In the rapidly advancing world of high-precision manufacturing, the quest for efficiency, safety, and repeatable accuracy never stops. Whether your facility specializes in plastic injection molding, metal stamping, die casting, or automated assembly, one thing is certain: motion control technology is at the very heart of your success. Among the most transformative innovations in this […]
As the leader in the design and manufacturer of several industry-preferred products, PFA Inc. strives to not only provide innovative solutions to common problems but also exceed our customer’s expectations.
With our strong, compact design, you will often be able to achieve the results of a much larger cylinder at a fraction of the cost and do things you never thought possible with what looks like a standard two port cylinder
For applications that require cylinders with a constant output force or constant air pressure, such that loss of pressure to the cylinder would cause the cylinder to move and potentially cause damage to machinery, it is important to have a product in place to maintain the cylinder position on loss of the air supply.
For employees that work with hydraulic and pneumatic systems, finding adequate locking and braking cylinders is a critical step for eliminating common barriers to securing loads. At PFA, we know that quick replacements should be an easy process whenever your customers need them. We achieve this by providing modular systems where possible, allowing for drop-in […]
