• Pneumatic or servo?
  , or direct-drive linear systems. Many times the amount of force required for movement may lead the engineer to think a pneumatic actuator is the only possibility. Yet, electric actuators are quite capable of exerting as much force as a pneumatic cylinder. For example, electric cylinders from range from...
• Servocontrol with pneumatic actuators
  is indeed the bugbear of motion-control mythology. It's difficult to place absolute values on the performance of the pneumatic servo, as the operation of any closed-loop system depends on numerous factors outside the actuator such as friction, inertia, and mechanical compliance. With these limits...
• Linear actuators get a servo look
  twice the bandwidth of conventional positioners. It can develop 92-N peak force, capable of accelerating light loads of 20 gm to 6 m/sec. The actuator’s exceptional dynamic stiffness lets the servo be tuned for high loop-gain operation,. The STA11 actuators are optimized for instrumentation applications...
• Better bundles with leadscrews
  Replacing a pneumatic actuator with an intelligent lead-screw system let a company that makes shrink-bundling machinery avoid difficulties when changing product lines. A recent upgrade of the shrink bundler from Omega Design Corp. reduced changeover times and lowered maintenance demands...
• Sweet Motion Solution
  Process Technologies (BLT) developed a servo-driven depositor instead of using the more traditional pneumatic cylinders. Wittenstein Moves with Sweet Motion. Documents/Downloads.

• Servopneumatics speed beverage packaging
  in existing equipment takes a matter of hours and the system operates on shop air. All components are rugged and withstand washdown. The pneumatic cylinder has a rod cover and scraper to prevent internal contamination. A key component in the rejection-actuator system is a new high-bandwidth Model 27C...
• May the force loop be with you
  controlled force. Controller force is usually applied by an actuator or thruster. There are several choices including hydraulic, pneumatic, rotary screw, or rotary belt thrusters. Tubular linear motors are an attractive alternative. They use a shaft with integral bearings that slides into a stator...
• Motion Gets Smarter With Integrated Actuators
  of independent, single-axis machine functions is an ideal candidate for distributed motion. Traditional hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder applications are inherently standalone, single axis, and provide point-to-point motion. In replacing fluid power solutions with electric linear actuators, coordinated...
• Pressure Valves
  Valves are essential elements for controlling fluid system performance. Virtually every fluid-power system requires some type of valve. In a hydraulic system, valves may control pressure, flow to an actuator, or quantity of flow permitted past a given point. Pneumatic valves are similar in design...
• Application Note: Comparative Motor Technologies
  pressure and flow rate through the actuator. The greater the pressure, the greater the torque; the greater the flow, the higher the speed. While pneumatic pressures are commonly less than 150 pounds per square inch, increasing the bore of the cylinder or the displacement of the turbine can increase...
