Pneumatic Components
Often regarded as the fourth utility after electricity, natural gas and water, compressed air is widely used in manufacturing facilities. Basic pneumatic components such as valves, cylinders, hoses, and fittings can be combined in many ways to provide simple and reliable machine control. Pneumatic power transmission is often the best way to grip, lift, press, shift, or stack products. With the addition of some passive or adaptive control - as simple as a regulator in many cases - applications such as tensioning, crimping, cutting, and labeling are feasible and practical.
Guide to Pneumatic System Design
Pneumatic Air Preparation (FRL- Filters, Regulators, Lubricators)
A wide variety of air preparation components are available to meet a broad range of air supply filtration, regulation, and lubrication applications. The modular designs allow stand-alone applications and also enable easy field assembly for combining air prep components into a system (using modular assembly brackets, purchased separately). Pre-configured combination units are also available.

Directional Control Solenoid Valves
Directional control pneumatic solenoid valves are electrically operated to direct airflow to control operations in pneumatic systems. These valves are used to control cylinders, rotary actuators, and other pneumatic devices.
- Basic solenoid valves are standalone units that can be stacked or mounted to a manifold
- Miniature solenoid valves are for use where a small form factor is required
- Compact modular valve systems support up to 16 pneumatic solenoid valves per valve bank
- ISO 5599 valves conform to the ISO 5599/1 standard and fit onto several types of standalone manifolds
- The Pneumatic Automation Link (PAL) electro-pneumatic system can contain both electrical I/O as well as a solenoid valve bank. A single assembly can combine solenoid valves of various types, digital or analog I/O, and common power sources for all control components.
- Single valve or multiple manifold mounted valve applications
- A wide variety of manifolds, control interfaces, and accessories are available
Vacuum Products

- Couplers to connect operators to air system
- End-of-arm tooling components to create an end-of-arm connection to a robot arm
Solenoid Process (Pipeline) Valves
Solenoid process valves work by energizing an electrical coil that causes a valve body to move from one position to another to allow or halt the flow of fluid. Process valves are available with glass filled nylon or brass bodies, Viton seals, and brass or stainless operators.
- 2 and 3-way poppet style valves
- 2-way diaphragm style valves
- 1/8" to 1" FNPT ports
- Selection of solenoid coil voltages available
- Media separated version ensures the working components (metal) of the valve do not come into contact with the working fluid.
Solenoid Valve Cables and Connectors (Square DIN Style)
High quality, square DIN style connectors and over-molded solenoid cables dramatically reduce wiring time.
- 8mm, 9.4mm, 10mm, 11mm and 18mm DIN 43650 sizes
- 24 VAC/VDC, 110 VAC/VDC and 230 VAC/VDC

- Miniature pin plug cables
Air Pilot Valves
Directional control air valves are body ported 3-port (3-way) or 5-port (4-way) spool valves used where air pressure control is preferred over electrical control. These valves are preferred over solenoid valves in applications where flammable materials exist (no risk of electrical sparks), where more torque is required, and where reliable operation in high temperature environments is needed.
- 1/8" to 1/2" NPT ports
- 2-position and 3-position models
- Single valve or multiple manifold mounted valve applications
Manual Air Valves
Manually operated air valves are ideal for non-electrical operator controlled applications.

- Cone and flat style bronze exhaust silencers
- Cylindrical plastic silencers
Pneumatic Air Cylinders
Pneumatic cylinders use compressed air acting on a piston with rod inside a cylinder to move a load along a linear path. Both single acting (single air port for actuation with spring return) and double acting (dual air ports for both actuation and return) cylinders are available with various stroke lengths and bore sizes.
- Non-repairable
- Compact
- NFPA tie rod
- Dual guide rod
- All stainless steel non-repairable
- ISO 15552
- Compact extruded
Rodless Air Cylinders
Rodless cylinders perform the same function as rodded cylinders but instead of pushing/pulling a load with a rod attached to a piston, the load is carried alongside the piston and does not require the space needed to extend/retract a rod.
- Double-acting
- Stroke lengths up to 1000mm
Rotary Actuators & Grippers
Pneumatic rotary actuators and grippers are used to accurately clamp and position parts or tooling.
Rotary actuators are available in four body sizes, with or without shock absorbers.
