Polygon's PolySlide® products are revolutionizing the motioncontrol field with advanced composite cylinder tubing materials, providing high performance and value compared to aluminum and othersimilar metallic materials.

Composite cylinder benefits vs. metals:

• Low friction for reduced seal wear
• Lower weight
• Better corrosion resistance
• Improved impact resistance
• Enhanced impingement resistance
• Non-conductive

Interchangeable

PolySlide® can be interchanged with any metallic cylinder material in a variety of tie-rod applications. Polygon Company has patented numerous end termination techniques for non-tie rod applications.

Complete Fabrication Available

PolySlide® cylinders can be provided in various ways, from a simple cylinder tube cut to length for customer assembly, to a completely designed cylinder system built according to customer specifications.

Fabrication and assembly is available in-house. Complete cylinder packages are available for numerous applications ranging from trucks to packaging equipment.

On-site Testing Facilities

Polygon not only has the technology to assist cylinder manufacturers in the use of PolySlide® cylinders but also has the internal testing facilities to validate most designs according to our customers' satisfaction.

Polygon's in-house capabilities range from cycle testing, burst pressure chamber with video analysis of failure mechanisms, to in-use frictional analysis.

Sensing Technology

Polygon has also developed the first cylinder with within an embedded electronic component to the composite laminate for finished cylinder assemblies.
