IMI Precision Engineering has launched a new range of ISO-standard pneumatic cylinders.

The ISOLine is a platform pneumatic actuator range built on IMI Norgren technology.

It offers a ‘fit and forget’ system that simplifies installation, increases service life, and reduces maintenance costs, according to the company.

The range introduces the IMI Norgren Adaptive Cushioning System (ACS), which automatically adjusts the cylinder cushioning for changing loads, so manual cushion screw setting is not required.

It also simplifies the installation process for safer, smoother operation.

Conforming to ISO standard 15552, the product range is up to 20 per cent lighter than previous pneumatic cylinders, according to IMI.

ISOLine also has a lower breakaway pressure and reduced minimum speed.

ISOLine completes the IMI Norgren range of high performance ISO standard cylinders, with a cylinder for any application.
