Pneumatic Dampers (or shocks) provide speed and motion control using gas damping in extension, compression, or both directions. Pneumatic dampers are often used in low force applications where low friction and temperature stability (relatively insensitive to temperature changes) are critical.
In addition to our bespoke pneumatic damper products, Industrial Gas Springs Limited is the official distributor for Airpot in the United Kingdom.
Airpot Corporation is the world's leading manufacturer of ultra-low friction, super-responsive pneumatic piston and cylinder motion dampers and actuators. Their unique seal-less construction and combination of materials allow high cycle rates without lubricants, smooth operation at extreme temperatures, and instrument quality performance for low to medium force and energy levels.
Common applications include:
- semiconductor and IC processing equipment
- web/wire/filament tension controls
- test and measurement instruments
- automated medical analyzers
- dispensing and vending machines
- high capacity mail and cash handling equipment
- customized uses for our pistons and cylinders
