Airpel Plus air cylinder actuators from Airpot give engineers the ability to control ultra-precise movements, including high speeds and extremely short travel distances with clean, long-life pneumatic devices.



Airpot Corp. (Norwalk, CT) announces the Airpel Plus, their newest line of high performance, low friction air cylinder actuators. The benefit engineers derive from the low friction levels the Airpel Plus exhibits is an enhanced ability to control ultra-precise movements, including high speeds and extremely short travel distances with clean, long-life pneumatic devices. Features include:

  • Borosilicate glass cylinder and graphite piston technology.
  • Friction levels of approximately 0.5% of load.
  • An operating temperature range of -55º - 150ºC.
  • Available in 4 standard configurations as single acting extension models with identical metric sizes, threads, mounts, and strokes as the Airpel- AB.
  • Bore diameter choices of 9, 16, 24, and 32 mm.
  • Double acting configurations available.
