Pnuematic Actuation-
Pressure or Vacuum

Fitted with a hose barb in place of the damping adjustment screw, the Airpot is capable of acting as a pneumatic actuator, providing smooth precise positioning.
In high speed filament winders (as shown above), Airpot actuators are part of a force control system to maintain proper filament tension. The ultra-low friction Airpots provide precise, hysteresis-free force control in response to small pressure or vacuum changes directed by the controller.
In automatic assembly and semi-conductor equipment, it smoothly dispenses and positions parts.

The Airpot Actuator is an instrument class pneumatic pressure or vacuum operated device designed to provide ultra-low friction and exceedingly long life with the least amount of mass and contamination. It is particularly well suited for applications requiring the most sensitive response possible from an air cylinder

NOTE: ALL UNITS ARE SINGLE ACTING (MAY BE PRESSURIZED ONLY IN THE EXTENSION DIRECTION) BUT VACUUM MAY BE USED FOR RETRACTION

WHY USE THEM?
APPLY A PRECISE FORCE
• Provide a precise, repeatable motive or counterbalancing force
• Apply a gentle or precise holding or squeezing force (as low as a few grams)
ACTUATION WITH UNIFORM MOTION
• Move something slowly and smoothly-even over distances less than 0.1 inch
• Cycle at very high speeds- up to 100 cps
ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES
• Can act as a low-differential pressure sensor
• Can provide a visible indicator of pressure change
• Can be used as a pump in certain applications
• Connecting rod can move through large angles
• Offers lowest possible mass
MAIN FEATURES:
• They will respond to as little as 0.2 psi pressure or vacuum
• They are unaffected by temperature extremes from –55 C to + 150 C
• They use no lubricants and run clean
• They have ultra low hysteresis
• They will not deteriorate, stick, or change properties from any duration of non-use |
