Aventics developed a superior method of adjusting pneumatic cylinder cushions several years ago and many customers have since enjoyed the benefits. Now a new manual, titled “The ABC’s of Pneumatic Cylinder Cushioning” is available to instruct a user on how to achieve “Ideal Cushioning”. Benefits of Ideal Cushioning include: • Reduced cycle times—increasing productivity for […]

Valve system helps nimble giant put out fires
Edited by: Mike Santora • Associate Editor Frankfurt airport. An engine catches fire during a passenger aircraft landing. The alarm goes off in the fire station. Firefighters spring into action, hit the big green button in the crew room and run to their vehicles. Downstairs, they are greeted by airport crash tenders, 12 m long […]
Machine safety expertise guide for pneumatics
Protecting people, machines and property is the primary objective of safety-related pneumatic systems and components. For all production machinery, international standards and regulations define measures to prevent accidents through safe machine design. AVENTICS has published a guide that covers key topics in the implementation of relevant directives and standards for safety-related pneumatics using examples, circuit […]
Electro-pneumatic pressure regulator for pneumatic valve manifold
The latest enhancement to AVENTICS AV (Advanced Valve) series pneumatic directional control valves is the AV-EP, an electro-pneumatic pressure regulator that can be integrated into the valve manifold. This lets the user control proportional flow with the same digital communication as used with the directional control valves. The AV-EP can control either an external device […]
Stainless steel pneumatic mini cylinders are hygienically designed
The AVENTICS CSL-RD pneumatic mini cylinders are hygienically designed and fabricated from 304 stainless steel, providing great coverage of food and packaging applications. The CSL-RD ISO 6432 cylinders come in three versions. The food processing-optimized FRE version has no external mounting threads, avoiding food and bacteria traps. The electro-polished construction (smoothed to no more than […]
New fieldbus protocols available
The AVENTICS CL03 Clean Line series of pneumatic directional control valves were specifically designed to handle your high pressure wash-down applications. The valve manifolds are available with multi-pin electrical connections or fieldbus. The fieldbus protocols for CL03 have just been expanded to include Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, ProfiNet and CC-Link. These protocols are added to the existing […]
AV valve system advantages for production systems
The AV valve system from AVENTICS is a complete automation solution offering clear advantages for production systems. The AV system continuously adapts to the users’ requirements and maximizes the potential of existing machines. Comprehensive flow analyses, a modern polymer-based construction, and AVENTICS’ many years of experience with application requirements were the basis for this manifold […]
Pneumatic actuators ensure ballast function in emergencies
Depending on the weight and distribution of the load in the hull, ballast tank systems either flood or empty the distributed tanks. This “trimming” generates counterweights on demand, keeping the ship stable on water. The special challenge: “The system has to continue functioning even in the event of power failure and if the valves are […]
Electro Pneumatic Positioning System: EPPS
Unlike most pneumatic positioning systems on the market, which control the position of the actuator with directional flow, AVENTICS utilizes our expertise in direct acting proportional pressure regulators. This principle of operation can be applied equally well in both piston rod and rodless pneumatic cylinders in a considerable range of bore sizes and strokes. The […]
