How To Order - Eaton Vickers TZ Series Installation & Service Manual

How to Order

Standard Cylinders
Vickers has created an easy system for
ordering Series TZ Cylinders. This
system has been developed to improve
our service to you. The model code
consists of sixteen alpha-numeric digits
which fully describe the most common
standard options offered on Series TZ
cylinders.
To specify your Series TZ cylinder,
review the following pages for a full
description of each option available and
select the desired code.
This model code system will:
D Simplify the re-order process.
Each Vickers Series TZ cylinder is
assigned a sixteen digit model code.
That code is unique to a particular
cylinder description. That way, when
you re-order your Series TZ cylinder,
you're assured of exactly the same top
quality cylinder design.
D Improve identification.
Every Series TZ cylinder has its
sixteen digit model code clearly
marked on the product, impression
stamped in the metal head or cap.
Each sixteen digit code completely
describes a specific cylinder. This
allows seals and replacement
components to be easily identified in
the field.
D Facilitate communications.
This fully descriptive model code
system allows you to work directly with
your local Vickers sales engineer to
identify and service your Vickers
cylinder.

Custom Cylinders
New Cylinders
Although the model code has been
arranged to cover the vast majority of
available options, there will be
occasions when you require an option
which cannot be coded. When
specifying such an option, enter an "X"
for the appropriate item in the sixteen
digit model code, then describe your
requirements. For example, if you have
an application which requires a custom
thread on the end of the piston rod,
enter an "X" for item 7. Then add a full
description at the end of the model
code, such as "With 3.25 inch total rod
projection and M22 x 1,5 thread 1.375
inches long." The cylinder will then be
given a unique five digit design number
on receipt of order (as explained below).
Replacement Cylinders
Every Vickers custom cylinder is
assigned a unique design number. This
number is contained in the last five digits
of the sixteen digit model code, and item
12 is always a alpha character (see
page 19). In other words, the "Stroke"
and "Extra Rod Projection" locations
(items 12 through 16) become the
"Design Number" items for custom
cylinders. When ordering a replacement
cylinder, simply give the sixteen digit
model code or the five digit design
number to your local Vickers Sales
Representative.
Replacement Parts
Each design number is stored in a quick
retrieval computerized storage system.
This gives our field sales
representatives rapid access to assist
you in identifying and specifying genuine
Vickers replacement parts.
