isitafox Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Can anyone either lend me or send accurate measurements of a magura piston? Going to get a price for some from a local engineering place my mate works at but they need a drawing to go off before they can price it for me.

Little Yoshi Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I can get you some in the morning. What ones are you needing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Anything you can get, length, diameter, sizes of the recesses in the ends, distance to where the o ring sits, etc. Basically need to make an accurate drawing up for the machinist to go off to see how much it's gonna cost to get a load made. Would be a massive help if you could! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 What material are you planing on having them made from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Some form of plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Alot of nylons tend to swell up when they get incontact with water and oils Selection needs to be careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yeah I'll get some advice from the guys there when they look at the design. It's a pretty big company that deals in a lot of different industries worldwide so they should be able to advise on what will work best. Might end up being too expensive or the minimum order quantity might be a ridiculous amount but without asking I won't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 It saddens me to think that somewhere probably there will be a box of new and unused magura pistons going to waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
