Pneumadyneβs new Miniature Precision Regulator offers highly accurate air pressure control in a compact package; suitable for limited space applications. This precision machined, high quality regulator features an output pressure range up to 100 psi and high flow rate of 4.5 scfm.
Components
Explosion proof, intrinsically safe valves
Benefits to the unique design of AIRTEC’s valves for ATEX and FM/CSA directives include “AIRTEC-Ring” sealing system and virtually zero leak/bubble tight seal.
Push-to-connect fittings
Beswick PTC series push-to-connect fittings are designed for use in challenging applications. These fittings provide quick and simple tubing connection/disconnection and leak-tight performance in a space saving package.
AutomationDirect pneumatic line adds modular solenoid valves
NITRA pneumatic BVS series modular solenoid valves are body ported, three-port (three-way), two-position poppet valves available in normally-open or normally-closed configurations.
Composite cylinder rods reduce weight
When a design engineer needs to reduce the weight of a cylinder assembly, one of the first thoughts is to use a lighter cylinder material. Polygon Co.’s composite cylinders are lower in weight than aluminum and are similar to magnesium.
Stainless steel solenoid valves
AIRTEC ΊΪΑΟ³ΤΉΟs has announced the release of 316 Stainless Steel solenoid valves. These standard valves are suitable to IP67. IP69K is available on request.
New cylinder system from Polygon
Polygon Co. has announced their new pneumatic cylinder known as Constrained Tube Technology. CTT is a complete pneumatic system that allows the composite tube to be fitted within the confines of a thin-walled outer host.
Risk assessment, Part 2 β cylinder applications
A thorough machine risk assessment should focus, at least initially, on the actuators, whether they are cylinders, air motors, air bags, or clutch brake mechanisms.
Risk assessmentβsafety exhaust considerations
When evaluating a production systemβs adherence to safety standards, electrical considerations are usually the top priority. A thorough risk assessment, however, requires that the fluid power components also be reviewed, especially considering they are often the final control element.
ContiTech’s high-performance air actuators
ContiTech Air Spring Systems is presenting a wide variety of products at the IFPE in Las Vegas, including its triple-convolution actuators.
