Product catalog summary
Introduction to Airpel-AB®
The Airpel-AB® is a new air cylinder featuring Force Without Friction® technology, offering smooth, clean, and long-lasting pneumatic motion. It utilizes a stainless steel piston and borosilicate glass cylinder to create an air bearing effect, minimizing friction and wear.

Key Features
  • Ultra-low friction with a factor of 1000 reduction compared to previous models.
  • Virtually unlimited piston cycle life.
  • No lubrication required, ensuring clean operation.
  • Operates at pressures as low as 5 psi.

Applications
  • Precise tensioning of ultra-fine materials.
  • Positioning mechanisms for delicate materials and optics.
  • Super-sensitive force control for fragile materials.
  • Counterbalancing for vertically positioned linear motor-driven masses.
  • Laboratory test equipment for various measurements.

Specifications
  • Available in Metric models with bore diameters of 9.3 mm to 32.5 mm.
  • Operating temperature range from -20ºC to +90ºC, depending on the model.
  • Single acting, air extend operation with no return spring.
  • Max operating pressure of 100 psi.
  • Requires dry, filtered air with no lubrication.

Customization
Custom strokes and rod lengths are available to meet specific performance and application requirements.
