Greetings!
For March, we are highlighting our Tom Thumb Cylinder�. Since our humble beginnings, we've always been about function. The Tom Thumb Cylinder is a living testimony to this fact, and is still a popular product choice among many manufacturers.
This month, we are spotlighting our actuator capabilities for the Food Industry. We have the materials and motions that solve problems in your food handling, processing, and packaging operations.
Lastly, we are featuring our Designer's Resource Process Guide. These online tools can assist in the reduction of project costs and in the shortening of the design processes.
To your continued automation success,
The PHD Team

For over 55 years, PHD's Classic Tom Thumb Cylinder continues to deliver excellence
PHD was founded in 1957 with the collective vision to manufacture a small bore cylinder that provided customers durability, reliability, strength, and rebuildability for extended value. From this vision, PHD and the Tom Thumb Cylinder were created.
The Tom Thumb Cylinder continues to be a popular choice among manufacturers around the world. Long life construction, low maintenance, various mounting styles, and a wide range of options make this tierod unit ideal for a variety of applications.
These cylinders are ideal for many applications including packaging, assembly machines, machine loading/unloading, general industrial automation, and more.
- 4 bore sizes for 3/4 - 1-3/8 in
- Lengths up to 24 inches
- Designed to provide long life in many rugged applications
- Can be specified with built-in flow controls, cushions, shock pads, stroke adjustment, magnetic piston for hall effect or reed switches, and many other time saving options
- Tierod construction of Tom Thumb Cylinders makes them easy to repair in the field for extended life
