Unlike most pneumatic positioning systems on the market, which control the position of the actuator with directional flow, AVENTICS utilizes our expertise in direct acting proportional pressure regulators. This principle of operation can be applied equally well in both piston rod and rodless pneumatic cylinders in a considerable range of bore sizes and strokes.

Features and Benefits:

• System offered in a variety of actuators, both Piston Rod and Rodless cylinders

• Externally mounted sensor eliminates the need for gun drilled piston rod

• Proportional pressure control - not flow control

• AVENTICS utilizes our expertise in direct acting proportional pressure regulation

• Simple analog command for stroke set-point

• 0-10Vdc & 4-20mA standard

• 100% duty cycle (No worries about cycle rate and overheating)

Direct Acting Proportional Pressure Regulators

• Electro-Pneumatic pressure regulators are an essential interface between controller and actuator positioning

• Constant pressure regulation eliminates drift compared to the use of flow control

• Range of flow from 5scfm - 92 scfm

• Analog command and feedback 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA

• Plug and Play (no E/P adjustment required)

• Resolution = 10 bit

• 50 micron max. particle size

Wide variety of standard cylinder choices for EPPS

• ISO 15552 PRA (profile) and TRB (tie rod) cylinders

• 32mm to 125mm bore sizes, strokes up to 1007mm for positioning 
- High speed operation, inch and metric versions

• ISO 15552 ITS large bore cylinders - 160mm to 320mm bore sizes, stroke up to 500mm
 - Stainless steel tie rod construction
 - Piston Forces up to 5 tons

• RTC rodless cylinders:
 - 7 bore sizes,16mm – 80mm, stroke lengths up to 6 meters
 - Internally guided version,plus Compact and Heavy Duty rail guided versions
 - Robust oval piston design, optimized for high and low speed operation, with lower leakage than competition

Series SM6 and SM6-AL Cylinder Position Sensors

• Series SM6 for installation in cylinders having 6mm T-Slot -- with measurement lengths up to 10.08” (256mm)

• Series SM6-AL with measurement lengths up to 39.65” (1007mm) for use with ISO 15552 profile cylinders Series PRA

• Repetitive Precision = 0.06% full scale, user-teachable measurement range

• Analog outputs 0-10V and 4-20mA on each sensor

Solutions:

Position Controller

•Single part number for all configurations

•Analog command and feeback 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA

•Easy set-up, field adjustable

•No programming required, 12 bit resolution
