Airpot piston and cylinder kits are unaffected by extreme temperature variations, run clean and do not contaminate surrounding components. No piston seals are required, and there are no liquids or lubricants to leak. Materials used are capable of exceedingly high cycle rates. They do not heat up or materially change under conditions of rapid and/or continuous cycling and have a life-span of multi-millions of cycles.
Innovative designers use Airpot piston and cylinder kits as linear bearings, vacuum pickups, inertia sensors, portable piston pumps, position sensors, spool valves, flow indicators, pressure sensors, dispensers, pneumatic calibration devices, Stirling Engine power pistons, and for many other demanding applications. Airpot piston and cylinder kits exhibit very low mass, no deterioration or change in performance due to age or non-use, have the ability to move linearly and rotationally simultaneously, and use a clear, see-through cylinder. When driven by pressurized air, maximum performance can be enhanced when used in conjunction with Airpot’s precision FFR low pressure filter/regulator products.
The cylinders are available in bore sizes ranging from 0.220” to 1.75”, and lengths from the desired stroke plus 0.325” to the desired stroke plus 0.880”. All models exhibit friction of less than 1 gram (in the absence of side loads).
