Composite air cylinders for medical and food-grade applications
With its new Composite Cylinder series, Compact Automation brings together its small cylinder size with a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material. The Composite Cylinder series is a linear actuator with a durable hollow rod option enabling use in vacuum pick-up applications in end-of-arm tooling. Designed in an equivalent size to Compact’s standard inch and metric series, the […]
High-flow variant added to Aventics’ electropneumatic control valves
The intelligent use of an electropneumatic pressure regulator depends on the kind of application and the actual tasks involved. With a flow of 6500 lpm, the new EV12 pressure regulator from Aventics can be used as a standalone product, in the AS3 device series, or as a battery for block assembly. Pressure regulation tasks are […]
End-of-arm sprue grippers from FIPA are ideal for handling plastic materials
FIPA Inc. has upgraded its product line of sprue grippers for handling plastic material. The updated Series 90, 100, and 130 grippers now bear the red FIPA dot, which makes the gripper components immediately identifiable in installations. The grippers in each of the series offer unique features and benefits. For example, the Series 90 grippers […]
Exhaust valve from Aventics ensures reliable, standardized safety
Safety is always the number one priority for industrial manufacturers. With its new safety valve, Aventics has expanded its range of products in this area. Users can integrate it modularly into AS series maintenance units or position it flexibly as a stand-alone product. The company’s new S3-SV exhaust valve ensures reliable, standardized safety for both personnel […]
Firestone demonstrates intelligent air spring sensor
Firestone Industrial Products, a leading manufacturer of advanced air springs with headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, has developed a system that helps eliminate vibration in transportation applications. In collaboration with Knorr-Bremse, it introduced what is reportedly the first-ever fully integrated intelligent air spring sensor at the 67th Bi-Annual IAA Commercial Vehicles Conference in Hannover, Germany. According […]
ControlAir announces hew high flow capacity volume booster
ControlAir Inc. has announced the introduction of the new Type 6100 High Flow Capacity Volume Booster. The Type 6100 is designed to significantly increase the stroking speed in valve actuation system applications that require high forward flow and exhaust capacities. The Type 6100 is a 1:1 signal to output relay that when used with a […]
Electro-pneumatic pressure regulating valve features low energy consumption
The sub-base mounted EV03 electropneumatic (E/P) pressure regulating valve from Aventics features extremely low energy consumption and can guarantee pressure control during a power loss. Depending on the version, maximum power generation is between 160 to 220 mA. The EV03 also offers precision, with hysteresis as low as 0.7 psi, and flow up to 0.88 […]
Festo’s VTEM Motion Terminal simplifies IoT modularity and flexibility
At IMTS this week, Festo showcased its VTEM Motion Terminal and the benefits Industry 4.0 enabled products like this offer to OEMs. The VTEM Motion Terminal, which began shipping earlier this year, is a revolutionary cyber-physical system (CPS) that embodies the modularity and insights into industrial data envisioned by Industry 4.0. Ten downloadable apps are immediately […]
Pilot-operated check valves from Eisele ensure safe pneumatic cylinder holding
Eisele Connectors’ pilot-operated check valves are part of the company’s Basic Line and can be used in combination with pneumatic cylinders. They enable flow in one direction, which in return blocks the flow in the opposite direction: thus preventing pneumatic cylinders from unintentionally deaerating in the event of a pressure drop. Because they prevent sudden […]
