The Pneu-Turn series of actuators provides
smooth, almost unlimited rotation in a lightweight package.
Configurations include a rack-and pinion unit that can apply
up to 500 in-lbs of torque; a unit with a rotary potentiometer
for position feedback; and an actuator equipped with magnetorestrictive
switches and miniature reed switches for position sensing.
The rack-and-pinion unit is offered in bore sizes from 9/16-
to 2-in. and 14mm to 50mm. Bore sizes for the compact position
feedback actuator are 1 1/2- and 2-in. The magnetic position
sensing unit is offered in single and double rack models,
with five standard angles of rotation and bores from 9/16-
to 2-in. Bimba Manufacturing Co, Monee, IL.

NFPA cylinders.
DM2 series NFPA-interchangeable cylinders have an extruded
aluminum barrel that eliminates tie-rods. Wear-compensating
seals and PTFE wear rings on the pistons ensure long service.

Linear
pick & place modules. A series of non-servo robotic
modules provides a gripping action oriented in-line or perpendicular
to short axial motion. Basic modules are air-operated and
controlled through solenoid-actuated 4-way valves. Rated payload
is 5 lb with motion to 12 in. Options include anti-rotation
versions, adjustable stops mounted on the aft end or side,
and various finger styles. Mack Corp, Flagstaff,

Rodless linear drive. The DGPL
drive offers a high degree of force in a small space, high
rigidity and torque resistance. Installation lengths are only
slightly more than stroke lengths, ranging from 10 to 3000mm.

Automation
components. This manufacturer offers a complete
line of pneumatic modular automation components. Features
include proportional cushioning, fully adjustable end-of-stroke
hard stops and sensing. Barrington Automation,

Pneumatic swing
clamps. The 8300 series quick-acting swing cylinder clamps
feature a 0.50-in vertical stroke and 75-lb clamping force
at 100 psig, operating pressure with standard arm. Clamps
adjust automatically on every cycle. The 90-degree swing-and-clamp
movement simplifies part loading and unloading, reducing operation
cycle time. Multiple mounting and arm options are available.

Cylinder
with positioner. The 2MA pneumatic aluminum cylinder has
a linear position sensor that accurately senses a piston's
position in relation to its stroke to the nearest one-thousandth
of an inch. Capable at operation with service pressures up
to 250 psi, the cylinder is available in bore sizes from 1.25-
to 8-in., with piston rod diameters of 0.5- to 1.75-in. and
stroke lengths up to 100 in. Cushions and bumpers are optional.
