Pistons
Near instantaneous and exceptional force to drive a piston delivered by short consistent pulses of high-pressure air or gas.
Compact & powerful
Compact, robust, efficient piston systems, delivering fast and powerful force actuation, which use residual pressure from the drive stroke to return the piston.
Piston benefits
| Power | High, tuneable power output |
| Efficiency | High enthalpic efficiency – requiring less energy in for more energy out |
| Speed & precision | Millisecond response and actuation with microsecond consistency |
| Weight & size | Compact, high portability |
| Safety | Non-sparking, non-combustible, and non-overheating |
| Robustness | Handles challenging environments, and high/low temperatures |
| Lifetime cost | Durability reduces maintenance and replacement costs |
