Workholding (Grippers, Twist Cylinders, Collet Closers, Intensifiers)

COMPACT® Grippers are designed for use in industrial applications such as robotics, automated assembly and manipulator/tooling. All units feature self-contained, double-acting COMPACT® actuators. All models feature low unit weight, high output and compact size.

COMPACT® Twist Cylinders are linear motion cylinders with internal cams that provide 90º swing motion. Twist cylinders are ideal swing clamps for automated and semi-automated assembly.

COMPACT® Collet Closers are stationary fixtures for metalworking, bench top assembly, precision robotics and assembly machine applications. With an output gripping force ranging from several pounds to 4 tons, collet closers can also be used for crimping, forming and staking.

COMPACT® Intensifiers are simple boosters that utilize large pneumatic pistons to intensify oil pressure with a smaller piston. All intensifiers are designed to be light weight and space efficient.

Slides (Guided Slides, Ball Slides, Z-Series, GRC)

COMPACT® Slides are designed to outperform conventional non-rotating cylinders. Our slides are designed for short and long stroke. They are perfect for limited space applications where a cylinder is needed that guides and supports its own load. The COMPACT® design of these slides makes them compatible with semiconductor, packaging and assembly applications.

Z-Series Slides provide pinch type tooling plate connection improving rigidity with a sturdy system ideal for precise movement and accurate location.

Materials consist of Standard Hardened Carbon Steel, Hardened Stainless Steel, Ceramic Coated Light Weight Aluminum and Corrosion Resistant Coated Hardened Steel.

Standard guide rods/bushings offer solid performance with linear ball or composite bushing options. Oversized guide rods/bushings provide greatest rigidity with minimal deflection. Our Z-Series slides offer a longer life and repairable design.

COMPACT® Guided Rod Cylinders combine high strength, lightweight extruded bodies and the rigid support of composite or roller ball bearings with the Enersorb® piston that provides an unparalleled guided cylinder product. The Enersorb® piston from COMPACT® provides precise repeatability, smooth operation, high noise reduction and energy absorption all with an extended cycle life and non-lube service. Four base models ranging from 1/2", 3/4" 1-1/4" and 2-1/2" bore sizes with lift forces from 6 to 490 lbs.
