    Parts Metering Air Cylinders

    Space out parts on your conveyor line or vibratory feeder. Also known as escapements, these air cylinders have at least one finger that extends to hold parts and then retracts to release them. The fingers are built to withstand force from the side, so your part won’t slip past. All fingers have tapped holes on all five of their faces, so you can mount attachments to any side of them.
    Two Fingers

    Two-finger cylinders are good for precisely positioning items for sealing, labeling, and inspection. Operating on fixed timing and sequencing, they extend one finger to stop a part then extend the other finger to separate it. The two fingers hold the part like you would between your thumb and index finger. When the part is ready to be released, they retract the first finger while the other finger continues to hold back other parts. Lastly, they retract the other finger to let the next part through.

    Clean Room Flexible-Mount Air Cylinders

    Mount these cylinders directly to equipment in environments where contamination is a concern, such as electronics manufacturing. Use the threaded through-holes on the face to connect to equipment, or mount them with attachments (not included). Hook these cylinders into your compressed air line to push and pull loads. They’re double-acting, so they operate at full force in either direction. The magnetic piston inside these cylinders can activate relays and controllers when used with a sensor (not included). As the piston moves past the sensor, the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors—attach one for each action you want to trigger.
    Connect mounts to an air cylinder to create linear, pivot, or arc movements.

    Fed. Std. Class 10 and ISO Class 4—Cylinders that are rated for use in Fed. Std. Class 10 and ISO Class 4 clean rooms have a port that connects to a vacuum or exhaust system to remove particles created by friction inside the cylinder before they contaminate your space. They’re also cleaned and bagged.
