Custom Solutions

We can quickly manufacture a special Pancake cylinder with corrosion-resistant Delrin® construction, food-grade lubricant and a smooth exterior for equipment that must undergo washdowns.

We provide custom, food-friendly versions of many of our popular actuators — like this all-stainless steel Pancake® cylinder — built to withstand harsh environments and washdowns that would ruin normal cylinders.

This four-inch bore by one-inch stroke, double acting cylinder has flats milled on both end caps to achieve precise alignment in medical packaging machinery.

When a customer needed a valve in-head for a quicker response and cleaner package, Fabco-Air created a special design with one hose and fitting instead of three.

Fabco-Air modified this cylinder with ports on its face and rear cap to fit a custom envelope requirement for a mold knock-out application.

Pivot-mount LONGSTROKE cylinder modified as a two-stage Multi-Power® unit.

Fabco-Air created a Multi-Power air cylinder and a linear slide combination that provides adjustable strokes, high power and precision guiding for an automotive application. This custom unit can supply 4,720 pounds of force at 100 psi.

A unique dovetail mount allows the customer to change centers on a resistance welding application.

Fabco-Air solved a customer’s special tooling requirement by machining nests into the body of a twin-bore cylinder to achieve precise alignment.

This booster was modified to allow external switching to prevent crossover from inlet to exhaust when the unit stalls.

Tailor-made for food processing applications, this cylinder is available with 303- and 304-grade stainless steel construction and a food-rated rod wiper.

Outfitted with the Dial-a-Stroke, this allows jaw size to be adjusted on a per-job basis, eliminating the need for special attachments.

To address length restrictions that precluded the use of overhanging guide shafts or double rod construction, Fabco-Air modified a five-inch bore Hi-Power cylinder with a special tool plate and long composite bushings for continuous guide shaft engagement.

Fabco-Air customized a Hi-Power™ cylinder to fit into small parts assembly machinery. The large hole allows mechanical drives and pressure/vacuum lines to pass through to the point of use.

Fabco-Air attaches multiple pistons to a common shaft and provides internal air passages through the shaft to all pistons.

Supply air applied to the extend port energizes all pistons simultaneously, thus multiplying the extend thrust enabling tremendous forces to be obtained.

Unique dovetail mount enables the customer to change centers on a resistance welding application.

Standard SE slide incorporating a rod lock, extended shock absorber and stop collar.

Designed for an application requiring a compact design of two linear pneumatic slides, integrated into a single housing. One of the two slides is actually designed for three position actuation to achieve a truly unique result. All of this was encased in a single, hard anodized body with stainless hardware to enable washdown resistance.

Focusing on an application with a tight footprint, this design incorporates a rod lock directly into the bearing block of the slide. This enabled the precision and side load capabilities of a slide while still fitting in the prescribed envelope.

Manufactured using titanium and 316 stainless steel, this actuator provided dual rotary motion and special coating materials for an application requiring washdown and media compatibility.

This valve pulls 28 inches of water column and holds the vacuum for 24 hours.
