APPLICATION:
Vibration of Parts Tray
A pneumatic cylinder was used to vibrate a parts tray, making it easier for operators to handle and position components in a paint sprayer manufacturing process.

CHALLENGE:
Customer Wanted Higher Speeds While Maintaining Repeatability and Long Life
The manufacturer had been relying on a standard cylinder, which wasn’t designed for the rigorous demands of high-frequency actuation. The customer required a faster, more durable cylinder capable of maintaining long life, repeatability, and reliability in this challenging application, without adding complexity to their existing setup.

SOLUTION:
Custom High-Speed, Long-Life Cylinder
PHD’s Custom Solutions engineers worked closely with the
customer to understand the unique needs of the process. Guided
by our culture of collaboration and never-settle mentality, PHD
engineered a custom high-speed cylinder designed to withstand
higher cycle rates. The solution incorporated shock pads to reduce
wear, extending service life and maintaining repeatability.

RESULTS:
Higher Speed Actuation with Long Life and Repeatability
The PHD custom cylinder provided the manufacturer with measurable improvements:
• Faster actuation for more efficient parts handling
• Repeatable performance across high-speed cycles
• Extended cylinder life with reduced wear
• Simple integration into existing equipment
By leveraging PHD’s mission-focused approach and dedication to customer intimacy, the manufacturer gained a solution that delivered speed and reliability, ensuring their production process could keep up with demand.
