Pneumatic guided actuators - Modern Equipment Review - advertisement

Series GC and GS pneumatic guided actuators arc said to be simple and reliable, and for linear motion applications such as pick-and-place, they provide high positioning accuracy, the company says. Actuators feature standard industrial bearings, shock absorbers (GS only), piston magnets and optional sensors; mechanical collars for easy stroke adjustment; and standard hole patterns for simple horizontal or vertical mounting.

The GS Series actuators arc said to provide rigidity and accuracy, and they are designed for pick-and-place applications. The Model GS comes standard with integrated shock absorbers and infinite stroke adjustment. Both models arc available in three sizes: 3/4" bore with 8" stroke, 1 1/16" bore with 12" stroke and 1 1/2" bore with 16" stroke. The precision-machined body and tool plates on the actuators have key slots and a universal mounting hole pattern that is said to provide easy, precise mounting to secondary actuators and equipment.
