【Vol.97】Lube-keeper is the decisive factor for long life! CKD’s mystery

CKD products come with questions like, "What does it mean?" or “What does that do?” Let me introduce you to one of the mysteries of the "Lube-Keeping Structure."

【Vol.96】When you think it's a breakdown

Fluid control components can be used in various applications. Among these, some customers have been using solenoid valves for more than ten years.

【Vol.95】Which actuator should be used, air or electric?

There are similar products between pneumatic and electric actuators. How does one decide to use pneumatic or electric actuators?

【Vol.94】How to discharge drain

Air contains water vapors (gas). The amount of water vapor that can exist in a given volume of air is limited by the temperature.

【Vol.93】Reusing exhaust air

In the pneumatic circuit, FRL is used to clean the compressed air before use for stable operation and preventing deterioration and failure. In fact, the exhaust air also contains dust, dirt, and oil mist, not to mention the generation of exhaust noise.

【Vol.92】Proportional solenoid valves active in various industries

Flow control is required in various industries such as machinery, automobiles, precision components, advanced fields such as semiconductors, biotechnology, medical care, and food industries.

【Vol.91】Stop the dripping

Coolant fluids are indispensable for machine tools such as machining centers and lathes. However

【Vol.90】The SELEX Cylinder SCA2 Series that flexibly conforms to your needs.

We have several series called "SELEX". Have you ever wondered why they are called "SELEX"?

【Vol.89】Eliminate difficulties in design and adjustments

Buffer mechanisms are used for conveying and assembling chips, small circuit boards, etc.

【Vol.88】Quick exhaust counters condensation

When a room is warm, but the outside is very cold, condensation occurs due to the temperature difference. At home, a lot of condensation occurs on the window, causing molds to grow.

【Vol.87】Standard valves for Chemical liquids

There are many kinds of fluids. The CKD fluid control device has valves that can be used for chemical liquids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid, as well as water, steam, and vacuum.

【Vol.86】Component-based safety measures

The international standard ISO 13849-1, which specifies the principles and performance required for the machine safety control system, was drastically revised in 2006 and requires evaluation from the category to the performance level (PL).

【Vol.85】Announcing the Release of a Batteryless Absolute Encoder!

In our lineup, we offer the ERL2 / ESD2 and ESSD / ELCR Series electric actuators driven with stepping motors which are very user friendly. However, since an incremental encoder was installed, it was necessary to return to the origin each time the power was turned ON.

【Vol.84】Realizing "Gripping" and "Measuring" with pneumatic hands

This industrial robot plays an active role in various settings such as welding, conveyance, assembly, and inspection processes. You will most likely encounter it often in the near future.

【Vol.83】Dryer for supporting the air in the factory

Moisture is contained in the air. When air is cooled, the moisture condenses to form droplets. These droplets find their way into control circuits, creating malfunctions, and freezing issues during the winter.
