How To Correctly Understand Pneumatic Fittings
Pneumatic fittings is a very common element, we had better learn more about some of its knowledge. Broadly speaking, pneumatic tools is to use compressed air driven pneumatic motor and the kinetic energy of external work output of a tool, in accordance with its basic work can be divided into: Rotary (eccentric movable vane). Reciprocating […]
Linear Actuators and Mechatronic Technology
Linear Actuators are a class of mechatronic systems with some unique design constraints. As a result there are dozens of approaches, dozens of vendors, the option of designing the actuator from scratch, and, frankly, a lot of confusion. The problem lies in the fact that the actuator as a subassembly is the combination of a […]
Pneumatic Valves Show 100 Million Life Cycle
Swagelok Company announced that additional testing has demonstrated an increase in cycle life for its Swagelok ALD series valve, up to 100 million cycles. The ultrahigh-purity, pneumatically actuated valve is designed for use in atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes – a staple deposition technique in the semiconductor industry. Enhanced cycle life for ALD valves is […]
Ozone-Resistant Vacuum Valve For Harsh Semiconductor & Solar Processes
MKS Instruments, Inc., has introduced a series of Corrosion and Ozone Resistant Valves, designed for longer life in extremely harsh semiconductor or solar processes. The valves feature patented technology that completely seals off the valve bellows, keeping reactive and corrosive gases such as O3, NF3 and CL2 from contacting and collecting on the bellows surface […]
