Power Transmission

Air Cylinders

Push and pull loads to do everything from stamping materials to sorting parts on conveyors

Electric Actuators

Electric Actuators

Push and pull loads with more precise positioning than air and hydraulic cylinders

Hydraulic Cylinders

Hydraulic Cylinders

Push and pull heavy loads to operate forklifts, compactors, and other machinery

Air Slides

Convey grippers, printing heads, and other loads back and forth on a carriage

Solenoids

Extend, retract, or rotate to actuate switches, valves, locks, and other components

Air Actuators

Turn loads in clockwise and counterclockwise directions with compressed air

Stopper Cylinders

Stopper Cylinders

Extend to stop loads on a conveyor and retract to let them pass

Parts Metering Cylinders

Parts Metering Cylinders

Space out parts to control flow on conveyors and feeders

Cylinder Rod Locks

Cylinder Rod Locks

Hold the piston's position during an emergency stop or power loss to keep the load safely in place

Rod Alignment Couplers

Rod Alignment Couplers

Reduce wear on bearings and seals by flexing when the cylinder and load aren't precisely even

Stepper Motors

The motor shaft turns in small, equal increments for precise positioning

Positioning Slides

Positioning Slides

A lead screw drives the carriage for accurate positioning in laboratory and production equipment

Material Handling

Jacks

Lift, hold, push, and position heavy objects

Jack Pumps

Pump hydraulic oil into jack rams to create hydraulic jacks

Jack Rams

Attach to jack pumps to lift, push, or pry apart objects with hydraulic power

Jack Mounts

Thread onto jack rams to secure them to a surface

Pick-and-Place Grippers

Pick-and-Place Grippers

Join grippers with fingers to grasp and move items in pick-and-place applications

Vacuum Cups

Connect to vacuum lifters to grip, lift, and move items

Vacuum Cup Levelers

Vacuum Cup Levelers

Adjust vacuum cups to lift items with variable heights; also known as spring plungers

Vacuum Cup Swivels

Vacuum Cup Swivels

Rotate and flex so your vacuum cups can grip items at an angle

Mounts for Vacuum Cups and Lifters

Mounts for Vacuum Cups and Lifters

Mount vacuum cups or vacuum lifters to surfaces

Vacuum Lifters

Grip and move objects with air- or electric-powered suction

Vacuum Lifter Dampers

Vacuum Lifter Dampers

Stick onto vacuum lifters to create a soft surface for moving delicate parts

Vacuum Fittings

Vacuum Fittings

Connect to vacuum cups and compressed air to create suction; also known as venturi devices

Vacuum Pads

Add to vacuum cups to move textured items that standard cups can’t pick up

Fluid Handling

Flow-Adjustment Valve Manifolds

Flow-Adjustment Valve Manifolds

Control flow to multiple points from one source

Flow-Adjustment Valves

Flow-Adjustment Valves

Gradually open and close to control the volume of air and liquids through a line

Valve Actuators

Valve Actuators

Automatically start and stop flow to your valve

Manifolds

Distribute air or fluid to multiple places from a single source; also called headers

Hose and Hose Fittings

Hose and Hose Fittings

Flexible and stronger than tubing; often used to convey liquids and gases under pressure

Pressure Gauges

Pressure Gauges

Measure pressure in pumps, filters, regulators, and process lines
