORIGA
standard profile and tie-rod AZ Series ISO 15552 cylinders bore 32-100
mm will transition over to the Parker P1D platform, which is the Global
ISO 15552 Cylinder Series. Both series are following the ISO
Standard
and are interchangeable, with key features of the P1D being PUR seal
technology throughout, wide range of versions (e.g. Clean, Tie-Rod,
Rod Lock, Built-On Valve) and food approved grease. For the complete cross reference table,
see enclosed list (Excel file “AZ series to P1D Cross-Reference-List
October 2009.xlsx”), tab AZ to P1D Cross Ref. In this document, tab
AZ vs P1D Techn Spec, you also find a table showing the difference
between
the two ranges for the E dimension (square dimension of the end covers). Please also note the transition to the
global cylinder mountings and sensors, which is included in the cross
reference list (scroll down in tab AZ to P1D Cross Ref). The time schedule for the transition
of AZ standard cylinders is as follows.
During the transition process the AZ
Series will remain available. Existing Customer Special Design Cylinders
based on the Origa AZ Series and the non-standard versions of AZ (high
temperature, hydraulic operation, metal wiper, twin rod, with locking
unit etc.) will continue to be available. These versions will be
replaced
in a second phase. Should you have any questions then please contact either the undersigned or Kevin Smith, DSO Manager. Pär Johanson European Product Manager - Actuators |
