June 2010

Greetings!

For our June edition, we take a closer look at our Series CV Cylinder. This family of high quality ISO / VDMA cylinders was recently re-designed for even greater wear resistance and durability.
 
Unique for over 50 years. If you think your automation problems are unique, then they just might require a Unique Solution from PHD. Cylinders, Rotary Actuators, Slides, Grippers, and more. PHD's ability to customize to your needs is beyond compare.
 
This month, our Electronic Tools spotlight shines on Series GRC Grippers. Features of the GRC are highlighted in several animations along with some new application potentials.
 

To your continued success!

Series CV Cylinders....
 
High Speed Durability !
 
The PHD Series CV Cylinder is simply the most robust and durable ISO / VDMA compliant cylinder available. Recent enhancements in this series include an increased width of the PTFE piston wear ring for substantial gains in support. The wider wear ring also provides for greater piston seal retention.  
 
Available in bore sizes from 20mm to 100mm these cylinders conform to various ISO and VDMA specifications. When equipped with PHD's unique Cushion Option the CV Series are capable of velocities and load capacities that only the most robust actuators can withstand. Here, the CV Series proudly measures up! 
 
CV Cylinder GroupSeries CV Cylinders also include a wide variety of options not found in most competitor's ISO / VDMA lineup. Options such as PHD's built-in meter out Flow Controls, BSPP or NPT ports, corrosion resistant plating, and magnetic pistons for use with PHD's Reed and Solid State Switches provide machine designers with great application flexibility. CV Cylinders can also be provided with PHD's robust Rodlok feature securely locking the actuator in a static position.
 
Take a look at PHD Series CV Cylinders and see the recent enhancements that have made this traditionally robust actuator even better.
