Optimax Series OCG round-body pneumatic actuators provide an alternative to the company’s standard “built-to-order” product line. The cylinders are field-repairable and come in six standard bores from 3/4 to 21/2 in. and 10 standard strokes from 1 to 12 in. Standard features include cushions to reduce end-of-travel impact and magnets for switch-sensing capability. The cylinders are lubricated for life for pressures to 140 psi and offer 2- to 20-in./sec speed range.
In a departure from conventional wisdom, motion control can be implemented to increase production rate and product quality and consistency—all at the same time.
