PRG 2-Finger Radial Gripper
The new PRG 2-Finger Radial Gripper from SCHUNK combines high gripping moments with small dimensions. The integrated pneumatic oval piston drive guarantees maximum power density. Radial gripping motions are often achieved by integrating a slotted link gear. Existing links cause an extreme reduction in the gripping moment, if the opening angles are rather small. SCHUNK […]
Bimba Introduces its First Rod-Type Electric Actuator
Monee, IL โ Bimba announces the introduction of its first ever, rod-type electric actuator, the Original Line Electric (OLE). OLE actuators are designed, built, and tested to provide the longest life, greatest durability, highest speed, and most thrust per dollar. With speeds up to 22 inches per second, strokes to 18 inches standard, and thrusts […]
Enfield Technologies Makes Proportional บฺมฯณินฯ Control More Affordable
Thanks to some innovative engineering, Enfield Technologies has reached an important goal – making a complete proportional pneumatic control system much more affordable. A basic positioning system includes a proportional valve and control electronics manufactured by Enfield Technologies paired with a pneumatic actuator and a position sensor provided by a variety of highly regarded partner […]
Sealed Two-Finger Parallel Gripper
The successful DPGplus series of sealed 2-finger parallel grippers has been extended with sizes 240 and 300. The pneumatic drive with oval pistons and the multi-tooth guides ensure precise and reliable gripping. This ensures a high level of machine up time and high returns from production and assembly applications. The DPGplus sealed 2-finger parallel gripper […]
DUAL SENSOR FOR C-GROOVE CYLINDERS
BIM-UNR Dual Sensor (High-Res) TURCK’s BIM-UNR line of compact magnetic cylinder position sensors now includes a dual sensor designed for detecting short and long stroke C-groove cylinders. BIM-UNR dual sensors provide a distinct advantage by combining two sensors through one cable connection to speed installation, as well as lessen wire costs and connection points. This […]
Actuator Improves Plant Safety & Valve Control
Oil and water don’t mix. Neither do oil leaks and EPA regulations. At Florida’s City of Cocoa Charles H. Dyal Water Treatment Facility, this posed a problem. The accumulator system used for the hydraulic actuators contained more than 100 gallons of hydraulic fluid which frequently leaked. The plant had been in the process of replacing […]
