The short, compact body design of these new block cylinders saves space and simplifies mounting, particularly in applications where space is at a premium, such as press fitting, stamping, clamping, and robotics. The cylinders have an extruded aluminum body with 10 nominal bore sizes ranging from 0.5 inch to 4 inches. The cylinders are available as single-acting, double-acting, and double-acting/non-rotating types. Tandem and dual cylinder types for multiple force and stroke applications are also available. Various mounting choices include threaded through-holes on body or foot, flange, and pivot styles. Users can choose among four different sensor switches, including Hall-effect or reed types and LEDs. Although compact, the unique body design permits the switches to be mounted on three sides. Options include: Viton seals, male rod thread, or non-rod thread. Humphrey Products Co.

Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
