Hanover-based ContiTech, a division of Continental, has added the D-type series to its actuator product range, designed to simplify and speed up replacement of every single component up to the rubber bellows. Made of aluminium
The aluminium connecting plates for the D-type series come in diameters of up to 175 mm. This is the standard material in many pneumatic products and is now available in the ContiTech air actuators as well.
The actuator is available in eight different sizes, each of which is available as a one, two or three-convolution bellows and has dimensions of 80 mm/type 22 up to 435 mm/type 816. Without a piston rod, strokes of more than 400 mm are possible. The feasible lifting force range extends from 0.5-80 kN.
Applications of the D-types are power collectors in trains (pantographs) and paper machines and also to complement tried-and-tested air actuators with firmly attached connecting parts (C-series), air actuators with bead ring connecting parts (R-series) and rolling lobe actuators with plastic connecting parts (S-series).
