Airpot Corp. announces the Airpel Plus, their newest line of high performance, low-friction air cylinder actuators that feature an enhanced ability to control ultra-precise movements, including high speeds and extremely short travel distances. Airpel Plus maximum friction levels are approximately 0.5% of load and the operating temperature range is -55° to 150° C. Airpel Plus models are available in four 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 are offered. Double-acting configurations are available upon request.
