Pneumatic module lets bus kneel

From Parker Hannifin / Automation / Pneumatic Division

Buses and RVs often feature a kneeling option that lowers the vehicle and eases the task of climbing on and off. But this typically forces the manufacturer to assemble an array of pneumatic valves, connectors, and other components into a customized system.

Products & Services
Air Motors
Air motors are powered by compressed air. They operate at relatively high speeds in industrial and spark-prohibited applications.
Compressed Air Filters
Compressed air filters are used to remove water, oil, oil vapor, dirt, and other contaminants from a compressed air supply.
Compressed Air Dryers
Compressed air dryers utilize technologies such as refrigeration, desiccant adsorption, and membrane filtration to remove contaminants, particularly water, from the air.
Air Cylinders
Air cylinders are pneumatic linear actuators that are driven by a pressure differential in the cylinder's chambers. They may be single-acting (with a spring return) or double-acting.
