Firestone Industrial Products Distributor

Firestone Airstroke™ Actuators have long been used in the industrial market as pneumatic actuators incorporated into innovative machinery designs as well as replacement actuators for traditional pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. They have advantages over traditional cylinders in that they are durable, operate well in corrosive and abrasive environments, easily accept misalignment, and have a high ratio of stroke to collapsed height.

Also available are the Airomatic™ Polyactuators. They assist in conveyor transfer sections and roller brakes, but can be used in any application requiring small pressure & stroke and are about a third of the cost of pancake cylinders.

• Wide Size Range
• Durable Long Life
• No Maintenance or Lubrication Required – No Internal Rod or Piston
• Friction Free for Immediate Response
• Flexible Media – works with either a liquid or gas
• Angular and Side Loading Capabilities
