Large diameter pneumatic cylinder gets revamped
Festo introduced today the DSBG line of ISO 15552 large diameter tie rod cylinders in 160 and 200 mm sizes, with sizes 250 and 320mm available in June. Festo utilized software modeling tools to design this new series of large pneumatic cylinders. DSBG cylinders are quieter, cost less, and are more durable than the cylinders […]
ΊΪΑΟ³ΤΉΟ actuators ensure ballast function in emergencies
Depending on the weight and distribution of the load in the hull, ballast tank systems either flood or empty the distributed tanks. This βtrimmingβ generates counterweights on demand, keeping the ship stable on water. The special challenge: βThe system has to continue functioning even in the event of power failure and if the valves are […]

Piab’s line of mounting elements offer an easy way to install suction cups and accessories at the correct working position without the cost of engineering time or sourcing from another supplier. The complete program consists of Mounting brackets (MB), Height adjusters (HA), Suction cup rod extensions (SE) and Level compensators (LC). The parts are designed […]
Clippard MAR-1 series miniature pressure regulators
When Clippard introduced a miniature regulator in 1962, the MAR-1Β became very popular as a simple, robust, and cost-effective regulator in a small packageΒ with exceptionally long life. As regulator applications continue to increase, Clippard isΒ meeting the demand with a variety of new models, options and improvements. Regulators are offered in either relieving or non-relieving versions. The […]
What are FRLs used for?
Filter regulator lubricators (FRLs) take what can be hot, dirty and wet air from a compressor and make it safe for use throughout the other parts of a compressed air system, which can be sensitive to contamination. First, the air-line filter traps solid particles like dust, dirt and rust while separating water and oil. Removing […]
