A magnetic ring-shaped marker is affixed to your application’s moving cylinder and moves up and down the TM1 rod without contact. TM1 Series stroke lengths are from 50 to 2,000 mm in 25 mm steps. Operating pressure is […]
Piab Kenos KCS gripper
Piab’s Kenos KCS gripper enables a collaborative robot (cobot) that can handle just about anything, anywhere, at any time. This makes it a suitable ”co-working” tool, especially for small businesses, where flexibility is essential. Originally developed together with a leading cobot manufacturer as a tailor-made automation tool for one customer, the resulting vacuum gripper cobot […]
Magnetic coupling means more cylinder options
Longer stroke, smaller footprint and high-load and side-load capabilities are all special advantages of rodless pneumatic cylinders. Now IMI Norgren MC Series magnetically coupled rodless cylinders deliver the extra benefits of greater design flexibility and easier application-specific customization. The cylinder’s stainless steel tube and machined components are independent of each other, with the carriage and piston […]

Cantilevered jaw arrangement avoids interference
The LPG gripper from Fabco-Air handles oversize parts and heavy loads up to 300 lb. This gripper is an adaptation of Fabco-Air’s EZ Series linear slides; its jaws are a pair of tool bars. An integral, double-acting air cylinder drives the shorter jaw bar and inboard pair of guide shafts. A double rack and pinion […]
Pneumatic safety brakes with hydraulics-level power
Mayr power transmission recently set out to create a compact safety brake in a small construction space with high forces… and all this without using hydraulics. The result was a new, high-performance, pneumatically-released version of the ROBA-guidestop profiled rail brake. This extended ROBA-guidestop series has a pneumatically-released version which provides new possibilities with its high […]
