We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rodless Cylinder",
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 Rodless cylinder improves packaging reliability from
Hoerbiger-Origa, which we summarised at the time by saying "Adpak went with a 40mm bore Hoerbiger Origa OSP-P rodless cylinder, fitted with Slideline guide and integrated VOE 3/2 poppet valves".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Pneumatic cylinder repair service upgraded from
Hoerbiger-Origa: "Part of the management of Hoerbiger-Origa's service and repair function is to offer five levels of support, so that customers can have the most appropriate response".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Tol-O-Matic
concerning its MX rodless band cylinder
- take a look at Rodless cylinder offers long life
which says: "The MX rodless band cylinder delivers superior performance to meet the most demanding applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Hoerbiger-Origa, Rodless cylinder holds wheels steady,
as well as Linear progression from Hoerbiger-Origa,
and Cylinder takes position for precision welding from Hoerbiger-Origa.
