Product Announcements: Pneumatic Rotary Actuators

Dura-Tac Rotary Actuators can be used for:

• as a rotary escapement
• as a rotary transfer
• for rotary motion
• as an orienting device
• as an air-operated change position device

The unique Rotomation Nitpicker combines an indexing rotary motion with a linear motion in a single pneumatic actuator. The 1" diameter rod will extend and retract and rotate in fixed steps in one direction with no accumulated error. (read more)

Rotomation Multi-Position Rotary Actuators offer a simple, rugged solution to positioning applications. They are available in three, four, and five position configurations in a variety of sizes, and can be commanded to move in any sequence using standard directional control valves. Any combination of angles can be specified, and the clocking of the keyway is also up to the designe... (read more)

The Rotomation A032 Miniature Rotary Actuator packs ten pounds into a five pound sack. It produces nine inch pounds of torque at 80 PSI, has a heat treated 3/8 inch pinion shaft, and sealed ball bearings good for 300 pounds of radial load, all in a package 1.5 X 1.5 X 2.0 inches (2.5" for up to 190 degrees).

The Rotomation AL75 Rotary Actuator has a unique, patented design ideally suited to high speed, high cycle applications. Its low cost and compact footprint open up possibilities for OEMs. The soft start/soft stop action reduces shock and noise. The AL75 is available fully sealed for washdown protection, and can be produced in alternative materials including stainless steel or PET... (read more)

Rotomation Tie Rod Rotary Actuators of 1 to 2 inch bore are the most rugged and versatile actuators available. With their one-piece, heat treated alloy steel pinion shafts, precision ground racks in replaceable bearings, floating pistons, and oversize bearings, these actuators are meant to take a beating.

Rotomation Multi Motion Actuators provide both rotary and linear motion in a single package. The motions are independently controlled and configured for maximum flexibility. This design avoids the need for twisting airlines or manifolds and is ideal for applications where space is limited. (read more)

This miniature rotary actuator can rotate products held by a vacuum cup attached to its shaft. The input vacuum port on the rear remains stationary to eliminate twisting hoses. (read more)

The Rotomation indexing actuator will accurately rotate parts in steps of 12 to 360 degrees in one direction. The new two channel manifold supplies air for a gripper or other fixture, without the need for a union. The versatile Shaft Mounting Adapter is easily customized to attach the user's gripper.

The Rotomation indexing actuator is a unique pneumatic device that reliably provides shaft rotation in precise steps in one direction without cumulative error. For repetitive rotary indexing, it is a low cost substitute for a servo or stepper drive, and is controlled using a simple four way directional control valve. (read more)
