Actuator Types

Rotary Actuators

Rotary Actuators

Rotary Actuators

Built for dependable rotary motion in industrial automation, these pneumatic actuators combine durable construction, smooth operation, and flexible configuration options to deliver long-lasting performance across a wide range of motion-control applications. Rugged anodized aluminum bodies, optional shock-absorbing configurations, and sensor-ready mounting slots promote long service life and simplified integration.

  • Double-acting rack-and-pinion design provides consistent torque output up to 50 lb·in at 80 psi, enabling reliable performance across varied load conditions
  • Adjustable rotation from 0° to 190° streamlines setup and supports adaptable motion profiles without added hardware
  • Broad operating ranges, 14 to 145 psig pressure and 32°F to 140°F temperature, ensure dependable system behavior in diverse environments.

Rotary actuators start at $383.00

Gripper Actuators

Gripper Actuators

Gripper Actuators

Engineered for versatile, reliable part handling, these pneumatic grippers offer both parallel and angular gripping formats, broad bore-size coverage, and multiple actuation styles to support a wide range of industrial applications. Durable anodized-aluminum bodies, integral sensor-mounting slots, and flexible mounting orientations help streamline integration while delivering long-term performance.

  • Size options from 6 to 40 mm bore accommodate precise handling to higher-force gripping needs
  • Available in double-acting or single-acting configurations with normally open or normally closed operation for application-specific control
  • Parallel jaws support precise, balanced gripping, while angular jaws provide wider initial opening for varied part geometries.
  • Side-mount and end-mount grips provide versatile adaptation to suit diverse automation setups.

Gripper actuators start at $130.00

Compact Air Cylinders

Compact Air Cylinders

Compact Air Cylinders

Compact stainless steel round body cylinders include bore sizes from 9/16" to 3" and stroke lengths from 1/4" to 4" to meet a broad range of compact air cylinder applications where space is a concern. These small cylinders are also sometimes referred to as mini cylinders, mini actuators, flat cylinders or pancake cylinders.

  • Double-acting mini actuator air cylinders
  • Interchangeable with other pneumatic mini cylinder brands (pancake cylinders)
  • Excellent selection of cylinder stroke lengths
  • Type 304 stainless steel cylinder body with high-strength aluminum alloy end caps
  • Made in the USA

Compact pneumatic air cylinders start at $58.00

Heavy duty pneumatic NFPA tie rod cylinders

Heavy duty NFPA tie rod cylinders

Heavy duty pneumatic NFPA tie rod cylinders

This series of heavy duty NFPA cylinders includes bore sizes from 1-1/2" to 4" and stroke lengths from 1" to 32" that meet applications where abusive conditions are a concern.

  • Double-acting cylinders
  • Interchangeable with other common brands of heavy duty cylinders
  • PTFE coated cast iron bushing
  • Solid high alloy aluminum pistons fitted with magnet and PTFE wear band
  • High tensile strength chrome-plated steel piston rods
