Standard Hy-P hybrid actuator with optional magnetic sensor for position feedback. Hy-P actuator uses pneumatics for power and self-contained hydraulics for control. Since its introduction, the hydropneumatic (Hy-P) ......More
You can't beat hydraulics for clamping systems to hold workpieces in place during machining. Hydraulics is fast, reliable, and generates high force from small actuators. And with today's high-output CNC machining centers, multiple clamps are used for hold...More
Hybrid hydropneumatic actuators hit the industrial market about a year ago. They offer the simplicity and convenience of pneumatic cylinders in combination with the controllability and smoothness of servohydraulics....More
Bending machine uses enclosed pump-motor assembly mainly for quiet operation but also benefits from positive side effects. When it comes to framing members and other structural elements for cars and ......More
This open-bed, portable milling machine boasts a 14 ft2 working area and relies on Nutron’s ball-piston motors in combination with Mico hydraulic spring brakes for precise speed contol over a wide range of speed and ......More
Unconventional cylinders lower and raise a cassette (worth up to $1 million or more) of silicon wafers for processing, so smooth, precise, and reliable vertical motion is a must....More
Collision Isolator at end of robot arm uses compliant air spring to protect tooling. Expensive or delicate end tooling for robots requires protection against crashes when the robot accidentally bumps into something during set-up or in ......More
Fig. 7. Hydraulic system on simple, rugged Stokar, at left, must contend with radiated heat from open smelter oven, below. Silicon — a critical metal used in the alloying of steel, aluminum, and other metals, ......More
Steel mill conditions challenge workers and equipment Pouring molten metal from a ladle in a steel mill is dangerous work at best, but when a component in the metal-pouring system malfunctions, the results can be catastrophic — not to ......More
Pneumatic control cabinet houses Festo ISO and Tiger solenoid valves actuated by Festo FPC 404 programmable controller that provides multi-tasking/multi-processing flexibility and built-in diagnostics. Most people read ......More
