New ISO Standard for Air Valves

From Parker Hannifin / Automation / Actuators

As industry transitions from a regional to a global perspective, air valve customers are starting to look for products that meet standards supported throughout the world. ISO standards for both pneumatic and hydraulic valves as well as cylinders have existed for years. While hydraulic valves are rarely proprietary, most valve

Products & Services
Air Motors
Air motors are powered by compressed air. They operate at relatively high speeds in industrial and spark-prohibited applications.
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.
