Airtac Pneumatics – a reliable solution for high-efficiency automation

Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Tainan, Taiwan, China, AIRTAC is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of pneumatic components and automation control equipment. After more than 30 years of development, its product range includes pneumatic actuators, treatment components, control components, and supporting pneumatic accessories.

AIRTAC has established a complete industrial chain and global layout in the fields of pneumatic technology R&D, precision manufacturing, system integration, and automation solutions.

With a manufacturing system centered on “Technology + Standards + Automation,” AIRTAC ensures that its products maintain stability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in the global automation equipment market.

Basic Knowledge of Pneumatic Systems

A pneumatic system is an automated system that uses compressed air as a power source and achieves energy transmission and motion control through pneumatic components. Pneumatic systems work collaboratively across different products to complete system tasks. Compared with hydraulic or electric drive systems, pneumatic systems are more flexible, safe, high-frequency, low-cost, and easier to maintain.

AIRTAC pneumatic components cover the entire spectrum of air supply, control, and actuator units. AIRTAC achieves system-level compatibility and optimization. In an overall system, AIRTAC pneumatic products provide the following collaborative advantages:

• Rapid response and high repeatability

• Low energy consumption and smooth operation

• Modular structure for easy maintenance and expansion

• Strong compatibility, compliant with international standard interfaces

• Support for multi-scenario customization and smart control upgrades

AirTAC Cylinders: Precision and Stable Power Core

As one of the most critical actuators in pneumatic systems, AIRTAC cylinders feature high-precision manufacturing, premium materials, and strict quality control. Advanced automated processing and inspection equipment are used in production.

CNC Turning and Boring

• High-precision CNC machining centers ensure micron-level concentricity and surface roundness of cylinder bores.

• The inner wall is finely honed and polished to achieve a surface roughness of Ra0.2–0.4 μm, ensuring smooth and low-friction piston movement.

Surface Treatment

• Cylinder bodies are anodized or hard-oxidized for wear and corrosion resistance.

• Piston rods undergo high-frequency quenching and chrome plating to extend service life.

Sealing System Assembly

• All seals are assembled in a cleanroom environment using imported wear-resistant seals such as NBR, PU, and Viton to ensure excellent airtightness and long service life.

Fully Automated Inspection

• Every cylinder undergoes 100% airtightness testing and motion inspection before leaving the factory to guarantee consistent performance, no leakage, and smooth operation.

Two Main Cylinder Types

SC Series

• Compact structure, lightweight design

• Cylinder body made from high-precision aluminum alloy, piston rod with hard chrome treatment for wear and corrosion resistance

• Standardized interfaces: ISO 15552 or ISO 6431

• Wide stroke options, adjustable with limit screws or cushioning devices

SU Series

• Smaller size with better sealing

• Faster response, lower inertia, high precision

• Shorter strokes with limited adjustment

• Suitable for space-constrained automation equipment, fixtures, and small conveyors

AirTAC Cylinder Accessories: Extended Functionality and Performance

AirTAC cylinders come with various accessories, including mounting parts, transmission connectors, sensors, and pneumatic interface fittings, which improve installation flexibility, control precision, and system reliability.

• Piston and Seals: Precisely matched and assembled

• Piston Rod Materials: High-strength alloy steel or stainless steel, hard-chrome plated for tensile and wear resistance

• Seals: Made from wear-resistant, high/low-temperature resistant FKM or PU to ensure long-term airtightness

• Accessory Materials: Mounting brackets, trunnions, and foot mounts mainly use aluminum alloy or steel for strength and lightweight

Pneumatic tubing interfaces are designed with threaded or quick-connect fittings, ensuring easy connection and maintenance while maintaining airtightness and pressure resistance.

Fokca Processing Methods and Production Equipment

The company emphasizes high precision for sealing surfaces and fitting tolerances. AIRTAC actuators undergo CNC turning, boring, polishing, and electroplating. The surface roughness of piston rods is usually controlled below Ra0.2 to ensure smooth movement, low friction, and excellent airtight performance.

For mounting accessories such as brackets, trunnions, and connectors, Fokca uses automated milling and stamping, with surface anodizing or nickel plating for enhanced strength and durability.Contact us directly!
