Bimba Launches Versatile PA Series Actuator at a Competitive Price

PA Series actuators offer a highly consistent and reliable way to convert pneumatic energy into linear force and motion.

The PA Series NFPA actuator provides a versatile, cost-effective solution to a variety of applications. Its lightweight aluminum construction and modern extruded design are only matched by its flexible mounting configurations and a number of standard features. PA Series actuators offer a highly consistent and reliable way to convert pneumatic energy into linear force and motion.

The PA Series is designed to meet the same requirements as typical NFPA actuators but includes features such as die-cast aluminum endcaps, extruded aluminum housing, and polymer pistons.
Standard options like auto-cushioning and magnetic pistons allow the PA Series simple installation and operation, reducing complexity and promoting longer machine life. A variety of custom options are available to make the PA Series the perfect fit within your most challenging applications.
"The PA series is a great complement to our current line of NFPA actuators," says Sheila Campbell, Product Manager. "By offering set bore sizes and rod diameters, the PA series delivers simple, straightforward pneumatic actuators as a counterpoint to the highly configurable TA series, all at a competitive price."
Benefits:
 Reduce complexity with standard universal mount and bolt-on NFPA selection
 Flexibility with integral switch mounting grooves on three sides of profile tube
 Modern appearance with smooth end caps contoured to profile tube for easy cleaning
 Auto-cushioning for a "fit-and-forget" solution

Technical Features:
 Operating Pressure: 250 PSIG
 Bore Sizes: 1.50", 2.00", 2.50", 3.25", 4.00"
 Strokes: 0.125" - 100"

The ERT150 - Dorner’s Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
