Denford Triac VMC with ATC Conversion / Fix

**Chaz** · 24-06-2015

Actually, thinking about it last night, when I checked, I was in a rush. I grabbed a bolt which I thought was M8 but I think its M10. Ill measure tonight to be sure. Ive found what I believe to be the same Joucomatic part as what is on the up / down, its also 10mm. The mounting nut is 22mm which is correct.

Thanks, have emailed them. A bit disappointed in many of the local companies. They clearly dont need my business. Have asked a few for assistance with little response. Hopefully these guys can help.

OK, the thread is M10 fine for the actuators. M10 x 1.25, all the specs are the same.

this is weird, the last time i changed one of these i had no problem getting an exact replacement and as low as £12. It was a couple of years ago but there were loads about.

When I replaced a pneumatic lift ram on my SCM I contacted a company in Derby - SGS - tel no. 01332 576850. I ordered a ram at 4pm on a Friday and was told I could collect at 8 am the next morning. I thought that was fantastic service and the cost was less than 50% of the SCM part, I simply had to tell them the required cylinder dimensions, stroke, force rating and end connection details. I don't know if this helps, but it is probably worth a try. G.

I was going to order today for delivery tomorrow as Ill be home but didnt get the time and still undecided to what size compressor I need. I dont need much for the pneumatics on the machine but Id like something for cooling too. So looking at a 100L unit. I had a 24L Bambi before, lovely, but expensive and too small for continual air for blowing on parts / clearing swarf etc.
