Pull-Apart Options
Automatic Slide Plate Assembly | MSD-ASP
The Automatic Slide Plate is used for cylinder disassembly and assembly. It consists of two heavy duty slide plates with adjustable bronze bearing and a 36” (914.4 mm) stroke hydraulic cylinder. One slide plate is used as an anchor plate and the second plate is used to hold a heavy-duty vertical brace tool.
The anchor slide plate is equipped with a foot brace to interlock with a horizontal cross member built into the machine frame. The anchor slide plate has a handle assembly used to select the direction of travel. By selecting the direction, the operator can use this automatic slide plate to pull a cylinder shaft out of a cylinder or insert a shaft back into a cylinder tube.
The foot assembly is spring loaded so that as the slide plate moves down the length of the table, the brace arm will lift over the horizontal cross member and engage on the next cross member. This lifting action will work in both directions. The second slide plate is the point where the cylinder shaft clevis is attached. The slide plate is also available with an extra tall vertical brace tool. The vertical brace tool is supplied with a 2” (50.8 mm) diameter heavy duty thread rod. The thread rod is used to clamp the clevis tight in the vertical brace tool. With a 4” diameter bore cylinder the automatic slide plate can generate 37,698 pounds (167,689 n) of push force and 30,483 pounds (135,595 n) of pull force.

Pull-Apart Cylinder| MSD-PAC
The Pull Apart Cylinder is used to pull rods out of cylinder tubes. It is attached to a slide plate that has been secured to the frame and pulls on a second slide plate that can move along the frame rails.
The nuts on the moving slide plate should be snug enough to minimize lifting or cocking of the slide plate, yet loose enough to let the plate move smoothly. The slide plate should not move easily when pushed or pulled by hand.
The Pull Apart cylinder should be used with the Brace tooling for maximum safety. The brace tooling will hold the rod or tube clevis securely and minimize the chance that the components could slip out of the machine during operation.
The Pull Apart cylinder is extended or retracted to move the cylinder and can be relocated to pull apart a cylinder longer than itself. A pull is made, the Pull Apart cylinder is relocated, and another pull can be made. This sequence is repeated until the cylinder is disassembled.
Do not stand in line with the tube or rod during the operation of the Pull Apart cylinder. If the tube or rod pulls free of the mounting plates during disassembly they can fly out and cause bodily harm.
Care must be taken to apply pressure to the cylinder slowly. Rapid and prolonged pressure can increase the possibility of the rod or tube breaking free from the disassembly fixture. The Nylon v-blocks or some other method must be used to support the rod in case it would come free of the cylinder being disassembled.
Pull-Apart Cylinder Heavy Duty | MSD-PAC-HD
The Pull Apart Cylinder Heavy Duty is a 4” bore tie bolt cylinder with 11.5 feet of stroke that generates 37,698 pounds of push and 22,974 pounds of pull at 3,000 PSI. This cylinder is mounted inside the frame of the disassembly bench.
