Pneumatic Air Cylinders & Actuators

Actuators perform the same type of actuation tasks as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. However, they are best used for applications requiring shorter strokes and higher force. Actuators generally cost less, are more durable, and by having fewer mechanical parts they require less maintenance.

Other advantages of a flexible walled pneumatic actuator is that it operates well in dirty, corrosive, and abrasive environments. Easily accepts angular and lateral misalignment and has a high ratio of stroke to collapsed height. Actuators unique capabilities make it ideal for friction free, leak free, flexible force applications. A wide range of stroke and force configurations are available from standard parts.

Details:

• Lower cost than conventional 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
• Compact Starting Height

We also offer pneumatic actuators from leading manufacturers such as ARO, Flowserve Worcester, Firestone, IMI Norgren, and Rotork.

Firestone Airmount™ Isolators provide the highest degree of vibration isolation of any isolator on the market. They are versatile and not only work to isolate delicate objects from external vibrations, but are able to support vibrating loads and prevent its energy from disturbing the surroundings. Airmount Isolators reduce structural noise, are available in a wide range of sizes, and extend equipment life through their superior isolation capabilities. Airmount Isolators are a great alternative to conventional coil springs and other types of isolators.

Details:

• Wide Size Range
• Compact Installed Height
• Constant efficiency
• Best isolation capability
