Technical updates are placing standard grippers from Festo in a leading position for mechanical engineering applications of tomorrow. The parallel, three-point, radial and angle grippers DHxS from Festo are compact and offer greater reliability in the gripping process.
Components
ΊΪΑΟ³ΤΉΟ clutches and brakes for presses
The Series 0-406 and 0-420 pneumatically actuated clutch / brake combined units have been designed to meet the ever increasing performance and safety requirements in presses.
Shock absorbers for sub-zero environments
For applications that need deceleration performance at sub-zero temperatures, ACE Controls’ MAGNUM 45-LT (Low Temp) Series industrial shock absorbers are suited for the job.
Stepper-controlled pneumatic proportional valve
Using a robust and powerful linear actuator, the high-flow stepper-controlled 2-way pneumatic proportional valve features excellent performance and durability.
All-stainless-steel cylinders now offered in 12 bore sizes
Bimba Manufacturing Co. has announced the expansion of its industry-leading Original Line product series. Previously available in only 4 bore sizes, Bimba extended its All Stainless Original Line series to now include all 12 bore sizes currently available across the product line (5/16- through 3-in. bore).
Simrit’s piston sealing systems reduce friction
Simrit, the industrial sealing division of Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies, has developed three new piston seals that reduce friction and lower energy consumption in applications like mechanical transmissions and pneumatic cylinders.
Highly scalable valve manifold offers value, performance
The Festo MPA-L valve manifold offers a mix of value and performance. It is scalable down to a single valve slice, so directional valves can be adapted to any application. This saves costs and reduces size.
High-tech spider is suitable for hazardous missions
Spiders are very agile, and some can even jump. Researchers have now designed a mobile robot modeled on the same principle that moves spider legs. Created using a 3D printing process, this lightweight robot can explore terrain that is beyond human reach. Enviably agile and purposeful, the mobile robot makes its way through grounds rendered […]
Parallel grippers feature heavy-duty T-slot design
A new series of 2-finger parallel grippers from Techno-Omil feature heavy-duty T-slot design. Identified as the OPP2-…. Series, these 9 grippers feature a stroke range of from 12 mm to 72 mm and a gripping force of from 420 N to 8410 N.
RAP Box monitors energy savings
Designed by the Resource Efficiency and Conservation (RECON) division of Livingston & Haven, the RAP Box technology has already helped identify an estimated $1 million in energy savings for a major U.S. tire manufacturer and was recently purchased by a leading Southeastern pulp-and-paper company.
