ACCURATE FORCE PNEUMATICS Airpel Plus, explained Where does Airpel Plus fit in? o expand and enhance the Airpel family of accurate force, ultra low-friction air cylinders, we developed the Airpel Plus line. These Airpel models occupy the middle of the price / performance range between our standard Anti-Stiction® Airpel and the Force Without Friction® Airpel-AB.® By combining features and components from these original two designs, we are able to offer a high-performance air cylinder for applications requiring even lower friction than the standard Airpel but at a price well below our...
