These hand pumps havedisplacements of 0.54 in. 3 (8.87 cm 3 ).

Expanded standard hydraulic cylinders

Liebherr Components | liebherr.com

New hydraulic cylinder series is designed for apressure range of up to 260 bar (3,770 psi) Threedistinct production series are available:

• 260 bar series consists of 28 basic piston/ piston-rod diameter combinations. There are four available mounting types and two alternative oil connections for each of these basic variants. Single-chrome or double-chrome coating is possible.

• The 380 bar series is for use in mobile applications when long life is required in highly dynamic applications. The “eye-eye mounting” was specially designed forconnection to construction machinery and helps ensure trouble-free operation.

• ISO 6022-compliant series is designed for stationary applications. This rangeprovides 24 basic piston/piston-rod rated diameter combinations while extendingthe dimensions defined in the standard. Six mounting types and four alternative oilconnections are available for each of these basic variants. Users can select singlechromeor double-chrome coatings.

IoT-enabled shock absorber

ITT Enidine | enidine.com

Sentinel 1 is ITT Enidine’s first-generation on-board monitoring system. It incorporates microelectronic solutions forreliable performance monitoring. It features event impact signal trigger capabilities protecting valuable equipment andensuring seamless operations for various manufacturing applications including automatic storage and retrieval systems,warehousing, overhead crane and amusement rides.

Key features include:

• Advanced Intelligence Theory: Capture, measure and transmit pressure, velocity and positional data to a PLC interface

• Predictable Maintenance Technology: Allows users to monitor and manage simple (wear indicators) to complex (sensor technologies)

• Flexibility to provide beneficial information within various in-use applications including monitoring cycle count, hours of operation and internal pressure of shock absorbers and remote notification of shock absorber information

Precision vacuum regulator

ControlAir Inc. | www.controlair.com

Type 480V precision vacuum regulator is designed with a push type locking knob which allows for smooth output adjustment and the ability to lock in your setpoint to avoid unintentional adjustments. It senses output pressure deviations to within 1 ⁄2 in. water column pressure. Regulating range is from 0 to 30 in. Hg (-100 to -1.3 kPa). The unit is small in size and lightweight — less than 1 lb. The standard bracket and integral panel nut allow for versatile and easy installation options. A soft valve seat design provides tight shut off and eliminates leakage in steady state operation.

Fingerboard-latching system

Festo | festo.us

Fingerboard-latching system utilizes the VTEM Motion Terminal’s intelligent pneumatic valves to control and monitor the exact locked or completely open position of each latch without the need of electronic sensors and wire harnesses on the Fingerboard. The VTEM Motion Terminal senses and controls the position of each latch from closed to 100% open by continuous monitoring of cylinder air pressure and flow. Each Motion Terminal features internal sensors, pressure regulators, flow control, exhaust valves, and processing and communications capabilities. Measurements are graphically displayed via human machine interface (HMI) and information is available to supervisory control systems.

Each intelligent valve replaces two ordinary pneumatic valves for a 50% reduction in thenumber of components.

Extreme-pressure hose

Parker Hannifin | parker.com

R50TC/R56TC ParLock multispiral hoses are available with four or six spiral steel-wire reinforcement, for dynamic applications with pressure ratings to 56.0 MPa (8,122 psi). Parker Tough Cover (TC) is used to mitigate the problem of fittings tearing off. Hose types with TC offer a high hose-to-hose as well as hose-to-object abrasion resistance. The hose product line exceeds ISO 3862 Type R15 specifications. They are available in sizes from -6 to -20 (hose ID from 0.25 to 1.25 in. or 9.5 to 31.8 mm) with working temperature range from -40° to 100° C (-40° to 212° F).

PA Series NFPA actuator

BIMBA | bimba.com

The PA Series NFPA actuator’s lightweight aluminum construction and modern extruded design are only matched by its flexible mounting configurations and several standard features. PA Series actuators offer a consistent and reliable way to convert pneumatic energy into linear force and motion.

The PA Series is designed to meet the same requirements as typical NFPA actuators but includes features such as die-cast aluminum endcaps, extruded aluminum housing, and polymer pistons.

Benefits:

• Reduce complexity with standard universal mount and bolt-on NFPA selection

• Flexibility with integral switch mounting grooves on three sides of profile tube

• Modern appearance with smooth end caps contoured to profile tube for easy cleaning

• Auto-cushioning for a “fit-and-forget” solution

Technical Features:

• Operating pressure: 250 psig

• Bore sizes: 1.50, 2.00, 2.50, 3.25, and 4.00 in.

• Strokes: 0.125 – 100 in.

Magnetic position sensors provide continuous linear feedback

Balluff | balluff.com

These magnetic position sensors combine IO-Link, analog voltage, and analog current in a single device to overcome the limitations of discrete pneumatic cylinder switches. The newly released sensors provide continuous linear feedback — detecting and measuring the position of pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder rods and actuators through non-ferrous housing walls, over the entire measurement range. And they do it all contact-free. Suitable for most industries, they are especially advantageous for Industry 4.0 as they improve ease of automation size change and allow for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.

Key features:

• Analog voltage, current output and IO-Link interface

• Continuous monitoring of piston position in tight spaces

• Suitable for Industry 4.0

• Available in 8 measurement ranges from 32 to 256 mm, in 32 mm increments
