A new dome in every sense of the word, with over ten years experience of putting their four piston actuator inside a dome enclosure the decision was taken in 2006 to design a unit which could satisfy more fully the enclosure requirements and yet still remain competitive as a stand alone product.
The result is a very compact actuator of simple and reliable design capable of interfacing with a wide range of ancillaries and with the added bonus of being easily modified to meet the requirements of those companies who have specialized needs.

The first size of body is machined from a billet of aluminium alloy in less than ten minutes and comprises the most expensive component in the assembly of just four major parts.
A line of thrust straight through the centre of the body ensures equal distribution of the loads generated by compressed air. Whilst springs can be arranged to give balanced forces in no less than six combinations.
Inside the dome a range of ancillaries include sensors, switches, solenoids, controllers, potentiometers, and other pneumatic and electronic controls.
The dome cover is available in polished or brush finished stainless steel and the lower cost aluminium alloy cover is available polished with either clear or coloured anodizing.
Supplied only to selected customers for the last eighteen months, this announcement marks their wider release into the UK.
