November 2009
Greetings!  
 
This month, PHD is pleased to feature our Series SxL & SxH Slides. These compact models are ideal for your low-profile, short to medium travel automation applications. High side-load capacity and robust design are just a couple of the benefits these units provide.
 
Our November Application Highlight centers on fixturing for welded assemblies. PHD offers a wide variety of actuators for this popular manufacturing process.
 
Finally, again this month, PHD has published many new animations featuring our Series SxL & SxH Slides on our learn site. We hope you enjoy this Spotlight on PHD. 
 
To your continued success!

Robust, Compact Cantilevered Slides
Series SxL & SxH pneumatic Slides 
 
Two different bearing options within these series provide cost efficient solutions for a wide range of applications. The engineered polymer bearings of the Series SxL offer medium precision and load capabilities while the TC composite bearings of the Series SxH provide a higher degree of precision with maximum load capacity.

SxL & SxH Product GroupingBoth models include as standard, internal shock pads for extend and external shock pads for retract, reducing noise and minimizing end-of-travel impact forces. 
Available in nine sizes with travels from ½ inch to 8 inches accommodating most any compact application.

New! 40, 50 and 63mm sizes are now available. Take a look at our online product specifications for more detailed information.
 
Series SxL & SxH Slides are the high value fit for your compact linear actuator needs.
Application Highlight
Fixturing for Welding?  PHD can help!
 
Industries are gearing up their welding processes today like never before. PHD has several product lines that provide fixture solutions for extremely diverse welded assemblies.
 
If you're welding frames for anything from golf carts or snowmobiles to garden tractors or bicycles, then take a look at some of PHD's pneumatically or electrically powered clamp products to automate or simplify the task.
 
Welding AssemblyPHD has enjoyed success in many applications where "arm over" style clamps have been used to constrain parts during welding processes. Our Series PEC Clamps are just right for this kind of motion. Other fixtures may be better suited to the "swing arm" style. Here PHD offers Series PA, PB, or PC Clamps. Many of these clamp products feature options such as weld covers or material construction to protect from or minimize contamination from weld slag and splatter.
 
PHD also offers a couple of series of the newer style of "pin clamps." The Series PLC and PLKD clamps take advantage of concentric hole assemblies and eliminate arms or other clamp tooling from interfering within the work envelope.
 
No matter how small or large your welded assemblies are, PHD likely has a size that can hold the work securely while the welding takes place.
 
Let us help you take on the challenge of your next welding automation project. Give us a look for the best clamps in the business!
New Simulations for November
Series SxL & SxH Slide animations just released!
 
Our latest addition of new simulations spotlights the features of our Series SxL & SxH Slides.
 
 Conveyor Stop Application
 
These interactive simulations quickly explain in-depth capabilities, such as:
  • SxL Vs. SxH Bearing Comparisons
  • SxL & SxH Stroke Adjustment Feature
  • SxL & SxH Vs. Competition Total Travel
  • Application Examples
