Pneumatic Cylinders and Actuators

Pneumatic Air Cylinders and Linear Actuator Solutions

Pneumatic cylinders convert compressed air into linear motion. They are a type of actuator that uses compressed air to move objects, and can be critical components of a future-proofed automated manufacturing process. While pneumatic cylinders are typically found in industrial applications, they are also heavily used in industrial robotics and manufacturing automation applications. That’s where Cross Company Automation comes in.

We can help solve your pneumatic air cylinder and actuator application with NFPA, ISO, round body, compact, rodless, slides, and custom products. We work directly with all of our customers to develop pneumatic and automation solutions that work for their industry, workers, and processes. And we can do the same for you.

Whether you’re looking for single-acting, double-acting, or any sort of custom design, Cross can help. We’ve worked with countless operations across dozens of industries. And we’re ready and able to work with your operation to ensure you’re getting the most out of your production process.

Capturing Air Pressure For Automation Applications

Pneumatic actuators use compressed air to operate. This means it doesn’t require a motor thus brings in no potential contaminants or other unwanted (or hazardous) materials. The lack of motors also makes them ideal picks for environments with explosion hazards or other environmental safety concerns.

Making the most of air pressure for your industrial automation has many benefits. Utilizing air cylinders or pneumatic actuators for your production process also have the capacity to both increase throughput and improve worker safety. And in an increasingly competitive marketplace, these factors can provide operations with the competitive advantage they need to outperform competition.

When you choose to work with Cross Company for your pneumatic automation equipment, you’re getting more than just components. We’ll work directly with you to ensure that you’re getting the equipment you need to perform at the level you want.

Benefits of Cross Pneumatic Actuators and Cylinders

Pneumatic actuators and cylinders are a simple and easily-integrated means of achieving force and generating precise linear or rotary motion. They can be used in a variety of extreme environments (for example, in challenging or hazardous temperatures). They are lightweight, customizable, and require little maintenance.

Simple Integration

It’s important for automation components to be integratable into existing systems. Otherwise, you’re having to start completely from scratch. That’s why our pneumatic cylinders and actuators are designed to be integrated.

Precise Motion

For many production processes, precise motion control is a necessity. With pneumatic actuators and cylinders, you’re able to get that exact motion control that your process needs without having to completely redesign systems.

Customizable

No two production processes are alike. The needs of an automotive OEM are very different from a commercial manufacturing operation. That’s why we offer customizable pneumatic cylinders and actuators. So you get the part you need.

Custom Designs With Quick Turnaround Times

Pneumatic cylinders and linear actuators are used in a wide variety of applications across many industries. This includes

Robotic arms
Conveyor belts
Packaging
Material handling
Manufacturing machinery
Construction equipment
Medical equipment
Agricultural equipment
And many others

While pneumatic cylinders and actuators are necessary for many automated systems, you need to actually be able to get them in order to take advantage of them. That’s why we maintain a variety of supplier partnerships: so we can provide quick turnaround times to all of our customers.

Whether you have legacy pneumatic systems, you’re facing long lead times for desired products, or need components to fit within set standards, you’ve come to the right place. Cross has worked with a wide range of repeat machine manufacturers, OEMs, commercial operations, and many others. And we’ve always aimed to provide outstanding service, industry-leading expertise, and world-class customer support.
