Cylinder produces rotary piston motion throughout stroke.
Twist Clamp Cylinder is offered in 4 bore sizes of 25, 40, 50, and 63 mm. By attaching clamp arm, actuator becomes clamping mechanism for light-duty holding applications. Clamping force of up to 600 lb can be achieved at maximum pressure of 140 psi. Rotary motion rotates clamp arm out of work area for easy loading and unloading of parts. Cylinder has hard coat anodized, PTFE-impregnated body.

Booster Cylinder remedies under-powered actuators..
Compact Air-to-Air Booster operates on air pressure alone to amplify input pressure 2:1. Outlet air pressure up to 250 psi is possible. Applications include fixtures and tooling that have already been designed, but it is later determined that actuators are providing insufficient force. Booster can be installed to amplify input pressure and supply required power. Units have hard-coat anodized,...
