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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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® 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. […]

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 […]
