WATER ACTUATED CYLINDER IN SEMI-CONDUCTOR WAFER ELEVATOR APPLICATION
An important high technology manufacturer builds processing equipment used in the fabricating of semiconductor integrated circuits. One operation in their chemical / mechanical polisher (CMP) involves lowering a cassette of silicon wafers into a rinse tank, then raising it. This sounds simple enough but a cassette can contain as many as 25 wafers etched […]
Anti-Stiction Air Cylinder Improves Membrane Switch Testing
An Air cylinder that uses a carbon /graphite piston within a glass housing produces precise and repeatable motion during membrane switch testing. A precision low friction cylinder with a piston that slides on a cushion of air is being used to provide reciprocating motion in membrane switch test systems. An Airpel air cylinder, produced […]
X-Ray Machine Snubbed by Air Dashpots
“If someone has already worked out all the problems in a particular component and it is now available off the shelf at a reasonable cost, why spend time designing it all over again? Why absorb the cost of setting up to manufacture it yourself? “These questions arose when the members of the engineering team at […]
PISTON & CYLINDER SETS OFFER DESIGNERS LOW COST COMPONENTS WITH UNMATCHED CAPABILITIES.
Airpot announces its new line of adaptable piston and cylinder sets. Constructed using a graphite piston / borosilicate glass cylinder combination in which each piston is selectively matched to fit the cylinder with extremely close clearances. They have unparalleled low friction, responding to forces as low as only a few grams and pressures less than […]
AIR BEARING/ACTUATOR GUARANTEED TO OUTLAST ANY MACHINE IT’S USED IN
Norwalk, CT. – Airpot Corporation Airpel Division, has introduced the Airpel-AB Air Bearing Actuator that combines air cylinder like linear actuation with zero friction air bearing technology. The Airpel -AB provides “force without friction” which is made possible by a specially shaped stainless steel piston that is precisely fitted to a borosilicate glass cylinder. […]
