FILTER & REGULATE AIR SUPPLY
Many instruments are susceptible to random pulses and surges, which can lead to harmful, over-range conditions. The Airpot is velocity sensitive and resists these surges, providing more consistent operating conditions and preventing damage.
Application Examples
In sensitive, tilt-sensing instruments (as shown below), a two-way damping Airpot prevents the pendulum from reacting violently to sudden changes, stabilizing the pendulum but allowing it to move smoothly with angular change.
In spring scales, Airpot damps loading shock and reduces stabilization time without interfering with measurement.
In magnetic tape handling equipment, dubbers, motion picture projectors, and film duplicators Airpot provides protection where high speed stop and start can lead to overshoot, fouling, and backlash.

FORCE CAPACITY GUIDELINES**
| MODEL | 2K56 | 2K95 | 2K160 | 2K240 | 2K325 | 2K444 |
| Bore (in) | 0.220 | 0.366 | 0.627 | 0.945 | 1.281 | 1.75 |
| Pull Damping Direction(lbf) (Starting from fully retracted position) | 0.5 | 1.4 | 4 | 9 | 17 | 30 |
| Push Damping Direction (lbf) (Starting from fully extended position) | 0.35 | 1 | 3 | 7 | 13 | 24 |
| **Note: Best performance for each model will be achieved at or below input forces shown above. Maximum force capability is higher and is based on % of available volume displaced. | ||||||
