Yale AYB Tilt Saddles for Cylinders

Tilt saddles should be used with YELB and YEGB cylinders in cases where cylinders are operated on non-parallel surfaces.
The saddles minimize inner friction caused by eccentric loading of the cylinders. The upper part of the saddle can pivot up to 5° in all directions. Tilt saddles are fixed in the piston by means of an O-ring.

Features & Benefits

  • Reduced Side-Loading
    Tilt saddles allow a few degrees of movement to accommodate slight misalignment, preventing excessive side-loading that can damage the cylinder and lead to premature failure.
  • Extended Cylinder Life
    By minimizing side-loading, tilt saddles protect the cylinder from damage, which extends its lifespan and reduces maintenance costs.
  • Improved Safety
    They enhance safety by ensuring the cylinder operates within its design limits, preventing accidents that could result from cylinder failure under off-center loads.
  • Better Alignment and Stability
    They improve the alignment between the cylinder and the load, providing a more stable and controlled lifting or tilting operation.
  • Adaptability
    They can be designed to fit various cylinder models and applications, making them versatile for different industrial setups.
