The clamp arm rotates 90° as it extends away from the workpiece providing clearance and access for unload/load operations.  Doubleacting operation and standard magnetic piston offer positive cycles, durability and workpiece detection features.

Fabco-Air is now offering a modified version of its 32mm bore 

Global Series cylinder for use in conveyor stopping applications. With its new, heavy duty mounting, oversized piston rod, and its special rod bearing with increased surface area, the cylinder stands tough against the abuse of side impact loading.

Fabco-Air applies the unique Multi-Power® Principle to a precision framework and base, providing you with the ultimate in a powerful, precision, compact, air-powered bench press for production or laboratory use.

These units, with their many unique and attractive features, provide the ultimate for those systems that require hydraulic-type (precision, smooth, and rigid) cylinder control from shop air. Air-oil systems can provide the smoothness and rigidity of a hydraulic system without the inherent high costs and space consuming pump, motor, tank, relief valve, and other components required for a noisy hydraulic system.

Fabco-Air Multi-Power® Boosters provide a convenient, low cost way of adding the control, rigidity, and power of hydraulics to an air powered machine. Boosters use shop air to raise the pressure of another gas or liquid.

Time Proven • Space Saving • Reliable• 2, 3 and 4 Way Solenoid Valves with 10-32 or 1/8 NPT ports are available in singular or modular manifold versions. Any combination of function and ports can be combined in the same manifold stack to save time, space and plumbing.

The Series 38MP is a 3 or 2 way, 2 position composite body solenoid valve designed to take the place of a fitting using a female inlet and male outlet port. The valve is generally mounted into an air cylinder port to control a single acting linear actuator.

The VTR Vacuum Generator produces high quality vacuum, from shop air, that can be used for applications such as suction cups for parts handling, chamber evacuation, and countless others.

MB Series low profile breather vents have many applications. They are most often used on single acting cylinders or valves to prevent dirt and foreign particles from entering ports open to atmosphere.

These precision machined valves are designed and manufactured to provide micro-Fine™ control of gasses and liquids. They have a micrometer pitch (40 threads per inch) adjusting thread and precision machined tapered needle and seat. They are available as needle valves and flow control valves.
