IntroductionMEDAN GmbH, established in 1992 and based in Bempflingen, Germany, is a family-owned company specializing in linear
actuators for automating work processes. The company focuses on pneumatic and electric linear technology, emphasizing customer service, short delivery times, and German manufacturing quality.
Specifications and Technical DataThe document details various series of pneumatic drives, including PL, PLF, DUO 96, PLG, PLK, PLR, and PLS. Each series features unique attributes such as force transmission, cushioning, and design flexibility. Specifications cover stroke lengths, air connections, mounting options, and materials like anodized aluminum and stainless steel.
Advantages of Pneumatic TechnologyPneumatic drives offer adjustable forces and speeds, high operating speeds, and can be overloaded without damage. They are environmentally friendly, centralizing waste heat at the compressor and suitable for EX areas (Atex).
Construction and ApplicationsThe construction section describes
cylinder components, including inner and outer bands, cylinder head, and piston. Applications span horizontal, vertical, and diagonal load movements in systems like transport, packaging, and handling.
Product Series OverviewEach product series is highlighted for specific benefits, such as space-saving designs, long strokes, and high acceleration capabilities. The PL series, for instance, offers direct force connection, optional magnets, and extreme stroke lengths.
Quality and ServiceMEDAN ensures quality through in-house production and a "Made in Germany" seal, offering a favorable price-performance ratio, low overhead costs, and reliable delivery. Continuous improvement and proven components ensure product reliability.
