Pneumatics
Everything between the compressor and the motion.
Air is prepared, switched and then turned into motion. Start with the part of the system you are working on: actuators that do the work, valves that control them, or the filters, regulators and dryers that condition the air.

Motion
Actuators that do the work, and the parts that sense and stop them.
How to choose
Start with the motion: a straight push or pull, a guided slide, a long stroke in a short space, a turn or a grip. Then size bore and stroke for the load.
Cylinder Switches & Sensors
Magnetic switches and sensors that detect piston position through the cylinder wall.

Match the mounting to the cylinder's sensor slot or tie rod, then choose the output: reed for simple loads, solid-state PNP or NPN for PLC inputs. Check the cable length or connector.
Shock Absorbers
Industrial shock absorbers that stop moving loads smoothly at the end of travel.
Shop this category →How to choose
Size on the energy per stroke and per hour, from the moving mass and its speed. Check the thread size, the stroke and whether the damping is fixed or adjustable.
Control
Valves that switch and meter the air, and the parts that measure and use it.
Pneumatic Valves & Manifolds
Solenoid and manifold valves, flow controls, check and shut-off valves, mufflers and valve parts.
Shop this category →How to choose
Pick the valve by its job: switching air to an actuator, setting its speed, holding air in one direction or isolating a line.
How to choose
Choose the range so your normal pressure reads in the middle third of the dial, then the dial size, the connection thread and its position (back or bottom), and liquid filling where there is vibration.
Vacuum Components
Vacuum ejectors, suction cups, filters and switches for pick-and-place handling.
Shop this category →How to choose
Size the suction cups on the part weight with a safety factor, then pick an ejector that gives enough vacuum flow for the cups and any leakage at the part surface.
Accessories
Seal kits, mounting brackets, floating joints and other spare parts for cylinders and air-preparation units.
Shop this category →How to choose
Search by the series and bore of the cylinder, or the series of the air-preparation unit, you are servicing: kits and mounts are specific to them.
Air treatment
Clean, dry, regulated air before it reaches the machine.
Filter, Lubricator & Regulator
Filters, regulators, lubricators and combination units.
Shop this category →How to choose
Most machines need a filter and a regulator; add a lubricator only where the components call for oil.
How to choose
Refrigerated dryers handle general plant air; desiccant and membrane dryers reach lower dew points at the point of use.
Chillers & Thermo-Controllers
Recirculating chillers and thermo-controllers that hold process fluid at a set temperature.
Shop this category →How to choose
Size on the heat load to remove and the temperature stability you need, then check the fluid, the flow and pressure of the pump, and the power supply.
