Firestone's Airstroke actuators can be incorporated into a variety of machinery designs

Firestone's Airstroke actuators perform the same type of actuation tasks as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. Long used in the industrial market as pneumatic actuators, they have been incorporated into a variety of machinery designs in an array of industries. The advantages of a flexible-walled pneumatic actuator include: durability; operates well in dirty, corrosive and abrasive industrial environments; accepts angular and lateral misalignment; and a high ratio of stroke-to-collapsed height. Its capabilities make it ideal for friction-free, leak-free, flexible force applications.
