Cypress Envirosystems offers a Deadband version of its Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat (WPT). The Deadband feature allows the user to set two temperature points within the range where neither the heating or cooling systems are required. Common in older commercial buildings with pneumatic thermostats, a single setpoint or temperature was all that was available. If the […]

Hydrogen Hybrid Bus Running On Canadian Streets
An innovative application for pneumatics helps power a unique vehicle. The Hydrogen Hybrid Bus (HHB), was built by Golden, CO-based Proterra with funding from the U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as part of the National Fuel Cell Bus Program, and is managed by the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE). The HHB is operating […]
Gas Shut-Off Valves Have Compact Double Valve Footprint
ASCO Numatics introduced a new family of ASCO modular gas safety shut-off valves with a compact double valve footprint and the industry’s highest flow rates. The valves are ideal for boilers, furnaces, ovens, heating equipment, gas generators, and kilns used in commercial and industrial applications. ASCO’s modular gas safety shut-off valves are available in two […]
Pressure Sensor Designed For Pneumatic Applications
Ifm’s compact PQ Series pressure sensors are designed for pneumatic applications typically found in robotics and material handling applications. The sensors precisely measure the full range of pressure and vacuum typical in these applications. The cube-shaped pneumatic pressure sensor easily retrofits traditional pressure switches at a fraction of the price. Measuring only 32mm x 30mm […]
Digital Pressure Transducer For Barometric Applications
Setra Systems, Inc. released their newly enhanced model 470T digital pressure transducer for clean dry air and gases. The Model 470T now features an improved compensated temperature range of -20 to 65°C (-4 to 150 °F) and operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C (-40 to 167°F). These wider temperature ranges make the 470T particularly […]
Piston Air Motor Ideal for the Food Environment
The Huco Dynatork air motor is quite ingenious. It is based on a unique free-floating piston design that is capable of precise position control. Maximum torque is transmitted on start-up and this can be adjusted to fine limits by standard air-flow valves. Unlike other makes that operate with a system of metal pistons and connecting rods, the […]
Air Dryers Provide Moisture-free Compressed Air to Air Braking Systems
Modesto, California – Racor Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, is pleased to announce the Racor/Nabtesco Compressed Air Dryer System. The air dryer provides vapor-free compressed air to a vehicle’s air brake system reservoir. The compact Racor/Nabtesco air dryer utilizes a proprietary high performance desiccant that is more […]
