AIR FILTER GAUGE

Indicates filter change time

An automotive air filter gauge indicates when it is time to change the filter and features precise diaphragm reaction for accuracy. Gauges are assembled from four molded plastic components. An air pressure change activates the diaphragm, which shows a black dot in the built-in view port. The product features a polypropylene body, polycarbonate lens, liquid silicone rubber diaphragm, and elastomer grommet/liner. Minnesota Rubber, www.mnrubber.com Enter 628

CEILING FILTER MODULE

Custom modification available

The Series 112 motorized ceiling filter module is designed for use with tee bar ceiling grid systems. Units weigh less than 47 lbs and install in limited overhead space. Filters are available in a variety of sizes, efficiencies, and options. The product has a face velocity of 90 ft/min, while motors and blowers feature low heat load and are powered at 200W, 2.4 FLRA, 115V and 60Hz. Clean Air Products, www.cleanairproducts.com Enter 633

GUIDED CYLINDER

Combine cylinders for plane movement

Guided pneumatic cylinders contain two rigid guide rods supported by slide or ball bearings for high force, precise movement, strong side load capacity, and anti-rotation. Use of the product eliminates the need for external guides. Guided cylinders allow the use of two units as a two-axis system without an adapter plate. Applications include material handling systems, grippe carriers, and tooling and fixture holding. Bosch Rexroth Group, www.boschrexroth-us.com Enter 634
