Webinar Will Explore Load Management and Deflection Mitigation in High-Speed Applications

Standard pneumatic cylinders are typically an effective and efficient means of providing linear motion for industrial applications from parts handling to high-speed pressing. However, there are circumstances in which pneumatic cylinders may not perform as intended, particularly those that involve side or torsional loads acting on the piston rod. In fact, failure to address side loads and deflections can stress a cylinder’s parts, resulting in damage or reduced lifetime.

The best approach to managing these loads in various applications is to select the right components for the job. That means understanding proper pneumatic component design along with the key specifications to consider during product selection.

To help with your pneumatic component selection, Fabco-Air and Machine Design will present a new webinar, “Load Management and Deflection Mitigation in Pneumatic Applications.” In this webinar, David Pasznik, a channel manager at Fabco-Air, will provide an overview of the important considerations and design specifications to remember when selecting pneumatic cylinders, linear slides and thrusters for your application. David will draw from his more than 30 years in various roles in the pneumatic product industry.

Whether you are working on a project or application that will require a cylinder, linear slide or thruster, or if you would like to enhance your knowledge of side loads and deflections, be sure to watch this webinar on Wednesday, March 23, 2022 at 2 p.m. Eastern. You can register for the event here. With a good understanding of the right load management concepts, you’ll be able to find the right pneumatic component to meet your performance and reliability requirements.
