This standard Jays down the system for marking of fluid power cylinders. Marking on the body may be integral with the body or on an anodized plate securely fixed to the body. Cylinders, which are special in nature like rotating cylinders, rodless cylinders, etc, are not covered in this standard.
These specified markings serve as guide to identify the manufacturer and the component, as well as to assist in proper application.
