Gives the preferred range of nominal dimensions and associated tolerances for a series of hydraulic cylinder rod and piston seal housings for reciprocating applications for the following: cylinders of 16 to 500 mm; rods of 6 to 360 mm. An additional range of seal housings detailed meets the reduced envelope requirements of the 160 bar (16 MPa) compact series of ISO 6020.2 which require stricter piston rod and cylinder bore tolerances. rods of 12 to 140 mm. It does not give details of seal design, since the manner of construction varies . The design and material and any incorporated antiextrusion components are determined by conditions such as temperature and pressure.
