Pneumatic cylinders are the workhorses of industrial automation. They convert compressed air into linear motion, enabling tasks like clamping, gripping, holding, lifting, pushing, and pulling – tasks inherent to production lines and robotics. When these components go down, it can cause significant impacts on production. Avoid these negative consequences with interchangeable pneumatic cylinders from Festo and simplify machine design and maintenance in your facility. Festo, a major name in motion, offers standardization of popular pneumatic cylinders to national and international standards, simplifying procurement, reducing downtime, and saving time and money. With standardization, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and end users do not need to worry about substitution challenges or supply chain vulnerabilities such as availability, pricing, or an individual manufacturer’s distinctive mounting or design. And, with Festo FASTSM, they are in stock and ready to be shipped out the next day, helping businesses eliminate bottlenecks and the frustrations that come with halted production.
Can-Twist are touted as Canada’s most popular wire connector. Trusted by professional electricians for their quality and reliability, Can-Twists are the best choice for connecting wire and cable from #22 AWG to #8 AWG. Made in Canada, Can-Twist connectors feature springs that grip wire and keep it in place, and are constructed with copolymer material that allows the connector to expand for large wire combinations – up to 3 #10 AWG connectors. With an ergonomic, winged design, Can-Twist are easy to twist, and need only a few turns to achieve torque, so you can use them on large installations with less strain.
