Overview of Airpot Products and Uses
Airpot Corporation manufactures instrument quality, precision air dashpots, snubbers, pneumatic actuators, and Airpel Anti-Stiction Air Cylinders. All of our devices are built using a graphite piston / borosilicate glass cylinder combination in which each piston is selectively matched to fit the cylinder with extremely close tolerances. (These are also sold as piston/cylinder sets).

Airpot products offer the following benefits over other pneumatic piston /cylinder based motion control devices:
• They have unparalleled low friction, responding to forces as low as only a few grams and pressures less than 0.2 psi.
• Starting and running friction are almost identical, preventing jerky, uncontrolled starts and providing uniform smoothness throughout the full stroke of the device.
• They are unaffected by extreme temperature variations
• They run clean and do not contaminate surrounding components.
• No seals are required, and there are no liquids to leak.
• They are made of self-lubricating materials.
• They can withstand exceedingly high cycle rates. They do not heat up or change viscosity under conditions of rapid and/or continuous cycling
• They have a life-span of multi-millions of cycles. They will commonly outlast the machines in which they are used.
• The piston and cylinder will not rust, corrode, or deteriorate over time, even with little or no use over extended intervals.
• They are precise and accurate
• They can be customized easily to suit special space, mounting, and performance requirements
