Product Lineup
Cylinders
Double Acting Cylinders
This is Allenair’s largest and most configurable design. Engineered and built to outlast the life of your equipment, the snap ring closure design allows for rebuilding to further extend the life of your cylinder. You can choose a Type A, C, or E cylinder to perfectly fit your application. Allenair’s large range of bore diameters, rod sizes, and mounting configurations combined with high-quality materials is a winning combination.
Small Bore Cylinders
These small bore cylinders come in ½”, ¾”, and 1-1/8” diameter bores up to 14” stroke. They come with brass tubes that are precision honed with a cross-hatch lubricant retaining pattern. The front and rear heads are precision machined and threaded. Seals can easily be replaced if necessary to prolong the life of the cylinder. These can be used for pneumatic and hydraulic pressures up to 150 psi.
Threaded Construction Stainless Steel Cylinders
These threaded construction, all stainless steel cylinders are perfect for the food processing industry and any other wash-down required applications. This crevice-free design ensures that all catch points for contamination have been eliminated. They will stand up to repetitive power and chemical wash downs. These can also be rebuilt to help extend the life of the cylinder.
Single And Double Acting Valve-In-Head® Cylinders
Valve-in-Head® cylinders are unique, compact, self-contained units that combine both cylinder and valve into one complete module. This provides the highest level of performance with the quickest valve and cylinder response time and best-in-class flow. Eliminate possible failure points by reducing the number of fittings and tube connections. These cylinders will save on space, time, and cost. The robust design will keep your machine running, maximizing uptime and profits.
Cyl-Check® Cylinders
When you want the precision control of a hydraulic cylinder, but don’t want to mess with the pump, accumulator, and hoses, consider Cyl-Check® cylinders. These cylinders are unique in combining the flexibility of a pneumatic cylinder with the control of a hydraulic cylinder in one parallel or tandem mount package. These self-contained, maintenance-free hydraulic cylinders provide a full range of flow control, anywhere from 1 in/min up to 600 in/min. This, combined with a standard pneumatic cylinder, provides a plug and play unit that only requires standard pneumatic controls and connections. Add a Stop Check to gain the ability to stop the cylinder dead at any or multiple points along the travel, great as an E-stop. Skip Check allows for rapid movement in areas where precision control isn’t needed, while still providing the dialed-in hydraulic control where it matters most.
Valves
Valves are an important component of many system solutions in several industries, including oil and gas, alternative energy, and pharmaceuticals. A quality valve that you can rely on is essential. Failure is not an option when uptime and performance are crucial. With the large assortment of valves available, we can make sure you get the right valve for your needs.
4-Way Valves
Allenair’s 4-way, 2 position valves are rugged and field proven with the ability to be mounted on any plane. These valves use a precision polished metal on metal slider style seal, which means the seal only gets better over time. This allows for ultra-fast shifting and valve longevity to match the life expectancy of your equipment, often exceeding 10 million cycles. These valves are available with many different operator options, including UL rated explosion proof.
P-Series 3-Way/4-Way Lapped Spool Valves
These P-Series lapped spool valves are 2 position valves in either 3 or 4-way configuration. These valves have a very high cycle rate, which can exceed 2,000 cycles per minute, and have a very high flow rate with a Cv up to 1.5. There are many operator options and they are able to be manifold mounted with common pressure inputs. These are great in any industrial application requiring high cycle rates and long service life.
2-Way/3-Way Direct Acting Solenoid Valves
Allenair’s line of direct acting, 2 position, 2 and 3-way solenoid valves have the quality to keep your equipment up and running for the duration. These valves are available as normally closed, normally open, or multi-purpose. All types can be supplied in various operating pressure ranges and satisfy a wide variety of applications. The valve bodies are offered in hard coated aluminum, brass, or stainless steel. These valves are also offered with many different power supply options and operator styles, including UL rated explosion proof. These valves are great in applications where mounting space is at a premium and performance is critical. The direct action of this valve ensures quick response and long functional life due to the minimum amount of moving components.
