Hydraulic cylinders harness fluid pressure and flow to generate linear motion and force, and they work well in both industrial machines, like presses and plastic-molding machines, and in mobile equipment, like excavators and mining trucks.

When commercial electromechanical actuators or stages first became available, a new machine's design was often dictated by the limited number of products available to designers with very rigid designs that did not allow for customization. Learn more.

Parker's Intelligent Parker Amplifier (IPA), a full-featured servo drive/controller, is delivered standard with EtherNet/IP (EIP) communications capability. The IPA is an EIP adapter device (aka server or slave) that is ready out of the box for a PLC to establish communications to it.

Whether searching for a partner or planning to do the work internally, to bring motion and control value to your next development project, verify that the team has the right tools and skills to guarantee success.

Most engineers are comfortable with the qualities of square rail bearing linear actuators and they use them regularly for motion support. Let's take a quick moment to discuss the pros and cons of roller wheel bearing linear actuators.

ASCO's C Series is a robust compact cylinder line that is designed to fit tight space requirements. The low-profile design and variety of mounting options make this cylinder line extremely popular.

ASCO's SH Series Guided Linear Motion device is capable of heavy loads and moderately long strokes and is available with a wide range of options.

Precise temperature control is critical to ensure the safer, more manageable extended fermentation that produces high-quality products with optimal taste.

ASCO fluid control and Numatics fluid power products have been favorites in beverage plants since the 1950s. Today, ASCO provides superior fluid automation solutions for engineers and purchasers at both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and at leading bottlers and packagers worldwide.

ASCO has introduced the capability to integrate multiple safety zones within a single Numatics 503 Series valve manifold. This new zoned safety approach helps the design engineer satisfy the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and comply with ISO 13849-1 while eliminating the components and complexity found in discrete safety circuits.

WIKA's intrinsically safe submersible pressure transmitter model IL-10 has been designed for the highest requirements of level measurement. Owing to their high accuracy, reliability, and their excellent media resistance, it is the ideal solution for almost all level measurements in hazardous areas.

For more flexibility in automated production environments, Schmalz has developed the Suction Cup Balance SSCB: A gripping and clamping system with automated conversion capability for 3D mold surfaces. Workpieces of different contours can be gripped and clamped. Learn more.

For years, Schmalz has promoted communication from gripping system components to the control and even to the management level. Users can now read out data straight from the device and on mobile devices via NFC.

IAI's RCS3 Servo Press compact and low-thrust rod-type actuator can even be used for simple pressing. The high-precision position control enables easy adjustment of the push force and the position control, which is typically difficult for oil-hydraulic equipment.

Parflex Multitube? provides system solutions to the power generation market with a fully integrated heated enclosure line as part of our current heated tubing bundle products.

Parker's PM-DD servo motor is designed to provide high torque and high accuracy. Tapped mounting holes and a hollow through bore allow this motor to be used in a variety of applications that require the load to be attached directly to the motor.

Varnish formation is a common problem in the lube and hydraulic systems of today's turbomachinery. The severity of the varnish formation can be aggravated by oil chemistry, hot spots in the lube oil system, and static discharge. Hilco's ionic exchange technology has proven to be an effective method in reducing varnish potential in many applications.

Static discharge is a common problem in the lubricating oil systems of today's turbo-machinery. Hilco PH-CGJ style filter elements incorporate conductive fibers which are co-pleated in between two layers of high-performance micro glass filter media. As a result, the Hilco anti-static filter element dissipates static charge build-up before discharge can occur.

StoneL provides solutions that help reduce installation costs through easy setup, faster commissioning, and enhanced valve identification. Bright electronic indication combined with optional remote wireless access provides enhanced risk management and improved safety.

A wide variety of product types are in the new RCP6 series, which also include wide slider types and wide radial cylinder types. Allowable dynamic moment for the wide slider type is 14 times higher than the standard slider. Learn more.

Discover convenient remote access of your automated valves when you install the Axiom AMI with AS-Interface featuring Bluetooth? technology from StoneL.

Parker's Electromechanical and Drives Division announced the release of the IX InteractX PowerStation and the PCA Industrial PC PowerStation. The IX runs on the same base hardware and software as the PCA PowerStation but with one key difference. Learn more.

Walchem's W600 series controllers provide reliable, flexible, and powerful control for your water treatment program. The large touchscreen display with icon based programming makes setup easy and the universal sensor input provides extraordinary flexibility; the same controller can be used with almost any type of sensor needed.

The AVENTICS Ceram 4-way pneumatic directional control valve are subbase mounted in single or manifold configurations. The valves have ISO 5599/1 mounting dimensions, so they are interchangeable with other ISO 5599/1 valves. They are available in ISO sizes 1, 2, 3, and 4, with port sizes from ?" to 1" NPTF and ISO G (BSPP).
