THE TRUNCATED AND RECESSED CYLINDER IS USED WHERE REDUCED PROFILE HEIGHT AND OR INCREASED MECHANICAL STABILITY PROVIDED BY THE FLAT RIM ARE REQUIRED.

THIS DESIGN HAS A .005" DEEP RECESS ON ITS FLAT SURFACE THAT IS MADE VERY ROUGH BY ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING. THIS ROUGH SURFACE IS USED IN APPLICATIONS WHERE THE CYLINDER IS GLUED IN PLACE.

THESE HARDENED AND DIMENSIONALLY STABILIZED STAINLESS STEEL CYLINDERS ARE PRECISION GROUND AND MACHINE LAPPED TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT CYLINDRICITY WITH CLOSE DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCE.

THE HIGHLY UNIFORM LOW MICROINCH SURFACE TEXTURE GENERATED BY THE MACHINE LAPPING LEADS TO LOW HYSTERESIS AND EXCELLENT REPEATABILITY. TRUNCATED AND RECESSED CYLINDER

TWO PARALLEL MOUNTED CYLINDERS FORM A VERY HIGH QUALITY SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HARD-TO-MANUFACTURE VEE GROOVE.

THE TRUNCATED AND RECESSED CYLINDER IS USUALLY CLAMPED, GLUED, OR CLAMPED AND GLUED INTO POSITION.
