Need high-force linear movement in a tight space? Branham's ULTRIQ™ durable pancake air cylinders offer an innovative solution.
Modern equipment design increasingly demands compact components without sacrificing performance. This is particularly true in pneumatic system design, where space constraints often challenge traditional cylinder configurations.
But what constitutes “compact” depends on your design. Sometimes you need different shapes and smaller sizes, and that’s where Branham’s ULTRIQTM compact pancake cylinders excel.
These round, low profile cylinders address space challenges by delivering powerful linear movement in a low-profile package.
ULTRIQ™ Air Cylinders Fill a Specific Niche
Limited space is a serious challenge. Traditional pneumatic actuators rely on length to produce sufficient stroke length. Pancake actuators take a different approach, using larger bore sizes to achieve high force output with shorter strokes. That gives it a sleek, low profile that fits into tiny, tight spaces without sacrificing performance.
These cylinders produce high torque to drive small, precise linear movements within industrial machinery or end-user products. They are ideally suited for small machinery optimization in applications such as:
- Manufacturing and assembly automation
- Material handling systems
- Packaging equipment
- Conveyors with small gates located in tight spaces
- Robotic systems
- Low-profile clamping mechanisms
- Automotive components
- Electronic manufacturing
- Medical device operation
