Rodless pneumatic cylinder

News

Hoerbiger-Origa has introduced a range of intermediate stop modules to compliment its heavy duty, precision guided rodless pneumatic cylinder. Designated the ZSM the module enables precise intermediate positioning of the guide carriage at any desired point along the stroke of the cylinder, using simple pneumatic technology.

The module is a mechanical device that extends and retracts a physical stop, which provides for a high level of accuracy and repeatability. The simple pneumatic operation of which can readily be sequenced using either a PLC (programmable logic controller) or pneumatic logic.

The ZSM allows movement to the next position without the need to initially reverse stroke the piston. (When using retractable mechanical stops with pneumatic actuation, it is typically necessary to momentarily reverse stroke the actuator from the mechanical stop prior to retracting the stop).
