GAS SPRINGS

Available in two models

Two new models have been added to the company's T3 Series of gas springs: the T3-170 with a 19 mm diameter and stroke lengths from 7 to 125 mm, and the T3-320 with a 25 mm diameter and stroke lengths from 7 to 125 mm. These products extend the line to 11 models with contact forces from 380 to 21,400 lbs. Both feature a bottom port for gas charging that can also connect to the Micro EZ^™ Hose System; also, both incorporate an upper ISO-standard C-groove and threaded bottom hole to allow for a range of mounts.

FLUOROPLASTIC TUBING

For robotics and automation

Texflour^™ Fluoroplastic tubing is designed for use in robotics and automation applications. It is offered in PTFE, FEP, and PFA; these materials can be extruded in sizes from 0.125 to 4 inches, and they are engineered to achieve small bend diameters without reducing the flow within the inside diameter of the tube. All materials are FD and USP Class VI approved. The product offers a flexible, nonstick surface for easy cleaning. It is chemical-resistant.

AIR-SAVING VALVE

360 degree rotation

The ASR (pressure valve) and ASQ (flow valve) are designed to respond to customers' needs for saving energy. The ASR consists of a regulator with check valve and speed controller; the ASQ consists of quick supply/exhaust valve and speed controller (meter-in, meter-out). The body and one-touch fitting allow 360-degree rotation. Fixed set pressure type and variable set pressure type are available.

BASKET AIR FILTERS

Extend surface area

The company's Basket Air Filters are engineered to enhance cooling capability in electronics equipment enclosures by significantly expanding air filter surface area. The product's design can more than the double surface area, extending either inside or outside the enclosure. A one-piece fabricated frame and grid design assures sturdiness in standing up to electronics equipment enclosures' high airflow requirements.

SOLENOID VALVE

Instant acting

The company's new solenoid valve features a typical response time of less than 20 msec, allowing nearly instantaneous correction of payload position or rotation through thrust vectoring. The product's compact and lightweight design uses a pressure-balanced, dual-seat, split-flow poppet for bubble-tight sealing at pressures up to 575 psig. Extremely high mass flow rates are possible. It is configurable for a range of cold-gas systems.

TRANSDUCER

Noncontacting

Created for continuous use at operating pressures up to 350 bar, the TMI noncontacting transducers are integrated into hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. They are designed to provide direct, precise, and absolute measurements from 100 to 4,500 mm with single or multiple position markers. According to the company, there are no limits to the transverse speed and acceleration of the markers, and it provides unlimited mechanical life expectancy.

AIR FILTERS

One continuous piece

The company's perforated air filters feature a hex-pattern panel design. They are designed to provide strong, one-piece, low-cost media support. They allow for up to 85 percent open area, maximizing airflow and extending the life of vital electronic components. The products are made of one continuous piece, creating a sturdy support frame, even when the combined thickness of filter media and frame is as thin as 0.25 inch in limited space applications.
