We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pneumatic Cylinders",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release T-slot magnetic field sensors are 'weld-immune' from
Balluff UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Encased in aluminium housing to resist mechanical stress, a range of T-slot magnetic field sensors include weld immune and high temperature versions".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Space saving rodless cylinders from
Bosch Rexroth: "The RTC series rodless cylinders from Bosch Rexroth employ an oval shape that allows for high loads and torques resulting in a space saving design, as opposed to the more common round piston".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Hoerbiger-Origa
concerning its Pneumatic cylinder scribing
- take a look at Less is more on high speed scribing machine
which says: "Hoerbiger-Origa has supplied rodless pneumatic cylinders to Robotix, which has developed an automated production line for scribing traceability serial numbers onto wheel rims".
Take a look also at the news release from Festo, Festo at Total 2007,
as well as Energy to be saved in SKF factories from SKF UK,
and Rodless pneumatic cylinders have ATEX approval from Hoerbiger-Origa.
