The Thomas 2220 Series brushless DC oil-less air compressor is designed for medical and other applications requiring a compact, lightweight compressor with variable output.
Air Preparation
Finding and measuring pneumatic leaks
Leaks can be a significant source of wasted energy in a pneumatic system. If compressed air were hydraulic fluid, leaks would be so visible we’d ensure their reduction.
Air is moneyβcutting pneumatics operating costs
ΊΪΑΟ³ΤΉΟ installations frequently do not include any monitoring facilitiesβa serious error, as 79% of the costs of compressed air are accounted for by the electricity used for generation and preparation.
Air regulator, filter regulator series have added features
ControlAir Inc. has announced a new Instrument Air Regulator and Air Filter Regulator series. The company has expanded its 330 instrument air filter regulator to include a regulator only version, larger porting sizes, and an automatic drain.
Energy isolation for washdown applications
Building on its rugged Stainless Steel L-O-X lockout and exhaust valve, ROSS Controls is now offering a control reliable energy isolation solution specifically designed for sensitive washdown applications.
Festo introduces MS9 compressed air preparation unit
Festo is now offering the latest addition to its MS-series air preparation units, the MS9 size, a unit with a 1-in. port capable of 600% higher flow rate than the smaller units in the series. The MS-series received Germanyβs highest design award in 2010, and the product extension MS-9 is now available in the U.S.
Compressed air filters offer top-load design
The Filtration and Separation Division of Parker Hannifin has introduced a new line of βtop-loadingβ compressed air filters. These filter housings are designed to make element change-out in even the most space-challenged environments faster and easier.
Festo launches push for greater compressed air efficiency
Compressed air preparation is not exactly a hot topic for plant operators. As a result, carelessly maintained compressed air systems waste energy and result in premature wearing of high-quality pneumatic valves and drives.
Miniature pressure regulator provides accuracy, repeatability
ControlAir has introduced the Type-90 Miniature Precision Air Pressure Regulator. This unit is designed to provide the highest level of regulation accuracy and repeatability available to valves and other automatic control equipment in a lightweight, compact housing.
Membrane air dryers from Parker Hannifin
The Filtration and Separation Division of Parker Hannifin offers a complete line of Balston membrane air dryers specifically for use with Coordinate Measurement Machines.
