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.

One-finger cylinders can be spaced as far away from each other as needed, making them the best choice for use with large parts. Create a system of these air cylinders by placing multiple along your line to control the timing and speed with which they meter parts.

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.
