The Position Feedback Cylinder (PFLF) is the combination of the standard heavy duty TA Series cylinder construction with a low cost, linear resistive transducer.

This complete system is an electronic controller with pneumatic valves that can accurately position the cylinder piston rod, and hold it in position with a high degree of accuracy and force.

Oil-Fog Lubricators VS Micro-Fog Lubricators

An Oil-Fog Lubricator is designed so that all droplets of oil seen in the sight feed dome go directly into the air flow stream. These are relatively large oil droplets and are generally suitable for heavy lubrication applications such as air motors or air tools. Over time, however, oil builds up in the lines, and air exhaust becomes messy.

Micro-Fog Lubricators, on the other hand, atomize the oil droplets seen in the sight feed dome. The atomized oil is then suspended above the oil in the lubricator bowl, and is drawn from the reservoir through an orifice. As a result, only about 10% of the oil seen in the sight dome passes downstream. Because the oil is atomized, it can travel long distances. For this reason, micro fog lubricators are best suited for most compressed air circuits using multiple valves and cylinders.
