Compact Automation’s offerings for linear pneumatic actuators facilitate precise, controlled linear motion and movement of objects in industrial automation applications. These actuators are an essential component in various applications such as robotic end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), where they support tasks such as gripping, pick and place/material handling, assembly and inspection. Compact Automation’s portfolio includes different types of pneumatic actuator components, each designed for a variety of applications and appropriate for different system functions. Compact’s linear pneumatic actuator products include pneumatic cylinders, mechanical devices powered by compressed air to convert energy into linear or rotary motion. With a simplistic structure consisting of a cylindrical housing, piston and piston rod, air cylinders are simple to install and maintain. The two main types of pneumatic cylinders are single-acting and double acting, differentiated by their actuation mechanism. Compact Automation, compactautomation.com, Booth 4209
