Introducing PHD Optimax™

 

 

 

PHD, Inc. revolutionized pneumatic actuators with the innovative Tom Thumb® Cylinder over 55 years ago. Today, PHD is setting the standard in industrial automation with a new product line that broadens its range of product offerings and provides customers even more choices.


Built on the foundation of long-life products for industrial automation, PHD Optimax™ products are actuators designed to meet machine builders' performance requirements at a competitive price. These economical, efficient, and reliable actuators provide customers with an alternative choice to PHD's standard "built-to-order" product line, delivering even more solutions to meet industrial application needs.

 

To introduce the Optimax product line, PHD proudly presents a pneumatic ISO cylinder and a pneumatic thruster slide.

 

Optimax Series OCV Pneumatic ISO Cylinder

Series OCV is available in three bore sizes and four stroke lengths. These cylinders feature cushion controls to reduce impact at end of stroke. A rod bushing and piston wear ring provide support and smooth cycling. Series OCV Cylinders are designed to be versatile and economical for use in any industry.

 

Optimax Series OSD Pneumatic Thruster Slide

Series OSD is available in three bore sizes and standard travel lengths ranging from 1 in to 10 in. They feature oversized guide shafts to provide maximum rigidity with minimum deflection. Urethane shock pads on extend and retract directions provide vibrational damping and minimize impact forces. Series OSD slides are designed for precision and are ideal for a variety of applications.
