- Pneumatic Actuators
Pneumatic Actuators are intended to convert pressure energy into motion energy, a process involving the transmission and
dissipation of forces.- Cylinders with Pistons
- Rodless Cylinders
- Semi-Rotary Drives
- Tandem & Multiposition Cylinders
- Stopper Cylinders

Directional Control Valves can be electrically and pneumatically actuated. Their high speed valves offer extremely short switching times and high flow in a compact size with 100 % duty cycle.- Directional Control Valves
- Manually/Mechanically Actuated Valves
- Shut-off, Pressure Control and Flow Control Valves
- Proportional Valves & Proportional Pressure Regulators
- Valve Manifolds
The basic principle of Valve Terminals is by linking electromagnetic valves it is possible to create a valve manifold with a common compressed air supply. All valve terminals and the
electrical CPX terminal are modular configurable products and can be put together individually to meet the customer’s needs.- Standard Valve Terminals
