Hello -
I have a few pneumatic cylinders of the non-repairable type. They have stainless steel for the cylinders and aluminum for the end caps.
My question: I'm trying to figure out how they attach the tube to the aluminum caps.
It appears a circular groove was machined on the end cap and the steel tube some bent and squeezed into place providing an airtight seal, in this case up to 250 psi.
Is this a press fit? Any other resources/names so I can read up on this?
Thanks!
