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.
