We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rodless 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 Pneumatic cylinders handle large temperature range from
Hoerbiger-Origa, which we summarised at the time by saying "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".
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 December 2006, we covered the news from Hoerbiger-Origa
concerning its Rodless pneumatic cylinders
- take a look at Pneumatic cylinders receive dust certification
which says: "ATEX dust certification has been achieved by Hoerbiger-Origa rodless pneumatic cylinders, the first such actuators to have this now-critical approval".
Take a look also at the news release from Hoerbiger-Origa, Rodless cylinders add push to conveyor systems,
as well as Pneumatic cylinders return for curtain call from Hoerbiger-Origa,
and Belt drive actuator upgrades to larger loads from Tol-O-Matic.
