The German energy chain specialist igus has developed a compact chain system that can turn cables and pneumatic supply lines through ±1,500 degrees in a tiny space. The TwisterBand TB30 chain guides energy, data and media with little wear. Even at high rotating speeds, the system, which needs no guide, stays close to the axis. […]

Compact Pneumatic Valves Offer High Performance
Festo launched a new generation of pneumatic valves which, it claims, offer “a size-to-performance ratio never before achieved by any other valve”. The VUVG valves are based on a patented cartridge design which achieves extremely high power densities and will allow smaller valves to be used than at present in around 90% of all applications. […]
Dual-sensor, Split-connector Cuts Cylinder Costs
Three areas where you can look to cut costs on pneumatic cylinder applications include installation time, cables, and the sensors used for detecting the piston’s position. For example, first consider the sensor in a standard cylinder. Most standard cylinders use proximity switches, either internal or external to the aluminum housing that detect special targets or […]
