Heavy-Duty Pneumatic
Die Lifters
Pacesetter Systems, Inc. Booth C1412
Pacesetter Systems, Inc., Valencia, CA, a manufacturer of quick-die-change sys- tems and metal-stamping accessories,
introduces its Air Glide heavy-duty pneu- matic die lifters, available with ball bear- ings for multi-directional movement or cylindrical bearings for in-line move- ment. Both styles feature extra-large precision-ground bearings and high-qual- ity O-ring seals to optimize lifting efficiency and durability. With Air Glide heavy-duty die lifters, it takes only 40 lb. of force to move a typical 2000-lb. die.
Air Glide lifters use standard shop air pressure and install easily in standard ANSI T-slots. Because they have no internal air bags or bladders to corrode and crack, the rollers reportedly are more resistant than other pneumatic rollers to the harsh chemicals and lubri- cants used in metal stamping.
The die lifters are available from stock in 5⁄8-, 3⁄4- and 1-in. sizes in lengths up 72 in.; custom lengths and metric sizes also are available.
