Air cylinders and actuators are renowned for simplicity, economy and long-time durability in countless motion-control applications. The devices typically provide basic linear motion and perform faultlessly and unnoticed for years. Increasingly, however, many newer equipment designs and automation systems demand a lot of data — even from components like air cylinders — to operate precisely […]
Rodless air cylinders for small or tight applications
NITRA L-series rodless air cylinders from AutomationDirect offer a robust design in a compact package. Rodless cylinders can offer the same stroke as rodded cylinders in a smaller space. Rodless cylinders have the piston connected to a carriage that rides outside the extruded cylinder wall, reducing overall length, making them ideal for small or tight […]
Air bushings enable frictionless air cylinders
New Way standard air bushings enable frictionless air cylinders. The O-rings in conventional hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders create significant friction. In measurements and test loading, that friction can be an issue. Instead of O-rings, the seal for the air bearings is the high-pressure air film generated by the bearing. So, with a 60 psi input […]
New Roundline non-repairable cylinders for light-duty, light-force needs
Now there are more choices than ever of versatile IMI Norgren Roundline cylinders, round-body, non-repairable actuators for lighter duty, lower force applications. The introduction of the Roundline Plus Expanded Range adds seven new cylinder types to the existing line-up. Three-position (3R) cylinders provide three positive stroke positions with a single cylinder. Non-rotating (NR) double acting […]
Festo features sanitary pneumatic design solutions at Pack Expo
At Pack Expo September 23 to 25 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Festo will be showing pneumatic and electric products compliant with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) guidelines on safely processing, holding, and packaging food. Visit Festo at Pack Expo Booth LS-6349 to see these technologies in person. It is vital that compressed […]
Festo rolls out inch series pancake cylinders
Festo has announced availability and support for the new DPC family of inch series compact ‘pancake’ cylinders — high-force short-stroke cylinders designed for tight spaces. Two versions of these long-life cylinders are available – the DPCA for new machines and the DPCB for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) applications with ‘drop-in’ compatibility to other manufacturers. […]
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 […]
Bimba to unveil new booth, products at IPPE
Bimba will discuss and demonstrate its solutions specifically designed and developed for food safety and packaging during the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), February 12-14, at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center (booth #8346). Bimba’s constantly advancing technologies will be represented by the numerous enhancements the Company has made to its full pneumatic line of […]
New NFPA pneumatic cylinder increases design flexibility
One standard pneumatic cylinder, so many options. With reduced complexity, increased mounting flexibility and a range of optional features, IMI Norgren P-Series NFPA cylinders let engineers and machine designers get specialized performance in an industry-standard footprint. For example, these cylinders boast IMI Norgren’s Adaptive Cushioning System (ACS), a fit-and-forget feature that auto-adapts the end-stroke cushioning […]
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 […]
