I'm using a FESTO DGPIL rodless pneumatic cylinder with guide and integrated displacement encoder, controlled by a MPYE proportional valve and SPC-11 soft-stop controller with two freely selectable intermediate positions on this huge automation (...)

Back then, it was all pneumatic computers and self-sequencing logic, sort (...) (20 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

A slot in the side of the cylinder body permits coupling. The slot is sealed by an (...) (20 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

Caged bearings do have a higher coefficent of friction over non-caged bearings, but the friction is constant (in a normal bearing, the balls come into contact intermitently), the life is extended (...)
