- Key Products/Technologies
- **Low Friction Air Cylinders (Airpel, Airpel Plus, Airpel-AB)**: A product line featuring virtually eliminated friction through a combination of borosilicate glass cylinders and graphite or special stainless steel pistons. The Airpel-AB, in particular, incorporates "Force Without Friction" air bearing technology, ensuring virtually unlimited piston life and lubrication-free, clean operation. These cylinders are ideal solutions for precise force application, repeatable motive or counterbalancing forces, gentle handling, and uniform motion actuation. Options for piston position sensing, including magnets and GMR sensors, are also available.**Low Friction Air Cylinders (Airpel, Airpel Plus, Airpel-AB)**: A product line featuring virtually eliminated friction through a combination of borosilicate glass cylinders and graphite or special stainless steel pistons.

- **Dashpots and Shock Absorbers**: Devices providing precise air damping for velocity control, vibration suppression, and end-of-stroke shock absorption. Utilizing graphite piston and borosilicate glass cylinder technology, they operate without friction and maintain stable performance across a wide temperature range from -55°C to +150°C. Available in six bore diameters from 5.6mm to 45mm, with various stroke lengths from 13mm to 76mm, and configurations for push, pull, or two-way damping.**Dashpots and Shock Absorbers**: Devices providing precise air damping for velocity control, vibration suppression, and end-of-stroke shock absorption.
