| Airstroke/Actuation |
 Airstroke
actuators are
used as a short stroke, high force, single acting pneumatic actuator.
Its unique capabilities make it ideal for friction free, leak free,
flexible force applications.
Traditionally, fluid power cylinders
have the general geometric shape of the dictionary definition. In
function, however, it is not necessary that an axial force or motion
generator be cylindrical.
Firestone Airstroke® actuators have long
been used in the industrial market as pneumatic actuators incorporated
into new and innovative machinery designs as well as replacement actuators
for existing applications that had previously used traditional pneumatic
or hydraulic cylinders. Call today to learn about the
advantages
of Firestone Airstroke® actuators over traditional cylinders. |

| Isolation
Product Descriptions |
Airmount
isolators
 are
used to support and isolate external vibrations, or support a vibrating
load and prevent its energy from disturbing the surroundings. |
Marsh Mellow springs
  are
used like the Airmount isolator as vibration isolators. However, they do
not require air inflation. While not as efficient as air springs, Marsh
Mellow springs are an effective passive isolator with superior
characteristics to steel springs. |

| AirPicker/AirGripper |
 The
end effectors
offer the user a wide range of advantages over traditional pick and place
work holding devices. Simply by varying the air pressure in the picker or
gripper, the user can conform the end effector to the diameter that is
being handled and the force being applied to the workpiece. This is
especially critical in applications with sensitive, thin-walled, or
fragile objects.
The object being picked up does not have to
have a circular configuration. Since it has an elastomer bladder
construction, it will conform to any shape. |
