【Vol.82】CKD Supporting Rechargeable Battery Manufacturing

“Rechargeable batteries” are used not only in home appliances such as mobile phones and digital cameras, but also in automobiles. They are an essential part of our lifestyle.

【Vol.81】No tanks required. Easily produce nitrogen gas.

Nitrogen is used in various applications.In the liquid state, nitrogen is used for cryopreservation and treatment of explosives.

【Vol.80】Attain more data through IO-Link compatibility

There are various communication systems and communication compatible products available for Smart Factories. Although CKD's directional control valves and sensors support various communications such as CC-Link and EtherNet, we will take this opportunity to introduce to you the IO-Link system.

【Vol.79】Notification of Element Replacement! Oil Mist Filter

Are filter elements regularly replaced? Regular replacement will maintain the cleanliness of the air and prevent the equipment from deteriorating or malfunctioning.

【Vol.78】Great points of Electric Actuators!

Pneumatic cylinders and electric actuators are both linear drive devices, but what is the difference? I will show you why electric actuators are popular.

【Vol.77】Vibration resistant cylinder switch.

Answering the prayers of those who want to rid of unexplained stops, is our cylinder switch. One of the causes for unexplained stops is due to the switch moving from equipment vibrations. The deviation causes the switch not to be detected and the equipment stops.

【Vol.76】Constant applied pressure.A Buffer unit that replaces spring buffers.

In most cases, the conveyance of small parts and substrates such as ICs and capacitors are done with adsorption units. Those using spring buffers need to have a look at our buffer unit with constant damping pressure and low dust generation.

【Vol.75】Completely exhaust residual pressure.The first step to securing a safe workplace.

When conducting maintenance to machinery, it is necessary to fully remove any air pressure (residual) inside. Even if you remember to stop the pressure supply to the machine or its operation, there are many cases where workers forget to remove the residual pressure still in the equipment.

【Vol.74】Eliminate your hydraulic problems!

Hydraulics are used in equipment that utilizes large forces. However, as many factories also incorporate pneumatic components, most places are using both hydraulic and pneumatic sources.

【Vol.73】The Space-Saving Miracle Worker

When installing a cylinder, since the rod moves ample space is required to install a directional switching valve. But what do you do if there is not enough space?

【Vol.72】Guards against the impact arising from pressure changes!

Have you ever heard of the term “water hammer”?

【Vol.71】Reverse Regulator - flow direction can be reversed!

A regulator is a valve that makes pressures constant so that compressed air pressures can be stabilized. When using balancers, etc., the standard regulator cannot exhaust all of the secondary side pressure.

【Vol.70】Beware of Leaks

There are various types of leakages such as water, air and electricity. Here, we will discuss the “leakage” of fluid control equipment.

【Vol.69】I, O, R of the Roller Gear Cam Unit

CKD’s Roller Gear Cam Units are available in standard, basic, compact, table, wide angle, small multi-division, flat type and many other kinds. Did you know that we also have “Index”, “Oscillate” and “Reducer” for each type as well?

【Vol.68】Renewal for the first time in 10 years

Since the release of the small flow sensor FSM2 series in 2007, it has been used by many customers.
