Automotive Pin-Act
The Non-rotating Pin-Act is used in many automotive applications, but primarily as a welding shot pin cylinder. The minimal deflection and high repeatability makes this product ideal for all pin locating applications.
Shaker Cylinder
Compact Shaker systems are pneumatically driven feeder/beltless conveyor systems. These systems are ideal for the stamping industry or other parts transfer and scrap removal applications. As compared to traditional conveyor systems, Compact "shaker" systems save time and money.

TURN-DEX
Turn-Dex is a rotary actuator with an internal unidirectional clutch. The output shaft rotates in one direction only and remains at end of stroke while the actuator is reversed. Turn-Dex is available in two series: the Comp-Act, incorporating the Comp-Act actuator and the Turn-Act, incorporating the Turn-Act actuator.
VAL-U-ACT
Spring Return operators are formed by bolting a spring return unit to a double acting Val-U-Act operator. The return movement is effected by a clock-type spring which is pretensioned to about half the operator torque. The amount of pretention is large, compared to the rotation and therefore the torque does not vary more than 20% over the rotation. Spring returns are factory-installed and adjusted. The spring returns have a worm drive adjustment for setting or changing spring pretension.
By inserting a socket key into one end of the worm the spring pretension can be very easily increased or decreased to suit operating conditions. To increase pretension, turn the worm clockwise; to decrease, turn counterclockwise.
