FLUID POWER ACTUATORS

When you application calls for fluid power actuation our sales and application engineers stand ready to assist you with the size and selection of the rod or rod-less device that best suits your application requirement.

 

Pneumatic Rod Style Cylinders

 

Pneumatic rod style cylinders are ideal for applications where an air supply is readily available and low to moderate force is required. We offer a full range of cylinders that comply with NFPA and ISO mounting standards along with low-cost non-repairable round-line series. Cylinder bore sizes range from ½” up to 14” with strokes up to 20 feet.

 

Rod-Less Cylinders and Slides

When space is at a premium or a payload must be supported, please consider our rod-less cylinder and slide products. Rod-less actuators are ideal for applications involving long travel distances with limited space for mounting. The required space to mount a rod-less actuator is roughly half of what is needed to mount a rod style cylinder. Unlike rod style cylinders, rod-less actuator designs are capable of supporting payloads of up to 2000 lbs. Cylinders can be configured with a multitude of mounting and sensing options to minimize your integration costs.

 

Hydraulic Rod Style Cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders are the best choice for applications requiring high forces, stiffness, and good feed-rate control in the smallest dimensional envelope possible. We offer a broad range of bore, stroke and mounting styles enabling you to configure a cylinder that closely matches your application requirement. If you are also looking to add or upgrade your hydraulic supply system we would also like to offer our assistance in the design and fabrication of a hydraulic power unit that is properly configured to satisfy your cylinder performance specifications.

Shock Absorbers and Vibration Isolation Components

 

As companies strive to increase productivity by operating machinery at higher speeds, often the results are increased noise, damage to machinery/products, and excessive vibration. At the same time machine, safety and reliability are decreased. Shock absorbers provide controlled, predictable deceleration. These products work by
converting kinetic energy to thermal energy. The result is extended component life, quieter operation and potentially higher cycle rates. Vibration isolators are used to isolate sensitive equipment or processes from sources of vibration.  These devices are typically constructed of elastomeric or braided wire rope materials.
