Electromechanical (EMC) Cylinders give users custom control over positioning accuracy, axial thrust power, torque, and speed – providing more flexibility to applications that traditionally use hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. The EMCs contain a precision-rolled ball screw actuator that ensures high positioning accuracy and repeatability, and eliminates the stick-slip effect. They come in in six sizes […]
Components
Airpel Anti-Stiction Actuator
Airpot Corporation announces a specially designed long length (up to 1 meter) Airpel Anti-Stiction actuator that meets the needs of coordinate measuring machine and other metrology device manufacturers for a low friction counterbalance device to allow smooth movement and precise positioning of the z-axis measuring arm while manipulating the device through its measurement range. Airpot’s […]
Solenoid & Air Pilot Operated Valves
Pneumadyne introduces the new “22” Series Solenoid and Air Pilot Operated Valves in 3-Way and 4-Way configurations with 1/8 NPT (F) ports. These high flow valves provide a flow rate of 40 scfm at 125 psi and feature single or double air pilot and solenoid operators. 1 Watt, 15 mm solenoid valves consume less power […]
New Product Catalog from Mead Fluid Dynamics
Chicago, IL – Mead Fluid Dynamics announces the release of its new product catalog. The launch is part of a larger effort to align the pneumatic component manufacturer with parent company Bimba Manufacturing. The new catalog adopts the Bimba graphic standards to better integrate the two companies visually and also features enhanced product photography to […]
Bosch Rexroth Acquires Majority Stake Easun
Lohr, Germany / Cixi, China – Bosch Rexroth is set to acquire a majority stake in Zhejiang Easun Pneumatic Technology Co. Ltd. (Easun), based in Cixi, China. Easun, one of the leading pneumatics companies in China, develops, produces and sells pneumatic cylinders, valves, maintenance units and accessories for the local market, and employs around 900 […]
Parker’s Piston Accumulator Bore Size Range Increases
The demand for large accumulators with excellent power density energy and fast response time is rising. In response, Parker is producing hydro-pneumatic piston accumulators with a 25-in. inside diameter (ID) bore. Large bore piston accumulators have increasing application in large power plant valve actuators, die casting, injection molding machines, and hydraulic presses; as well as […]
Pneumatics Provide Tight Position Control
Spinal cord injury (SCI) has potentially devastating consequences. As of June 2006, over 253,000 people in the U.S. had structural or functional issues related to spinal cord injuries. Evaluation of spinal implant devices requires testing systems that can replicate the complex motions and loads human joints commonly undergo. Continually improving equipment that can perform tests […]
Isonic® V1 Valves from Mead
Isonic® 2, 3 and 4-Way valves feature a unique, multi-patented design that shrinks valve size while boosting flow capacity. Isonic® technology eliminates all machining operations associated with valve manufacturing. Requiring only simple assembly, Isonic® can be produced quickly and easily with significant cost reduction. The heart of the Isonic® concept is its patented “half-shell” design. […]
Servo-pneumatic Systems from Festo
Modern servo-pneumatic systems offer the same functions as their system alternatives. This is demonstrated by demanding applications such as automated mirror image welding in the production of polymer cylinders. The strengths of the new generation of pneumatic positioning technology are made plainly apparent in applications such as automated hot plate welding. With the help of […]
