Because Accuracy Matters. Industrialist Arthur Cohen needed a durable, reliable, low-friction dashpot to meet the demanding accuracy and performance requirements of a unique line of electromechanical voltage regulators of his own design, and sold under the Regohm brand. In the early 1950s, no dashpot on the market met Mr. Cohen’s needs, so he designed one himself. By 1954, Mr. Cohen was successfully manufacturing and marketing not only voltage regulators, but also the Airpot Precision Air Damping Dashpot, the world’s first commercially available, instrument-quality air damping device. In...

Airpot products have a long history success for accurate positioning, force ontrol, and clamping in the processing and testing of semiconductor wafers and IC components. Dashpots and Shock Absorbers Airpot dashpots and snubbers are specifically designed for unparalleled damping and energy dissipation accuracy by eliminating friction from their working elements to provide accurate control of motion, force, and impact. Pneumatic Actuators Airpot offers four product families in our line of customizable pneumatic actuators to meet design specifications with respect to level of friction,...

Dashpots and Shock Absorbers Airpot’s pneumatic damping products are specifically designed to provide unparalleled damping and energy dissipation accuracy by eliminating friction from their working elements. Our dashpots and snubbers both feature built-in lubricity; high strength-to-weight ratio; excellent stability under temperature/humidity extremes; close coefficients of thermal expansion; and non-deteriorating performance due to age or non-use. Using a piston to force ambient air through an orifice at a controlled rate to dissipate kinetic energy, these devices provide accurate control...

Position Sensor Magnet and Track and Giant Magneto Resistive Sensors For customers desiring electrical output of piston position, Airpot offers position sensor magnet and track products. These are an easy-to-install, secure, and reliable solution that utilizes high-strength, light weight switchactivating magnets on the pistons and one or more optional aluminum tracks attached to the cylinder. The tracks are specially designed for use with our customizable line of Airpel® non-stiction cylinders. They provide an easy, versatile, and secure mounting of giant magneto resistive (GMR) sensors....

Displacement Products With their unparalleled low friction and response to forces as low as only a few grams and pressures less than 0.2 psi, our self-aligning pneumatic actuators and piston/cylinder sets are the basic building blocks for any design involving pneumatic actuation or displacement. Constructed using a graphite piston/ borosilicate glass cylinder combination, our displacement products provide almost identical starting and running friction, which prevents jerky, uncontrolled starts, and allows uniform smoothness throughout the full stroke of the device. Innovative designers use...
