Pneumatic actuation harnesses compressed air to generate mechanical force and motion with inherent compliance, high power density and rapid response. Traditional pneumatic cylinders remain ubiquitous ...

As with nearly any actuation technology in industrial automation applications, there is no shortage of opinions around the use of electric or pneumatic motion control. These predilections tend to get ...

MOTION CONTROL: Thanks to some innovative engineering, Enfield Technologies has reached an important goal - making a complete proportional pneumatic control system much more affordable. A basic ...

To integrate automation into its hydraulic and pneumatic solutions, industrial equipment manufacturer Parker Hannifin ...

How do you build a pneumatic power system? We turned to Festo, an industrial control and automation company that produces pneumatic and electrical control and drive technology for factory or process ...

Any aviation buff is well aware of the Wright Brothers’ role in the history of flight. But it’s likely that many can’t identify the Wright’s seminal contribution: aerodynamic control. When their plane ...

The actuation of cams, detents, and levers has long been the forte of pneumatic or hydraulic systems in machines. These systems are generally open loop. The only verification that the system has ...

Getting a valve out of a vehicle isn’t too hard – it’s putting the new one in that requires more care. A typical commercial vehicle air braking system requires, at minimum, around a dozen core ...
