Sheffer CUSTOM MANUFACTURED - Manual (Page 2)

At the
Sheffer
Corporation,
we know the
ins-and-outs
of custom
cylinders like
no one else.
Sheffer’s reputation for excellence
in the production of custom
cylinders is derived from a can-do
attitude that dates back to our
earliest days as an engineering
firm. Since 1952, we have enjoyed
the challenge of conceiving new
ways to achieve high-performance
and we have been motivated by
every opportunity to satisfy a
unique requirement.
Whether your custom cylinder
application is industrial or mobile,
you’ll appreciate our desire to
help...because we can!
Space shuttle workover fixture.
This fixture was built for NASA
and is used to rotate the shuttle’s
main engines. It is actuated by
two, three-stage telescopic Sheffer
cylinders which are capable of
lifting a 300,000 pound load. Each
cylinder has a total stroke of 25'
and a main barrel measuring 19"
OD. Sheffer’s Engineering depart-
ment worked closely with NASA
during the design phase and our
Quality Assurance staff helped the
space agency implement a special
QC program.
There’s no
substitute for
experience when
building specialty
cylinders.
Every day, we manufacture special-
ty cylinders that other compa-
nies can’t make, won’t make or
are reluctant to try. All the while,
we meet the demand for high-
quality custom cylinders that are
exposed to the harshest environ-
ments and roughest conditions. Our
experience encompasses virtually
every industry and possibly the
widest range of cylinder media.
There is little we haven’t seen –
even less we couldn’t produce.
