New Position Feedback Cylinders

Allenair, Corp. is introducing the TD Option to their all stainless steel threaded construction pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder line. The TD Option gives you an internal Linear Resistive Transducer (LRT) for extremely accurate piston position sensing. It is ideal for applications where traditional magnetic position sensing is not acceptable.

New EFP MultiPosition and EFQ MultiForce Product Offering
(click thumbnails to expand)

Adding to our EF product family, we are very excited to announce the immediate availability of the Bimba EFP MultiPosition and EFQ MultiForce cylinders. 

The Bimba EFP MultiPosition cylinder is a double acting cylinder designed to provide three (3) rod positions in a single unit. The Bimba EFQ MultiForce cylinder is also a double acting cylinder that DOUBLES the extension force of a unit with the same bore size and stroke without the need to increase pressure. Both cylinders are two piston designs that saves space using the existing EF footprint and eliminating the need for an additional cylinder or larger bore cylinder, respectively.

Features and Advantages

  • Available in all ten (10) standard bore sizes: 12, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100 mm.
  • Order in any stroke(s) to the nearest 1 mm increment.
  • Shares the same popular benefits as the EF Family product line including PTFE impregnated hard anodized body that yields low friction and maximum seal life.
  • Options include internal bumpers, high temperature seals, extra rod extensions, rod thread end options, etc.
  • Options included as standard.
    • Front and Rear Mounting (3)
    • US customary Units (E)
    • Magnetic Position Sensing (M)

Introducing HT Series™, a modular aluminum framing system that features prefabricated mounting holes.


HT Series is SO Easy




Building is easy with this NEW framing system with prefabricated .328 diameter mounting holes, which are evenly spaced at 1.50" intervals along each face of the extrusions. These prefabricated mounting holes can be used for fastening other adjoining structural members, fastening components, or accessories anywhere along the extrusion length- all this modularity without the need for any additional machining.
The key to the HT Series™ fastening method is our Standard Tube Insert. For ease of assembly, this internally threaded insert is placed into the end of the HT Series™ extrusion with the mounting hole in the proper orientation, and secured into place by a spring roll pin or bolt that is inserted through the profile and insert. Align all the HT Series™ components to be fastened and insert a connector bolt through the frame. It's just that quick and easy.

Download an Adobe pdf® format data sheet of the new HT Series Aluminum structural system.


If you've got an interest in aluminum extrusions for machine bases or guards or for any other application where versatility, appearance, durability and quick response are important, Knotts has a new demo that will show you all the options and ideas that 80/20 is famous for. Our Regional Managers can bring this demo right to your desk or conference room. Your ideas deserve the innovation of an 80/20 system.


Designed and built by our 80/20 Product Specialist; Mark Howe

Demo Site and Application Briefs
Omron has updated the "Never-Fail" website with demos of 4 measurement and vision sensors to help you qualify prospects for a live demo or sample. Two "Application Briefs" show how you can solve some difficult detection problems with Omron sensors.
As part of Omron's steady stream of product improvements, CX-One software and high-temperature RFID antenna have been upgraded to be compatible with current and future controller systems.

RoHS compliance continues to be an important environmental and design issue to ensure no hazardous substances are used in the manufacturing of electronic devices. Not all of Omron's products could be redesigned to comply and several sensors are being discontinued with RoHS-compliant replacements recommended.

QB3H - Electronic Pressure Regulator full specs in Adobe® pdf format
  • Pressure ranges from vacuum to 500psig
  • Available in lightweight aluminum or oxygen compatible brass bodies
  • High forward and high relief flows
  • Stainless steel internal pressure sensor for industrial durability
  • Standard with 0-10VDC analog output signal

The QB3H is an electronic pressure regulator capable of operating at high pressures (to 500psig/34.47 bar) and high forward and relief flows (to 50scfm/1416slpm). The QB3H consists of two solenoid valves which add or subtract pressure to the pilot of an integral volume boosting regulator. An internal stainless steel pressure sensor measures the output pressure of the integral regulator and sends this signal to the onboard controller. This controller then modulates the two solenoid valves to match the integral regulator’s output pressure to the user’s requested command signal. All brass body units are oxygen cleaned at the factory.

FEATURES

· High Flow: CC Series couplings deliver top performance with their unrestricted air delivery and are only available from Tuthill. See The Knotts Company for all the details.

· Safe: The CC Series is the safe choice for your employees due to safety venting that prevents hose whip.

· Protection: The CC Series coupling helps prevent scratches on finished product surfaces.

· Lightweight: The design of the CC Series does not noticeably increase the weight of the tool when attached. This helps prevent user strain and fatigue; which increases workplace productivity.

· Flexible: The ability to quickly switch from tool to tool makes the CC Series the ideal solution for the heavy usage air-tool operator. The socket can accept multiple plug configurations, making it extremely flexible.

· Durable: The CC Series is built from some of the toughest materials on the planet. This dynamo is so strong it can withstand the weight of a lift truck running over it. It will continue to perform, without leakage, under the most extreme conditions.
