Half cylinder
Cylinder with thumbturn
These cylinders are available with or without locking bar. See the descriptions for assembly advices
on the livius SL cylinders.
Explosion drawings and tables for these 4 cylinder types are provided on the next pages. Please note
that the exact dimensions for the individual components of a cylinder are not shown. The drawings
give an overview of the components needed for an exemplary cylinder length.

General information
1. Individual cylinder types, e.g. half cylinders or cylinder types in certain lengths, e.g. cylinders
with emergency function with a 31 mm outer side, require special aspects to be considered
during assembly. These have been set out in the descriptions and tables.
2. The retaining rings cannot be reused when they have been overextended.
3. Please do not use excessive force when compressing the retaining rings as this could damage
the plug. Damaged plugs may result in operating problems or total failure.
Retaining rings should be slightly loose when removing the pliers.
4. Check the cylinder's functioning after assembly and lubricate with BKS B 9780 0001 high-
performance maintenance spray.
5. The special B 9796 0004 assembly pliers are required for assembling double, four-fold, pinion,
special and cogwheel cylinder cams. These are not included in the assembly case.
6. Additional compartments such as bodies and plugs, which are not included in the assembly
case, are required for changing cylinder lengths.
