Unlike most pneumatic positioning systems on the market, which control the position of the actuator with directional flow, AVENTICS utilizes our expertise in direct acting proportional pressure regulators. This principle of operation can be applied equally well in both piston rod and rodless pneumatic cylinders in a considerable range of bore sizes and strokes. The […]

WEISS’ HP 140 Pick-and-Place series
WEISS North America, Inc. continues to evolve its HP 140 Pick-and-Place series with a myriad of superior performance capabilities vs. traditional pneumatic systems. Key to its configuration is the integration of a horizontal and a vertical linear axisβall in a single module that can move directly to all points along these two axes. The HP […]
Rexrothβs MS01 offers extremely precise measurement
Bosch RexrothΒ has developed the MS01 ΊΪΑΟ³ΤΉΟ Part Present Sensing System, which monitors the positioning of parts at very precise measuring accuracy of up to 0.01 millimeter. This pneumatic modular system is designed to detect part presence as automatic processing and feeding of workpieces often depends on exact positioning. Moreover, exact calibration fulfills the strictest client […]
Precision pneumatic-to-current P/I transducers
ControlAir Inc. has announced its P200 and P290 pneumatic-to-current P/I transducers. These transmitters are designed to convert standard 3-15, 3-27 or 6-30 psig air pressures into a two wire 4-20 or 10-50 mA signal with a total accuracy up to +/- 0.10%.
Proximity sensors are versatile, reliable
Festo proximity sensors SMT-/SME-10M are applicable to a wide range of drive units and offer a new dimension of reliability and cost effectiveness. The long cylinder-style sensors detect the position of magnets fitted to pneumatic drives.
Replacing linear pots with non-contact technology
Typical resistive linear potentiometers are especially vulnerable to performance degradation caused by wear to the resistive element. Because the measurement principle relies on mechanical contact between the resistive element and conductive wiper, mechanical wear can lead to erratic output signals and, ultimately, unreliable process control.
