Festo introduces the HPPH two-finger pneumatic parallel gripper, a compact, lightweight design that integrates control, ...

Piezo elements are electromechanical transducers that convert mechanical forces (pressure, tensile stress or acceleration) into voltages. The inverse piezoelectric effect, precisely the opposite, ...

Emerson has released the latest stage of its next-generation AVENTICSTM Series XV pneumatic valve systems with new flow rates, configurations, accessories, UL certifications and more. These updates ...

Getting a valve out of a vehicle isn’t too hard – it’s putting the new one in that requires more care. A typical commercial vehicle air braking system requires, at minimum, around a dozen core ...

Equipment designers find that proportional control technology is ideal where precise performance is required in variable pressure or flow applications. Often perceived as more complicated than other ...

Identify the forces that act on closure components and actuators. Describe how these forces work in the positioning of closure components. Prepare equations required to determine an actuator (i.e.

Pneumatic motion control has been on the automation scene for decades and doesn’t appear to be heading for the exit ramp any time soon despite advances in technologies such as electric actuation.
