We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pneumatic Cylinders",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release More options in magnetic field sensors from
Balluff UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Sensors are encased in aluminium housings, making them highly resistant to mechanical stress".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release System offers high-speed sorting from
SMAC Europe: "SMAC's MCA system runs on high-precision linear guides with static breakaway forces that are 1% that of a pneumatic air cylinder".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Hoerbiger-Origa
concerning its Origa OSPP rodless pneumatic cylinders
- take a look at Pneumatic cylinders handle large temperature range
which says: "Automatic temperature compensation is provided to the inner band of the seal so that it adjusts for thermal expansion and contraction, while maintaining an airtight seal".
Take a look also at the news release from Hoerbiger-Origa, Pneumatic cylinder repair service upgraded,
as well as Pneumatic products improve vehicle washing from Parker Hannifin,
and Linear actuator covers multiple positions from Alpha Gear Drives.
